Privacy
This page covers the Bead app and this website.
What Bead stores
Bead keeps your lists, tasks and settings on your device. There are no accounts and nothing to sign in to.
We receive anonymous usage stats: the app and its version, the platform, when it was first opened and how long it has been in use, whether the Pro page was seen or bought, which of our links brought you to the app, and the country the request came from. We use them to see how the apps are used and where they find their audience. We do not keep the connection address, and nothing in the stats identifies you or your phone.
Purchases
Bead Pro is a one-time purchase handled by the store you bought it from: Google Play on Android, the App Store on iPhone. We never see your payment details. Google's handling is covered by Google's privacy policy, and Apple's by Apple's privacy policy. The app keeps an on-device record that Pro is unlocked.
When a Pro purchase completes, the store tells us, so we can count sales. We are told which app and which product, not who bought it.
Casting
If you cast, Bead sends the day's lanes to your Chromecast or Google TV over your own network, and your TV loads the display page from this site. Casting uses Google's Cast framework and is covered by Google's privacy policy. Each time the display page is loaded we count it: the time and whether it was a TV or a browser, and nothing else. No IP address and no identifier are kept.
Photos and files you attach
Attachments arrive through the system pickers, which hand the app only what you selected. Bead keeps a copy in its own private storage, the original stays where it was, and removing an attachment deletes only Bead's copy.
Moving to a new phone
On Android, Bead's database and settings ride Android's own backup and transfer, so your lists arrive without an account. On iPhone the same files travel in whatever backup you have turned on. That backup is between you and Google or Apple, under their policies.
Notifications
Bead does not send notifications, on either platform, so there is no device token, no push identifier and no delivery record anywhere.
This website
No cookies, no accounts and nothing to sign up for. The web server keeps a standard access log for up to 30 days, and we do not count page views. The one exception is the TV display page, described under Casting above. The one other exception is a visit that arrives from one of our own ads or posts: we count it once, with the time, the ad or post it came from, the country and the device type, and nothing that identifies you. If you then tap a store button, we count that too and, except for visitors in the UK and Europe, send Google back the click reference it added to the link, so it can tell the ad worked.
The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which handles requests on our behalf; Cloudflare's privacy policy describes how it handles data as our provider. Some pages link out to other services such as Google Play, which are covered by their own privacy policies, not this one.
Children
Bead is a general-audience app.
