LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2025 — Sense/Net today published its first transparency report, covering the fiscal year to June 30, 2025. The report sets out how many performers the company recorded and under what consent, how many withdrew it, who appears in the background of its titles, how often viewers are shown a personalized edition, what went wrong during playback, and what governments and courts asked it for.
Among its findings: 418 performers recorded in the year, and 11 withdrew consent before release. No member of the public appeared in a title released in the year without a release. And 63.8% of Fullfield plays were of an adaptive edition, in which Fullfield Ambient generates a different street, crowd or weather for each viewer.
“We record people in a medium that is very good at making things feel true,” said Simone Donnelly, head of trust and safety. “We should be the first to say exactly what is in it.”
The company will publish a report every October.
