Camera consent should be understandable before the capture, not reconstructed afterward. Everyone present must agree before an owner-triggered Sight capture. Good practice adds three details: explain what the camera will capture, why it will be processed, and what result you expect.
Ask a specific question
Say that Oneira will use an optional connected service for one photo and a short notice, read, or help reply. Point out the intended frame and allow time for an answer. General permission to be in a room, attend an event, or appear in someone else's photograph does not automatically cover this separate connected-processing request.
Treat refusal and uncertainty as no
Do not capture when someone refuses, has not heard the explanation, cannot reasonably consent, or believes they will be excluded from the frame but may still appear. Reposition the device toward an object-only scene or wait. The convenience of the reply never outweighs another person's control over the capture.
Use extra care in sensitive places
Schools, clinics, workplaces, homes, changing areas, security checkpoints, and private events may prohibit cameras or external processing regardless of individual agreement. For children or people who cannot provide informed consent, follow the applicable guardian, venue, and legal requirements and default to not capturing when the situation is unclear.
The short version
- Explain the frame, purpose, and connected processing before capture.
- A refusal, uncertainty, or inability to consent means do not capture.
