Owl Cam runs entirely on your Mac: capture, detection, recording and review never touch a server. Person detection uses Apple's on-device Vision framework.
Validating a Pro license key: the key and our organization id are sent to Polar's public validation endpoint, which answers valid or not. There is no account system, no email collection, no analytics, no crash reporting.
Clips are copied elsewhere only if you set a backup destination in Settings (a NAS, USB drive, or any folder you choose). Off by default.
