The facial detection all runs locally in your browser using tensorflow.js and it's crazy that we live in a time that's even possible :D

But I do appreciate the feedback and will be sure to add a disclaimer and make it clear what's going on!

Yeah it doesn't need to be long (short is actually better as more chance of people reading it through)

1. The app requests permission to view your camera

2. Your video stream is displayed and a local js script will run facial recognition (not against a database, just a binary "is this a face") and only then will it allow you to join the chat.

3. When you join the chat, your video and audio will be transmitted but will not be stored.

some people likely won't even read it and just click anyway, but for the curious and/or paranoid it will definitely be reassuring.

thanks for sharing your work.
