Privacy Overview
Beenli is a family ritual first — and a careful data product second.
This page is a plain-language overview of how Beenli thinks about your family's information while we're in early access. It is not yet a full legal privacy policy. Our goal is to be honest about what we're building toward and clear about what we want to avoid.
In plain language: what Beenli is trying to do
Beenli started as a tool for our own family. We want other parents to feel comfortable bringing it into their homes. That means being thoughtful about what we collect, how we use it, and what we choose not to do.
What we expect to collect
- Basic account details for the adult who owns the hive (e.g. email, login info).
- Family task history, goals, and Honey Jar balances.
- High-level technical information (like device type, approximate region, and logs) to keep the service reliable and secure.
What we want to avoid
- Collecting more data than we need to run and improve Beenli.
- Sharing kids' activity data with advertisers or data brokers.
- Storing sensitive information we can't clearly justify or protect.
Future full policy
Below is a scaffold for the more formal privacy policy we plan to publish as Beenli grows. It doesn't replace a legal policy, but it shows you the areas we're actively designing and thinking about.
1. Information we aim to collect
A full policy will describe in detail which types of information we collect about the adult account owner and the family hive. This may include login identifiers, task entries, goal settings, and high-level usage patterns. Beenli is intentionally designed around household activity rather than building deep profiles on individual children.
2. How we expect to use that data
This section will eventually describe how we use your data to power features like task history, Honey Jar balances, and gentle insights about family habits. Our intent is to keep data use tightly connected to the experience inside Beenli — not to build external advertising profiles or sell your information.
3. How long we plan to keep it
Over time, this section will tie into our database and backup procedures to explain how long we retain records, when they are anonymized or deleted, and how backups are handled. Our goal is to keep only as much history as is genuinely helpful for families and for the stability of the service.
4. Third-party services
Beenli relies on trusted providers for things like authentication, billing, and hosting — for example, Clerk for sign-in, Stripe for payments, and Neon for the database. A future version of this policy will list these providers clearly, explain what they do, and link to their own privacy policies so you can see how data flows between systems.
5. Your choices and rights
A mature privacy policy will also explain how you can request access to your data, ask us to delete it, or correct inaccuracies, and how to exercise any rights you may have under your local laws. Until then, you can always email hello@beenli.com with privacy questions, and we'll respond as thoughtfully and promptly as we can.
6. Updates to this page
As Beenli's features and responsibilities expand, this page will be updated to reflect those changes. When we publish a full legal privacy policy, we'll make that clear at the top of this page and keep both the plain-language summary and the detailed legal text available side by side.
