Privacy Policy

BeaconAI ("we", "our", "the company") develops mobile applications including BeaconAI Tools, StudyForge, BeaconAI Off-Grid, BeaconAI Kitchen, and AdventureForge. This policy explains what data we collect across all BeaconAI products, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal data necessary to operate our apps:

• Device information: OS version and device model, used only for crash diagnostics.
• App preferences: Theme, units, and display settings stored locally on your device.
• Feedback submissions: If you submit a bug report or suggestion, your message is sent to our support email. No account is required.
• Email address: Only if you voluntarily sign up for early access or beta testing through our website.

We do NOT collect:

• Your name, email, or any personal identifiers unless you provide them voluntarily
• Location data beyond what you explicitly grant for specific features
• Camera or microphone data beyond what is processed locally on your device
• Any data sold to or shared with advertisers

2. Camera & Microphone

Several BeaconAI apps use your device camera or microphone for specific features — QR scanning, handwriting capture, photo identification, and speech to text. All processing happens on-device or is transmitted only to our secure AI proxy for the specific feature you initiated. Images and audio are never stored by us after processing is complete.

3. Artificial Intelligence

Some features in BeaconAI apps use AI processing via our secure Cloudflare Workers proxy. Data sent for AI processing — such as handwriting images or document photos — is transmitted securely, used only to complete the specific feature you requested, and is never stored, sold, or used for training purposes.

4. Advertising

Free tiers of BeaconAI apps may display ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data per their own privacy policy. Paid tiers are completely ad-free. Tactical/Night mode in BeaconAI Tools suppresses all ads regardless of subscription status.

5. Data Storage

All app data is stored locally on your device. We have no access to your locally stored data. Uninstalling an app removes all locally stored data associated with it.

6. Website

Our website at getbeaconai.dev does not use tracking cookies or analytics. If you submit our early access signup form, your email address is collected via Google Forms and stored in a private Google Sheet accessible only to BeaconAI. We will only contact you regarding early access and beta testing for the apps you expressed interest in. You can request removal from our list at any time by emailing us.

7. Third-Party Services

• Google AdMob — ad serving on free tiers
• Google Play — app distribution and purchase management
• Apple App Store — app distribution and purchase management
• Google Forms / Google Sheets — early access email collection
• Cloudflare Workers — secure AI proxy

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.

8. Children's Privacy

BeaconAI apps are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our apps evolve. The current version is always available at getbeaconai.dev/privacy and within each app under Settings → Privacy Policy.
