    Can anyone point to the source code please? They claim it is “privacy friendly”, so it cannot be proprietary, right? right? right?

      Your comment got me curious so I had a look.

      From their FAQ:

      Will Magic Earth be Open Source?

      No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.

        Oh ok so there is no way to independently verify its privacy or security. Doesn’t belong in this community then IMO.

          I think you have a wrong understanding of software auditing. Software can be closed source and 3rd party auditors can assess if it has good privacy and security implementations.

          Being closed source doesn’t necesarily mean it’s bad (for privacy/security).
