Information you provide
We collect account and profile information you choose to provide, such as your display name, username, email address, biography, profile media, posts, comments, messages, follows, reports, and preferences.
Payment card details will be collected and processed by Stripe when paid subscriptions launch. Beecon does not intend to store full card numbers or security codes.
- Account credentials and verified contact information
- Content, media, reactions, messages, and reports
- Profile visibility, notification, theme, and security preferences
Information collected automatically
Beecon receives technical and activity information needed to operate and protect the service. This can include browser and device details, IP-derived region, session records, timestamps, viewed posts, interactions, diagnostic logs, and abuse-prevention signals.
A post view is designed to count once per signed-in account. Operational logs may still record repeated requests for reliability and security.
How information is used
- Authenticate accounts and keep sessions secure
- Deliver feeds, profiles, messages, notifications, and media
- Apply privacy choices and personalize recommendations
- Detect spam, fraud, abuse, and technical failures
- Measure service performance and develop new features
- Comply with lawful requests and enforce Beecon’s terms
Service providers and sharing
Beecon uses service providers to run essential infrastructure. Supabase provides authentication and relational data services, Cloudflare R2 stores and delivers media, Brevo delivers transactional email, and Stripe is planned for payment processing.
Providers receive only the information reasonably needed to perform their services. Beecon does not sell personal information for money. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect users, or as part of a properly structured business transfer.
Public and private activity
Public profiles and public content can be viewed and shared by others. Private-account content is limited according to your accepted follower relationships, but no online service can guarantee that another user will not capture or redistribute content they can see.
You can change profile visibility in Privacy & Security. Search may still expose limited account identity information needed to send a follow request to a private account.
Retention and deletion
Information is kept while your account is active and as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, satisfy legal obligations, and maintain security.
When you schedule account deletion, Beecon provides a recovery window based on the active tier. After that period, account-linked data is queued for permanent deletion. Some records may remain in backups or restricted logs for a limited period when legally or technically necessary.
Security and passkeys
Beecon uses access controls, encrypted transport, row-level database security, and device-bound passkeys to reduce risk. Passkeys use WebAuthn: your fingerprint or biometric template stays with your device or credential provider, while Beecon receives only cryptographic proof and public credential metadata.
No system is perfectly secure. Contact support promptly if you believe your account or device has been compromised.
Your choices and rights
- Access and update profile information in Settings
- Control profile privacy and notification preferences
- Remove registered passkeys and sign out sessions
- Delete content where the product provides that control
- Schedule account deletion
- Request access, correction, export, restriction, objection, or deletion when applicable law provides those rights
Children and international use
Beecon is not intended for children who are below the minimum age required to consent to an online service in their location. If you believe a child has provided information improperly, contact us.
Beecon’s providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards will be used for international transfers.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as Beecon, its providers, or applicable laws change. Material changes will be announced in the product or by email when appropriate.
Privacy questions and rights requests can be sent through the Contact page or to support.mybeecon@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling an account-specific request.
Questions & answers
Does Beecon store my fingerprint?
No. Your biometric data stays on your device or with your passkey provider. Beecon receives a signed cryptographic response and stores only the credential information needed to verify it.
Does Beecon sell personal information?
Beecon does not sell personal information for money. Service providers process limited information to operate features such as authentication, email, media delivery, and future payments.
What can people see when my profile is private?
People can find limited identity information needed to recognize your account and request to follow it. Your protected profile content is available only after you accept the request.
How do I delete my account?
Open Account Settings, choose Delete account, and complete the confirmation steps. The account enters a recovery period before permanent deletion.
Can I request a copy of my information?
Yes where applicable law grants that right. Contact Beecon support from the email associated with your account so the request can be verified.
