People need to ask the question before making assumptions. In the case of Apple, they said it directly in the presentation of FaceID as well as TouchID IIRC. Yet people made these claims anyway. For this project, they also state it clearly on the page:

> Are my images being stored on Google servers?

> No. All the training is happening locally on your device.

Where is it clearly stating that? I couldn't find anything in the linked article + the github repo + teachablemachine.withgoogle.com

But I do agree people need to ask the question before making assumptions. Sadly, the two popular mindsets is either to not think about privacy at all, or believe that everything is infringing on your privacy.

1. Go to the site: https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com

2. Press "Start" or "Skip tutorial" (You don't have to give access to anything)

3. Scroll down to read the FAQ

Ah, I didn't get that far due to it requesting the webcam. I'd prefer that they state it before the request, but an FAQ at the start of the project is good enough.

I think the post above was referring to Apple, not Google. In the latter case, I think the claim is justified.
