Responsible Use Policy

ARMA Platform features must not be used to target, monitor, harass, or discriminate against individuals based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

Institutional deployments of ARMA Sentinel must be operated with equal application across all individuals present in monitored facilities. Selective monitoring based on protected characteristics is prohibited and may violate federal and state civil rights laws.

Where required by law, and as a matter of responsible practice, users of ARMA monitoring and recording features should provide appropriate notice to individuals who may be recorded.

Institutional deployments are encouraged to post visible signage indicating that safety monitoring is in operation, even where not legally required. Transparency builds trust and reduces legal risk.

ARMA Alert users should be aware that passengers may not be aware of active recording. Users are encouraged to inform passengers when cabin recording is active.

Monitoring and recording should be proportionate to the safety need being addressed. Continuous, pervasive monitoring of individuals beyond what is necessary for legitimate safety purposes is discouraged and may raise legal concerns.

Organizations should implement data minimization practices — collecting and retaining only the recordings and data necessary for their stated safety purpose.

ARMA evidence systems are designed to support truth and justice. Users must not use ARMA systems to fabricate, stage, selectively edit, or misrepresent incidents.

Evidence files must be shared honestly and completely with legal counsel and, where required, with courts. Selective disclosure of evidence that misleads courts or legal proceedings may constitute obstruction of justice.

If you discover that evidence captured through ARMA systems does not support your position in a legal proceeding, you are still obligated to disclose it as required by applicable legal and ethical rules.

Special care must be taken when ARMA systems are deployed in environments involving vulnerable populations, including children, elderly individuals, patients, and people with disabilities.

ARMA Domus elderly monitoring features must be used with the knowledge and consent of the monitored individual where they have capacity to consent. Deployment without consent of a competent adult may raise legal and ethical concerns.

Educational deployments of ARMA Sentinel must comply with FERPA and applicable state student privacy laws. Student data must not be retained beyond legally permitted periods.

If you become aware of any use of ARMA Platform features that appears to violate this Responsible Use Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law, please report it to:
