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.
In one glance
- Who can read the record
- The family's parent accounts. Enforced by the database.
- Who else
- Only someone holding a link you made, until it ends.
- Advertising and trackers
- None.
- Leaving
- A full export, in a file that needs no app.
Where the record lives
One row per entry, readable by your family only.
The record
Feeds, diapers, sleep, weight, temperature, medicine, notes, documents, photos, names, dates and emergency information are stored as one database row per entry. Only the family's parent accounts can read those rows. The database enforces that itself, not the app's screens.
The app runs on Vercel. The database is Postgres, hosted by Supabase.
The one exception: links
A sitter or clinician link opens a limited view without an account. Every link expires, the longest after 30 days, and you can end any link at once from the Report screen. Shared pages ask search engines not to index them.
Never
Promises, written where you can hold us to them.
No advertising
No ads, no ad SDKs, no behavioural targeting.
No selling or sharing
No selling, sharing or brokering family data. Ever, at any price.
No third-party trackers
No outside tracker ever receives the contents of a care record.
No AI training
No training on a baby's records, and no care data sent to any model provider.
No care values in logs
Nothing about what was logged appears in analytics events, crash reports or server logs.
No trapped records
No feature is ever put behind a payment in a way that traps your records. Export and backup stay free and complete.
The rest, briefly
What is measured, how you leave, and this website.
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 noticed rather than silent.
Leaving
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.
This website
No analytics, no cookies. One value is kept in your browser: your Day, Night or Auto choice. The Jost typeface is requested from Google Fonts when you are online; offline, your system font is used. Nothing about your visit is sent anywhere.
Beckaby is not a medical device. It records what a parent or caregiver entered and does arithmetic on it. Every report is labelled parent-entered tracking data.
