Data & privacy
Your footage stays yours. By design.
Survey teams record terabytes. RouteLens is built to work where your files already live, and to tell you before anything is sent anywhere.
| Data | Where it goes | Your control |
|---|---|---|
| Original videos | Read in place from laptop, drive or NAS | Never uploaded, never modified or deleted |
| Project records | Browser storage (IndexedDB) on your device | Export a project file or ZIP for real backups |
| Cloud backups (optional) | Private workspace storage, SHA-256 checked | Project files only, never original recordings |
| Online map tiles (optional) | Tile provider receives IP, map area and zoom | Use an offline tile pack to avoid this |
| Road snapping (optional) | Thinned coordinates sent to an OSRM service | Only after you confirm; original data unchanged |
| AI detector (optional) | Sampled frames sent to your chosen detector | Off by default; local model or remote API |
| Speech & OCR (optional) | Runs locally with Whisper and Tesseract | Nothing leaves your machine |
Safety built in
Protection for long, messy field projects.
Transactional saves
A failed save keeps the previous good state and leaves your form open with retry or a draft backup.
Two-tab conflict warning
Two browser tabs on the same project warn instead of overwriting each other.
Portable backups
Project ZIP with SHA-256 manifest, telemetry, evidence frames and full revision history.
Roles and MFA
Owner, Editor and Viewer roles, authenticator-app MFA and live session revocation on the hosted site.
Resumable jobs
Compression, reports and indexing can be cancelled and retried, and outputs are hash-verified.
Offline first
The local launcher reviews footage with no internet connection at all.
Optional website analytics
The public website uses Google Analytics only after you choose Allow analytics. It measures visits, referral sources and interactions such as scrolling, outbound links, downloads and form activity using Google’s default enhanced measurement. A successful demo request also records a generate_lead event without your submitted name, email, phone or message.
Google Analytics uses browser cookies and processes website interaction data. The tracking code is not included in the survey dashboard, and does not receive your survey recordings or project contents. Our initial page identifiers exclude URL queries and fragments. You can decline or change your choice using Analytics preferences in the footer. Declining keeps the site usable.
Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google’s Analytics opt-out option. Clearing browser storage also clears the saved consent choice.
Are my videos uploaded when I use the hosted site?
No. Hosted mode adds sign-in, team workspaces and private backups of project files. Original recordings stay on your device and are reconnected after a restore.
What happens if a drive is unplugged?
The catalog and history stay. RouteLens tells you exactly which file to reconnect and checks its size and fingerprint before using it again.
Does an expired licence lock my data?
No. An expired or invalid licence never hides or deletes data; viewing, export and restore keep working.
