Privacy Policy
This is what Betalaunch collects when you use the app and the site, what it is used for, who else sees it, and what you can do about it. Short version: your apps and their data are yours; we use what we hold to run the Service and for nothing else; we do not sell it.
What we collect
- Account. Your email address, name and profile photo when you sign in with Google, or your email address and a name you choose when you sign up with a password. Passwords are held by Firebase Authentication, not by us in plain text.
- What you build and enter. Your app descriptions and the apps built from them, and the records, photos, voice clips, messages and other content you put into those apps. Records you create are stamped with your account id, name and photo so that apps used together can show who wrote what.
- Sharing. The email address of a person you invite, and — if they join — their account id, name and photo on the app’s member list. If someone declines and blocks you, your email address is kept on their block list.
- Home Screen icons. A key that lets an icon sign in as you on your own device. We note which apps you added and when their icon was last opened.
- Device permissions. Camera, photos, microphone, location, contacts and notifications are used only for the feature you asked for, only after iOS asks you and you allow. Photos and voice clips you add are uploaded to your app’s storage; a location you pick is stored on the record you put it on. We do not read your device’s contacts or calendar in the background.
- Website waitlist. If you leave your email on betalaunch.app we store it, once, to tell you when the app is available. Nothing else.
- Technical. Ordinary server logs (requests, errors, timings) and, if you allow notifications, a token to deliver them.
How it is used
- To run the Service: store your apps and data, sync them to your devices, and show them to people you share with.
- To build and change your apps: your descriptions (and any sketch, screenshot or spreadsheet you attach) are sent to machine-learning models to produce the app. Instructions and inputs of AI features inside your apps are processed the same way when you use them.
- To keep the Service safe: descriptions are screened for content we do not allow, and violations are recorded against the account.
- To tell you things you asked to be told: a build finishing, an invitation, the launch email if you joined the waitlist.
We do not sell your data, and we do not use your apps or their content to advertise to you.
Who else sees it
- Google Firebase (Google LLC) hosts the Service: authentication, database, file storage, functions and hosting. Data is stored on Google Cloud, in the United States.
- Google Gemini models process your descriptions, attachments and in-app AI inputs to build apps and produce AI features. We send what is needed for the request and nothing else.
- People you share with see what the app you shared shows them.
- Apple handles App Store purchases under its own terms, if any.
We disclose data otherwise only if the law requires it or to protect the Service and its users.
How long we keep it
For as long as your account exists. Deleting an app deletes its records and files; leaving a shared app removes you from it. Files no longer referenced by any record are removed periodically. Server logs are kept for a limited time. Records of content violations are kept for the life of the account.
Your choices
- Delete any app, or leave any shared app, from inside Betalaunch.
- Remove Home Screen icons from the icon or from Settings › General › VPN & Device Management.
- Turn device permissions off in iOS Settings at any time.
- Unblock senders in Betalaunch’s Settings.
- Ask for a copy of your data or deletion of your account and everything in it via the discussion group or the contact address in the app; we will act on it within a reasonable time.
Children
Betalaunch is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will show it in the app or on the site before it takes effect.
