I. General information
This product privacy statement is applicable to various products of Barco NV and its subsidiaries (“Barco”) is a public limited liability company incorporated under Belgian law, with registered office at President Kennedypark 35, 8500 Kortrijk, Belgium.
This Product Privacy Statement provides transparency and accountability in how Barco products handle personal data,
The Product Privacy Statement consists of two parts.
In a first general section (section I) we provide general information which is applicable to almost any Barco product.
In the second section (section II), the product-specific sections, we describe our data collection practices applicable to specific Barco products. In case of contradictions between the general privacy information of Barco and the information in a product-specific section, the information in the product-specific section will take precedence.
This Product Privacy Statement can be modified, e.g. as a result of new functionalities of the Barco products. We thus advise you to check this Product Privacy Statement regularly. Any major changes will be announced via our homepage: Change history - Barco.
Section I : General Information on the collection of personal data
1. When does this privacy statement apply and what does it govern?
Your privacy is important to us. This section applies to processing of personal data through Barco Products.
Barco offers a wide range of products from projectors, display systems, medical devices, wireless presentation systems, video walls, services, and software. References to Barco products in this Privacy Statement include hardware, software and services as relevant.
This Product Privacy Statement does not apply to other processing of personal data by Barco which is not related to Barco products. In such cases the general Privacy Policy available on our website will apply.
2. Who is responsible for the processing of your personal data?
Barco products are intended for use by organizations (“end users”) and are administered and controlled by these end users.
When your organization, as an end user, is using a Barco product, your organization is responsible for the processing of these personal data through the Barco product and is hence the data controller. This means that your organization determines for what purposes and with what means the personal data are processed.
If you as a data subject wish to exercise your rights as described under the last section of this Product Privacy Statement, you will have to address the end user in the first place. In this case Barco will not have the right to directly assist you.
BARCO ACTING AS A PROCESSOR – For some products, Barco processes personal data on behalf of end users; in those cases, Barco acts as a processor, e.g. when Barco is managing the hosting environment of the Barco product. In that respect, Barco has created a data processing annex as part the End User License Agreement that includes all the terms and conditions applicable to the processing of such personal data by Barco as data processor with the aim of ensuring that the Parties comply with the applicable data protection laws.
BARCO ACTING AS A CONTROLLER - In addition to the above, Barco also processes personal data on its own initiative for the purposes explained below, without receiving instructions from the end user. Regarding these processing activities, Barco itself is responsible for processing, and therefore data controller next to the processing activities by the end user. Barco only processes the personal data related to the provision of products and services in limited cases; all these cases are explained in this Product Privacy Statement.
Barco has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who will be your point of contact for any questions regarding this Product Privacy Statement. The contact details of the DPO can be found under point 8 of this section of this Product Privacy Statement.

17. Swift Agent TFS-2
SwiftAgent TFS‑2 (“SwiftAgent”) is a browser‑based, all‑in‑one switcher for small to mid‑size events, combining screen management and autonomous camera control. SwiftAgent uses AI‑based active speaker detection to automatically select and switch camera views. Video streams are analysed in real time to detect and track persons and determine optimal framing.
The functionality relies on industry‑standard NVIDIA models (person detection, body pose detection, and facial landmark detection) and a face recognition model trained by Barco using commercially acquired datasets.
All video processing is performed locally on the SwiftAgent device in real time. No video footage, facial recognition templates, or personal identification data is stored or transmitted. Video frames are analysed transiently for camera control only and are immediately discarded.
Users can disable autonomous tracking at any time via the system settings and switch to manual camera control.
SwiftAgent processes technical and operational data such as device configuration, video formats, input/output settings and system logs. This data does not contain personal data and is processed locally for system operation and troubleshooting.
SwiftAgent applies appropriate technical security measures, including password‑protected administrator access, secure browser‑based management and encrypted network communications.
