🔒 Your camera never leaves your device
All pose detection runs entirely in your browser using MediaPipe. No video frames, images, or camera data are ever sent to our servers. We cannot see you — the AI model runs locally on your device.
What we collect
- Scores & usernames — when you submit a score, your chosen username and result (reaction time or dab count) are stored in our database.
- No personal identification — we do not collect your name, email, IP address (beyond ephemeral rate limiting), or any account information.
- Local storage — your username is saved in your browser's localStorage so you don't have to retype it. It stays on your device.
Camera & pose detection
Dab Pose uses your webcam only to detect whether you're performing a dab pose. The camera feed is processed in real time by MediaPipe Holistic running in your browser. No frames are transmitted, stored, or analyzed by our servers at any point.
Camera access is requested only when you click "Let's Go" and is released when you close the game.
Leaderboard data
Scores submitted to the leaderboard are public. Anyone visiting the site can see usernames and scores. Do not use your real name as a username if you prefer privacy.
Third-party services
- Upstash Redis — stores leaderboard scores. Subject to Upstash's privacy policy.
- Vercel — hosts the application. Subject to Vercel's privacy policy.
- jsDelivr CDN — serves the MediaPipe WASM model files. No user data is shared.
