If it has local storage then it doesn't get uploaded anywhere.
It also has BT so the offline mode could be simply "record to SD card and view videos using some app via Bluetooth".
Online mode with notifications and two-way talking has to require internet access so I definitely wouldn't trust it, with or without subscription.
It's a rebranded Tuya device, which can actually be used in a local only mode.
I wouldn't trust connecting it to the Tuya online services though that is for certain.
