The platform is designed for after-the-fact forensic investigations rather than real-time surveillance and has been noted for its high accuracy. The company has faced legal challenges and regulatory scrutiny regarding its data collection practices and privacy implications, leading to restrictions on its use in certain regions and for private entities in the US.
