Letter to your building manager

  • Fill in every blank in [brackets] before you print. Use the place'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 place, ask them to pass it to the owner or tell you who can sign.
  • Keep the signed copy with that place's contract, and snap a photo of it on your phone. Tell your crew about any areas they asked you to skip.

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

[Date]

Dear [Building manager name],

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

A member of our crew wears a phone on a headband, up at the forehead and tipped down. It films their hands, the tools and the spot being worked on. It does not scan the room like a security camera.

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

What we record

  • Our crew's hands and tools.
  • The counter, floor, shelf or equipment being worked on.
  • Shared areas 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 or area you ask us to skip.

Questions

Call or text me at [Your phone]. You can say no, or tell us which rooms or areas 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]
