1. A note about this policy
Isaac Fraser operates Beamo. This policy explains how information is handled when you use the Beamo app and this information website. Features available to you may depend on your app version and permissions.
2. Information we handle
- Account and profile: your name, username, email address, date of birth, profile photo, and any optional profile information you provide, such as a phone number. Email accounts use a password stored as a hash. Sign in with Apple provides an Apple account identifier and the information Apple shares with your permission, which may include a private relay email address.
- Things you share: photos, captions, comments, reactions, messages, voice recordings, video messages, uploaded music clips, and song references you attach to posts. We also handle information needed to deliver them, such as participants, timestamps, read states, and replies.
- Connections and settings: friends, friend requests, group membership, blocked accounts, notification preferences, chat appearance, quick reactions, and posting activity used for streaks.
- Location: with device permission, Beamo can use your location for posts, nearby discovery, and friend map features. Coordinates can be precise even when a map shows a broader area. Location sharing and nearby discovery have separate in-app settings.
- Live interactions: connection status, typing indicators, and, when live typing preview is enabled, draft text shared before you send a message. Call setup features handle caller/recipient identifiers and device delivery information.
- Device and service information: account/session identifiers, notification tokens, IP addresses and connection information, app/device information, technical errors, and records needed to secure and operate the service.
- Help and safety: reports, their reasons and details, information about the reported account or content, and anything you send when contacting support.
- App analytics and configuration: release builds enable Google Analytics for Firebase for automatic app usage measurement. This may include app-instance identifiers, interaction events, device/app information, and approximate location derived from IP addresses. Firebase Remote Config delivers app configuration. Advertising storage, advertising user data, and ad personalization are disabled in the current app configuration.
- Crash reporting: Beamo’s release builds use Google’s Firebase Crashlytics to diagnose crashes and improve app stability. Crash reports can include stack traces, app state at the time of the crash, app version, device model and operating system, timestamps, and app installation and session identifiers. Reports can also include app startup and screen labels recorded by Beamo and recent activity events from Firebase Analytics.
3. How we use information
We use information to create and authenticate accounts, deliver posts and conversations, connect friends, provide maps and discovery, calculate streaks, apply your settings, send verification and service messages, respond to support requests, investigate abuse, prevent unauthorized access, and understand and improve app reliability and usage.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, these activities rely on providing the service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting it, legal obligations, or your consent where required. Device permissions can be withdrawn in iOS Settings.
4. Who can see information
Your profile and content are visible according to the feature, audience, and settings involved. Public posts can be discovered by people beyond your friends; nearby discovery can surface eligible public posts. Location sharing can show your location to friends. Private messages and group content are delivered to their participants. Live typing preview can disclose text you later change or never send.
Recipients can save, screenshot, or share what they see. Changing visibility or deleting content cannot remove copies another person has independently kept. Beamo does not promise end-to-end encryption for messages.
Hosting, storage, email delivery, and other infrastructure providers process information needed to run Beamo. Apple handles Sign in with Apple, push notifications, maps, and Apple Music features you use; push delivery can include sender names and message previews. Google processes Firebase analytics, crash reports, and configuration information. Apple Music authorization and playback are subject to Apple’s settings and terms. See Apple’s Privacy Policy and Firebase’s privacy information.
We may disclose information when required by law, to address fraud or safety threats, or to protect people and the service. Service providers may process information in countries other than yours; applicable protections depend on the provider and the circumstances.
5. Your choices and rights
- Use Settings → Privacy to manage live typing previews, location sharing, nearby discovery, and blocked accounts.
- Use iOS Settings to control camera, microphone, location, notifications, and Apple Music access. Refusing permission can limit the relevant feature.
- Edit your profile and delete your own posts using the app’s available controls. You can report posts, comments, messages, or accounts from their menus.
- Contact abubakrzain666@gmail.com to request access, correction, a copy, deletion, or restriction/objection where available under your local law, or to ask about analytics choices. We may need to verify your identity. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
6. Retention, security, and deletion
We keep account information and content while needed to provide Beamo and maintain the service, subject to deletion controls. Security, support, and safety records may be kept where necessary to investigate incidents or meet legal obligations. This policy does not promise a fixed backup or log deletion period.
Google retains Crashlytics stack traces and associated identifiers for 90 days before it begins removing them from live and backup systems. See Firebase’s retention information.
To delete your account, open Settings → Account → Delete Account and complete password or Apple confirmation. Account deletion removes your profile and associated account records and content from the active service. Groups and content belonging to other members can remain. Reports can remain with account references removed; report details you wrote may still contain personal information. Media cleanup may not complete at the same time as record deletion, and recipient copies or device backups may remain.
Beamo caches messages and media on your device for performance and offline access. Signing out clears app-owned local account data; signing out or uninstalling the app does not delete your remote account. We use access controls and protected connections, but no system can guarantee absolute security.
7. Age and children
Beamo registration requires users to be at least 13. If a higher minimum age or parental authorization applies where you live, you must also meet those requirements. If you believe a child has provided information inappropriately, contact us so we can investigate and address it.
8. This website and updates
This information website has no accounts, forms, app connection, analytics scripts, or advertising cookies. The hosting service necessarily receives ordinary connection information, such as your IP address and requested page. Email links open your email application; sending email shares your message and sender information with us and the email providers involved.
We may update this policy as Beamo changes. We will publish the revised date here and provide additional notice where required.
