Q: Can communities opt out of their Flock camera data being used to train Flock AI?

A: Yes. If you don’t like images from your town being used to train Flock AI, read on.

Flock has an undocumented opt-out. The question was asked by a citizen during a public hearing about Flock in Tewksbury, MA. Flock reps at the meeting said yes, there is an opt out available, and confirmed that the opt-out is not listed in the Terms and Conditions (i.e., this is an undocumented option for customers).

For details, see the June 23, 2026, recording of the Tewksbury Select Board starting at time index 1 hour, 36 minutes, 15 seconds — see meeting info at https://www.tewksbury-ma.gov/AgendaCenter/Select-Board-8.
