The question every guest asks
There is no recording, because there is nothing to record.
This is the page to forward to whoever raises it — a guest, a GM, or a data protection officer.
The part your guests will ask about
There is no recording, because there is nothing to record.
A microphone captures a signal you could play back. This doesn't. The sensor's acoustic chip converts sound into a sound pressure level in decibels — a single number, a few times a minute — and the number is all that ever leaves the chip.
Compare the two side by side:
Roughly 1.4 million samples every minute. Every word, every name, every argument, every phone call. Stored or streamed, it can be replayed, transcribed and subpoenaed.
- Identifiable voices
- Full conversation content
- A GDPR data-protection impact assessment, and a lawful basis you'd struggle to establish
- A guest complaint the first time somebody notices it
That is the entire acoustic record. Four numbers a minute. There is no audio buffer, no stream, no file and no cloud microphone service — because the device never produces audio in the first place.
- No voices, no words, no speaker identity
- Nothing that can be replayed, because nothing was captured
- Nothing that constitutes personal data on its own
- Something you can state plainly in your listing and your key-card wallet
The same holds for occupancy. Presence is measured by 24 GHz radar — it detects a chest rising and falling through a duvet, in complete darkness, with no lens and no image of any kind.
Availability
Coming soon.
Pulse is in final testing ahead of its first hundred-room rollout. Leave your details and we'll be in touch when units are available — with a live dashboard, a walk through exactly what is and isn't captured, and a rollout costed against the numbers you put in above.
