Source note: EMF blog announcement, Tildagon app docs, app directory, hexpansion docs, and common-problems page.
locator privacy · primary wiki · not collected
The plan makes SiNE an early example of a playful badge feature with privacy implications; the wiki also states that the Raspberry Pis were never set up, so no location data was collected.
Source note: EMF Badge Wiki SiNE page.
main-badge evidence boundary · source-limited audit · not promoted
The catalogue avoids inventing material, role, visual, puzzle, or electronic claims for the official DEF CON 12 badge until stronger public sources are recovered.

medical guidance caveat · source-backed feature with clinical limits unverified · documented with caution
The badge is recorded as an event artifact and AI interaction surface, not as a trusted medical device or medical-advice system.
