Before you join, the invite page tells you what the session records. Here’s what that means in practice.

​
What’s recorded

When you start a task or start recording, the episode captures:
  • the targets you send with your controllers, and the gripper commands
  • what the robot actually did, and everything else that moved in the simulation
  • the task’s progress and how the attempt ended
  • when you paused, reconnected or finished

​
What isn’t recorded

  • Practice. Nothing you do in practice is recorded as an attempt.
  • Your body. Raw head and hand tracking isn’t kept, only the targets you sent to the robot.
  • Your voice, camera or surroundings. Ballot doesn’t use the headset’s microphone or cameras.
  • An account. You join with a link, not a profile, and you don’t give us your name to pilot.
Even so, the way someone moves can be personal, so Ballot handles your recorded targets as personal data, with a stated purpose, limited access and a retention policy.

​
In team missions

  • Each seat is recorded separately. Your commands and your robot’s motion are saved under your seat, alongside your teammates’ in one team episode.
  • Teammates see your name tag over your robot, and your pings, during the mission.
  • Voice chat isn’t recorded. It’s only relayed live to your team, and you can mute it from the menu.

​
Who can see it

The person who invited you can choose to share an episode with you. Your invite link works like a ticket: whoever opens it first can use it. Don’t post it publicly. If you think someone else used it, tell the person who sent it so they can revoke it.
