Privacy questions to ask before adding a game-watching app: plain answers for Signal Broker.

What does the app look at?

Frames of the game window you chose, or the screen region it occupies, while a session you started runs and is not paused. That is the privacy notice’s own description, and the rest of it is just as narrow: the app captures nothing outside a session, never captures your microphone (it has none), and captures no other window than the one you chose.

Capture is something you switch on each time. In the app you tick Allow game capture before START BROKER, after reviewing the capture notice on the Play screen; you consent to the capture in the app each time a session starts, and without that consent nothing is captured. PAUSE stops the looking as well as the speaking until you press RESUME; STOP ends the session.

One responsibility comes with that: the screen you share during a session is yours. The terms ask you not to deliberately expose other people’s personal data or confidential material to the Broker, which in practice means choosing the game window rather than a desktop with other things on it.

Where do the frames go, and are they kept?

To the Signal Broker service, with a short description of the session so far, and on to its AI provider (named in the privacy notice as OpenAI, processing in the United States) to produce the Broker’s observations and lines. The frames are held in the service’s working memory only while they are processed; they are not written to its database or file storage, and the service does not store video, screenshots or any recording of your play.

What is kept, and for how long, is spelled out: his observations (short text descriptions of what is on screen) and the lines he speaks are kept for a retention window of 24 hours by default, and the service cannot be configured to keep them longer than 7 days. The generated audio is temporary media that the service retires once the app confirms a line was played. For the provider, the notice quotes OpenAI’s published API data policy as read on 2 October 2026: data sent to the API is not used to train its models unless a customer opts in, and API logs are kept for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring.

What stays on my PC?

Your settings, your sign-in session for the app and diagnostic logs beside the app. These stay on your PC unless you send them to support yourself. A developer frame recorder exists for support cases and is off unless you switch it on. Your password never reaches the app: sign-in opens this website in your browser, and a single-use code returns to the app.

The website’s advertising tag is not installed in the app.

What does the website measure?

The website is a separate matter from the app, and the notices page keeps them apart. Google Analytics measures page views and clicks on download links; a download click does not confirm a completed download or installation. No account identifiers, email addresses, payment details or gameplay are sent to Analytics, and Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled. Normal website pages also load the Google Ads tag to measure advertising effectiveness; the desktop sign-in authorization pages do not. The recorded-session pages embed YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com), which loads with the page, and the site’s typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts; both disclose your IP address to Google.

There is no cookie consent banner. Instead, a Global Privacy Control signal or Do Not Track with value 1 skips the Analytics configuration and disables advertising storage and the purchase-conversion event; Google’s tag still loads and may send cookieless technical requests, and your browser’s cookie and script controls apply on top.

What are my consent choices?

What the app never takes

• Your microphone. The app has none. There is no voice input of any kind.
• Your chat. The app has no chat; he does not read stream chat or messages.
• Your password. Sign-in happens on this website with Google; the service never stores your password.
• Other applications. Only the window you chose, only during a session.
• Control of the game. He comments on gameplay; the app never sends input to the game.

Read the documents themselves

This article is a plain-language summary and nothing more: it is not a policy, it changes nothing, and nobody has audited anything for it. The documents it summarises are the privacy notice, the cookies, storage, third-party services and AI notices and the terms, published on this site with their version and date at the top; where this page and a document differ, the document is right. The questions page has the short answers, and the setup guide lists what leaves your PC in three lines.

Signal Broker is an AI system. The Broker’s words and voice are generated using AI. No person is speaking or writing what he says.

Limits

• A plain-language summary, not a policy: where it differs from the privacy notice, the notices page or the terms, those documents govern. No audit, certification or test is claimed.
• The legal documents are published as public drafts with their version and date at the top; they change, and this article is checked against the draft named in its sources.
• He does not hear you and does not read chat; the app has no microphone input and no chat.
• Founder Alpha is early-access software; the commentary can be wrong, repeated or badly timed, and it is sold to customers in the United States only.
