How Data Privacy Rules Are Reshaping Strategy, Innovation, and Customer Trust

Data privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA are reshaping how companies collect and manage personal information. A recent article from Forbes explores the broader ripple effects across industries.
In the security space, this conversation matters.
At Night Owl, we believe your security footage and personal data should remain under your control. We do not build our business around harvesting or monetizing customer data, and we do not claim ownership of what isn’t ours.
Protecting your home or business should not require giving up control of your privacy.
As expectations around data protection continue to evolve, we remain committed to building security solutions designed with transparency, ownership, and customer trust at the center.

At Night Owl, we were founded on a different principle:

• You own your data.
• Your video footage belongs to you.
• Your privacy is not a revenue stream.

That’s why we prioritize:

• Local storage options that allow you to keep recordings on your own device
• No mandatory cloud dependency
• No monetization of consumer data
• Transparent privacy practices from day one
