Tiny Beacon

Principles

Six stances with teeth.

Every decision we make runs through these. Signed by the founders.

  1. 01We never sell data.

    Our only revenue will ever be subscriptions, paid through the App Store. There is no data business and there will not be one.

  2. 02Your child sees what you see.

    Every alert you receive is also visible to the child it concerns. No one-way mirrors.

  3. 03The public app does not collect screen content.

    Screen-content understanding is available only in separately contracted supervised editions.

  4. 04Consent is revocable in one tap.

    Revoke and collection stops immediately, and that child's retained data is deleted right away. Otherwise you choose how long Tiny Beacon keeps each child's data: 30 days by default, adjustable per child. In supervised editions, threat-flagged captures are kept only while needed and deleted automatically when they expire.

  5. 05We surface reasoning, not scores.

    In supervised editions, families receive a plain-English explanation rather than a score without context.

  6. 06On-device analysis is the goal.

    Screen content stays out of the public app. For supervised editions, we will move understanding on-device when the technology makes that practical.
