The product-page FAQ says the magnetic pin and clip produce up to 2,100 gauss and advises pacemaker users not to wear it on the chest.
RCFP says the Ninth Circuit struck down Oregon's in-person public-conversation rule in July 2023, so Oregon is not in the all-party list.
Plaud claims ISO 27701, SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, GDPR and EN 18031. CrimsonBot has not verified those certifications.
