Disclaimer and terms

SpareEye is provided by 巷口數位科技股份有限公司 / GO LOCAL DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. (we). It is for adults aged 18 or over, not a child-directed service. Local viewing requires no account.

If language versions differ, the Traditional Chinese version prevails. Mandatory legal rights remain unaffected.

Placement and care: secure the phone and leave ventilation space. Keep it away from water, direct sun, blankets, beds and cables within a child’s reach. Stop using it if unusually hot or the battery appears faulty. Plug in for long use and check regularly; power does not prevent heat or disconnections. Play soothing music quietly; it has no promised medical effect. SpareEye cannot replace adult care, emergency alerts, medical monitoring or professional security. Keep a way to check in person.

If disconnected, the image may freeze, go black or show Connecting, and audio may stop. This does not mean nothing is happening. Check the person needing care in person first, then check power, Wi-Fi/hotspot, permissions and foreground state on both devices. Return within signal range and reconnect. There is no cloud recording to replay and no automatic emergency call. Regularly check that the image really updates.

In a car: while parked, share a hotspot and connect the other device. Secure the camera facing the back seat for a passenger to view. Keep sight lines, airbags and controls clear. Drivers must not operate or watch the app while driving. Never leave a child alone in the car.

Respect privacy: monitor only areas you are entitled to view, and give notice or obtain consent as local law requires, especially in hotels, public and shared spaces. Avoid bathrooms, changing areas, neighbours and others’ private spaces. Owning or pairing a phone does not authorize secret recording, eavesdropping or sharing others’ images.

SpareEye (SE) uses one device as a camera and another as a viewer. Join the same Wi-Fi network that allows devices to communicate, or share a hotspot from one device and join it from the other. No account is needed. Media goes directly between paired devices, without cloud storage or our own remote media server, avoiding a cloud round trip. Actual delay depends on your devices and network. Ads, payments, support and usage analytics when enabled use separate internet connections.

Layer 1, the network: viewing and connection negotiation are designed for the LAN, with no external TURN media relay or automatic UPnP router port opening. With typical home settings, outsiders usually need access to the same Wi-Fi or hotspot to reach it. Do not expose or forward ports. Strangers already share public Wi-Fi, so this layer cannot exclude them; the next two layers still matter. Prefer your own hotspot outside and strong passwords for both home Wi-Fi and hotspot. VPNs, routing and forwarding can change reachability; a network name alone is no security assurance.

Layer 2, pairing: finding a camera on the same network is not enough to watch without a pairing code or an existing key. Each new pairing generates a fresh random six-digit code, invalid after that pairing succeeds. The code does not yet rotate every 60 seconds while waiting. Three incorrect entries lock the attempt; wait and start again. Do not share the code. It is not a permanent password; previously paired devices reconnect with a saved key.

Layer 3, encryption and authentication: media is encrypted throughout transit between devices by WebRTC DTLS-SRTP, so intercepted media is not directly readable. Control commands use pairing-key signatures to check authenticity and changes, with one-time challenges or duplicate checks to reduce replay of old commands. Some control, negotiation and status traffic still uses local HTTP. Signatures do not conceal content; people on the network may see names and connection information. These measures cannot prevent every vulnerability or disconnection and do not mean all network data is encrypted.

Unpairing: remove the camera on the viewer, or remove the viewer under the camera’s Settings → Devices allowed to view this device. If the other device is offline, a one-sided removal does not confirm removal at both ends. If concerned, stop the camera and remove the pairing on both devices. Version 0.5.8 keeps a pending revocation notice until signed acknowledgement or re-pairing; it does not expire after 30 days. Other pairings and settings remain.

Watch the viewers: the camera displays the number watching and device names. Names can be changed and do not prove identity. If an unfamiliar viewer appears, stop the camera and remove the relevant pairing on both devices. You can unpair at any time using the steps above.

Limits and your part: these measures protect local connections and viewing permissions. They cannot secure a phone taken and unlocked by someone else or infected with malware, undo a shared pairing code, or eliminate other public-Wi-Fi risks and OS/router vulnerabilities. Use strong Wi-Fi/hotspot passwords and a screen lock. Update the app, OS and router, keep pairing and QR codes private, avoid personal names or room numbers in device names, and check the viewer count. If concerned, stop the camera, revoke pairing and inspect the devices and network.

Liability: to the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses from network, power, device or third-party failures not attributable to us. Liability for unlawful monitoring, disclosed codes or failure to follow safety advice depends on each party’s conduct, causation and applicable law; this is not a blanket exclusion. Nothing excludes intent, gross negligence, non-excludable personal-injury liability or mandatory consumer and other rights. Applicable law prevails over conflicting limits.

Remove ads and restore: the only planned purchase is Remove ads, a one-time NT$90 purchase in Taiwan, not a subscription. All sounds and music are free. Version 0.5.8 has no purchase/restore entry yet. When offered in 0.5.9, use the original store and account and the app’s restore entry to recover eligibility; purchases do not automatically transfer between stores. The store confirmation gives the actual price and availability. Purchasing does not automatically disable usage analytics.

Purchases, restoration and refunds follow store processes and applicable law; contact us for help. A one-time purchase does not transfer automatically between Apple/Google stores or include every future feature forever. Statutory refund and consumer rights remain. Read the privacy policy and guide and follow local law. Taiwan (Republic of China) law governs these terms without excluding mandatory local consumer protections or remedies before competent courts or authorities. Material updates will be notified as required by law.
