Privacy Policy

BeaconAI LLC ("we", "our", "the company") develops mobile and web applications including BeaconAI Tools, StudyForge, BeaconAI Off-Grid, BeaconAI Kitchen, AdventureForge (planned — not yet released), 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.

Geographic scope: BeaconAI apps are available globally, including the European Union and the United Kingdom. Users in the EU and UK have additional rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR, respectively. To exercise these rights, submit a request using the email address in the Your Rights section below.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 All Apps

Device information: If you send feedback from BeaconAI Tools, the email includes your device model, operating system version and app version so we can reproduce the problem. BeaconAI Tools does not use a crash-reporting or analytics service.
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, it is sent to our support email. In BeaconAI Tools, the message is prepared in your own email app and nothing is sent until you press Send there. You can attach up to three photos or videos.
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.
Analytics data: Usage and analytics data collected by Firebase Analytics.

1.4 BeaconAI Tools — Additional Data

Install ID: When you use handwriting capture in Notes Capture, the app sends a random ID with the request. The app generates this ID itself; it is not derived from your device, your accounts or your advertising ID, and reinstalling the app creates a new one. Our proxy uses it only to enforce the daily limit of 30 handwriting photos and keeps it for up to 48 hours.
IP address: To limit abuse, our proxy stores a one-way hash of your IP address combined with the date, never the address itself, for up to 48 hours.
Location: Sun & Moon sends your current coordinates, or a saved location you chose, to Open-Meteo to get the weather forecast. When you search for a place, the name you type is sent to Open-Meteo's place search. The Compass map downloads map images from OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap or Esri, depending on the map style you choose; these services receive requests for the area shown on screen. None of this location information is sent to us.
Exchange rates and moon images: The Currency Converter requests rates from Frankfurter (European Central Bank reference rates) and CoinGecko, and Sun & Moon downloads moon images from NASA. These requests contain no personal information beyond what any internet request reveals, such as your IP address.
On-device features: QR codes, including codes read from a photo you pick, are decoded on your device. Joining a Wi-Fi network from a scanned code hands the network details to your phone's own Wi-Fi settings. Passwords, passphrases, home-screen widgets and reminders are generated and stored on your device.

We do NOT collect, across any app: personal identifiers unless voluntarily provided (except Apple ID and Google account identifiers required to create a ColorShare account); location data beyond what you explicitly grant; 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. The exception is dictation (speech to text) in BeaconAI Tools, which uses your phone's built-in speech recognition: depending on your device and settings, Google (Android) or Apple (iOS) may process the audio under their own privacy policies. We never receive dictation audio. 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, planned — not yet released). Data sent is transmitted securely, used only to complete the specific feature you requested, and is never sold or used to train AI models. Our proxy does not store the photos, documents or text you send. It keeps only short-lived usage counters (see "Install ID" and "IP address" in section 1.4), which expire within 48 hours.

Who powers what:

Handwriting recognition and Notes Capture: Claude (Anthropic) via our Cloudflare Workers proxy
Meal planning suggestions (BeaconAI Kitchen): Claude (Anthropic) via our Cloudflare Workers proxy
AdventureForge campaign generation (planned — not yet released): Claude (Anthropic) via our Cloudflare Workers proxy

The proxy itself is operated by BeaconAI LLC on Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare does not access the content of requests.

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 (per Anthropic's data retention policy). 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 5 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 (getbeaconai.com and BeaconAI Resume): Google AdSense. AdSense is pending approval on getbeaconai.com and is not yet active. BeaconAI Resume will use AdSense once approved. ColorShare does not use AdSense.

AdMob and AdSense may collect device identifiers and usage data per their own privacy policies, and may serve personalized ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com. In the EU, UK and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalized ads load. Paid tiers are completely ad-free. In BeaconAI Tools, the Compass is always ad-free, and ads never appear while you are using a tool.

5. Data Storage

BeaconAI Tools, StudyForge, BeaconAI Off-Grid, BeaconAI Kitchen, AdventureForge (planned — not yet released), and BeaconAI Resume store your app data locally on your device. We have no access to this data. Uninstalling removes all locally stored data. On Android, if backup is turned on in your phone's settings, Android may include BeaconAI Tools data (habits, notes, settings and similar) in your phone's backup to your Google account, which is controlled by you and Google. The Password Vault is always excluded from backups and never leaves your device. BeaconAI Tools' Home Inventory backup file is created only when you choose to, and saved wherever you choose. 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 results in immediate, permanent deletion. You can delete your account at colorshare.app/delete-account. See our Terms of Service for the data deletion timeline.

6. Security

Data in transit is encrypted via TLS.
Locally stored data is protected by your device's security.
ColorShare data on Firebase is protected by Firebase security rules and Google's infrastructure.
No system is perfectly secure. If you have security concerns, please report them to .

7. Website

Our website at getbeaconai.com does not use tracking cookies or analytics, except for pages serving Google AdSense once approved (AdSense is currently pending approval and not yet active), which may use cookies as described in Google's own advertising policies.

Quote requests and early-access signups are submitted to BeaconAI LLC's own server endpoints hosted on Cloudflare and stored in a private Cloudflare D1 database accessible only to BeaconAI LLC. We use this information only to respond to your request or to notify you about the apps you selected, and we delete it on request — email us or reply to any message we send. To limit abuse, we store a one-way hash of your IP address rather than the address itself. Spam protection uses Cloudflare Turnstile.
