Letter to your building manager

  • Fill in every blank in [brackets] before you print. Use the building's full name so the OK covers the right place.
  • Hand it over at your next walk-through, or save it as a PDF and email it.
  • If the manager does not own the building, ask them to pass it to the owner or tell you who can sign.
  • Keep the signed copy with that building's contract, and snap a photo of it on your phone. Tell your crew about any rooms they asked you to skip.

Asking your OK to record cleaning work at [Building name]

[Date]

Dear [Building manager name],

[Your company name] cleans [Building name]. We have joined a program run by Colby AI, Inc. Colby pays cleaning companies to record their real cleaning work on video. We would like your OK before we record at your building.

Our cleaner wears a phone on a headband, up at the forehead and tipped down. It films the cleaner's hands, the tools and the spot being cleaned. It does not scan the room like a security camera.

Colby uses the video to help AI and robot teams learn how cleaning is done. Colby owns the video and may share some of it with those teams. We will clean on the same schedule, with the same crew.

What we record

  • Our cleaners' hands and tools.
  • The sink, floor, trash can or counter being cleaned.
  • Rooms like lobbies, halls, break rooms and restrooms, only when no one else is in them.

What we keep off camera

  • Offices, desks and papers.
  • Computer screens and phones.
  • People. If someone walks in, we stop recording.
  • Any room you ask us to skip.

Questions

Call or text me at [Your phone]. You can say no, or tell us which rooms to skip. If you change your mind later, we will stop recording that same day.

If someone else owns the building, please pass this on or tell me who to ask.

Thank you,

[Your name], [Your company name]
