Privacy Policy

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

Most BeaconAI apps are offline-first and store data only on your device. ColorShare is the exception — it requires an account and uses cloud storage to power its social/community features. Where practices differ by app, this policy says so explicitly.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 All 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 (or in your account, for ColorShare).
• Feedback submissions: If you submit a bug report or suggestion, your message is sent to our support email. No account is required, except where noted.
• Email address: Only if you voluntarily sign up for early access or beta testing through our website, or if you create an account in an app that requires one.

1.2 BeaconAI Resume — Additional Data

• Resume and career content: Names, employment history, education, skills, and other content you enter. Stored locally on your device.
• Uploaded documents: Source resumes, job postings, transcripts, and certificates are processed for content extraction and are not stored permanently — only extracted text and metadata remain on your device after processing.
• Subscription status: Managed via RevenueCat to determine your tier and unlock paid features.

1.3 ColorShare — Additional Data

ColorShare requires an account and is not offline-first. Creating an account means we collect and store more than our other apps:

• Account information: Your Apple ID or Google account identifier, used solely for authentication. We do not see or store your password.
• Profile information: Username, avatar, bio, accent color preference, and any social links you choose to add.
• User-generated content: Photos, post descriptions, comments, color swatch data, and book/material tags. Stored on Firebase servers.
• Social graph data: Followers, following, likes, bookmarks, and comment history.
• Content moderation data: Uploaded images are automatically screened using Google Cloud Vision's SafeSearch before being made visible to other users.
• Notification tokens: Used to deliver push notifications. You can disable these in Settings.

We do NOT collect, across any app: personal identifiers unless voluntarily provided; location data beyond what you explicitly grant; camera or microphone data beyond what is processed locally; or any data sold to advertisers.

2. Camera & Microphone

Several BeaconAI apps use your camera or microphone for specific features — QR scanning, handwriting capture, photo identification, speech to text, barcode scanning (ColorShare), and photo uploads (ColorShare, BeaconAI Kitchen). All processing happens on-device or is transmitted only to our secure AI proxy or content moderation service for the specific feature you initiated. Images and audio are never stored by us after processing, except for ColorShare, where photos you intentionally post are stored as part of your account until you delete them.

3. Artificial Intelligence

Some features use AI processing via our secure Cloudflare Workers proxy, including handwriting recognition (BeaconAI Tools, BeaconAI Kitchen), meal planning suggestions (BeaconAI Kitchen), and AI-generated campaign content (AdventureForge). Data sent is transmitted securely, used only to complete the specific feature you requested, and is never stored by us, sold, or used to train AI models.

3.1 BeaconAI Resume — Third-Party AI Processing

BeaconAI Resume uses Anthropic's Claude AI service to extract information from documents you upload and to generate resume content, cover letters, and interview preparation materials.

• What is sent: The text content of documents you choose to upload (resumes, job postings, transcripts, certificates), along with resume content you've entered, when you use AI-powered features.
• Who it's sent to: Anthropic, PBC, the maker of Claude, via a secure proxy server we operate. We do not send your data anywhere else.
• Why: To extract structured resume information and to generate AI-assisted content (summaries, bullet points, cover letters, interview guides) at your request.
• Your control: AI features are optional. You can build and edit a resume entirely manually. Before your documents are first sent for AI processing, the app will ask for your explicit permission.
• Data protection: Anthropic does not use your data to train its AI models. Content sent to Anthropic's API is deleted in accordance with their data retention policy (currently within 7 days). Read more at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

ColorShare additionally uses Google Cloud Vision (not Claude) to automatically screen uploaded images for policy violations. See Section 13 of our Terms of Service for our full content moderation policy.

4. Advertising

Free tiers of BeaconAI products may display ads:

• Mobile apps: served by Google AdMob
• Web apps and website (BeaconAI Resume, ColorShare, getbeaconai.dev): served by Google AdSense

AdMob and AdSense may collect device identifiers and usage data per their own privacy policies. Paid tiers are completely ad-free. Tactical/Night mode in BeaconAI Tools suppresses all ads regardless of subscription status.

5. Data Storage

BeaconAI Tools, StudyForge, BeaconAI Off-Grid, BeaconAI Kitchen, AdventureForge, and BeaconAI Resume store your app data locally on your device. We have no access to this data. Uninstalling removes all locally stored data. BeaconAI Resume optionally allows you to export a backup ZIP to your own Google Drive or iCloud — we never have access to this backup.

ColorShare stores your account and content data on Google Firebase servers. Deleting your account removes your profile and posts from public view; see our Terms of Service for our data deletion timeline.

6. Website

Our website at getbeaconai.dev does not use tracking cookies or analytics, except for ad-supported pages serving Google AdSense, which may use cookies as described in Google's own advertising policies. If you submit our early access signup form, your email is collected via Google Forms and stored in a private Google Sheet accessible only to BeaconAI LLC. We will only contact you regarding the apps you expressed interest in. You can request removal at any time by emailing us.
