Privacy

What Beckaby stores, and what it will never do with it.

A description of how the app is built, not a policy. Each line matches something enforced in the code or the database.

Where the record lives

One row per entry, readable by the family.

Feeds, diapers, sleep, weight, temperature, notes, documents, photos, names, dates and emergency information are stored as one database row per entry. Those rows can be read only by the family's parent accounts. The database enforces that itself, with row-level security, rather than leaving it to the app's screens.

The app runs on Vercel. The database is Postgres, hosted by Supabase.

The one exception

Links, which are scoped and end.

A sitter or clinician link opens a limited view without an account. Every link expires, the longest after 30 days, and parents can end any link at once from the Report screen. Shared pages are marked so that search engines do not index them.

Never

Constraints on future work, written where you can hold us to them.

  • No advertising, no ad SDKs, no behavioural targeting.
  • No selling, sharing or brokering family data. Ever, at any price.
  • No third-party tracker receives the contents of a care record.
  • No AI training on a baby's records, and no care data sent to any model provider.
  • No care values in analytics events, crash reports or server logs.
  • No feature is ever put behind a payment in a way that traps your records. Export and backup stay free and complete.

What is measured

Only what keeps the app working.

Whether a request failed, how long it took, the app version, a generic crash code. Never what was being logged when it happened. A feed that fails to save has to be discoverable rather than silent; that is the whole reason this category exists.

Leaving

A file you already have.

Backup and export give you every row in a format that does not need this app to read. That is what ownership means here: not a promise about intent, but a file on your own computer.

No analytics, no cookies.

This site keeps one value in your browser's local storage: your Day, Night or Auto choice. The Jost typeface is requested from Google Fonts when you are online; offline, your system font is used instead. Nothing else is loaded from a third party, and nothing about your visit is sent anywhere.

Beckaby is not a medical device. It records what a parent or caregiver entered and computes arithmetic on it. Every report is labelled parent-entered tracking data.
