How we think about the information you trust us with.
We started Bear & Eddy to build things that genuinely help people. That only works if people can trust us. So here's how we think about your data — not the legal version, just the honest one.
Every time we build something, we start with the same question: do we actually need this? If the answer isn't a clear yes, we don't collect it. Some of our apps store everything on your device and never send it anywhere. Others need a bit more to work — like syncing between teammates — but we only keep what the product genuinely requires to function.
We don't sell your information. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't mine it for insights to package up and hand to someone else. If you ever want to leave, you can take your data with you or ask us to delete it.
For apps that deal with personal, sensitive things — your health, your habits, your goals — we designed them so that data lives on your device. Not on our servers. Not in some cloud we'd have to worry about securing. Just on your phone, under your control.
Sometimes data needs to travel — to sync with your team, to process a request, or to talk to a third-party service. When that happens, it's encrypted in transit and at rest. We're upfront about which services we use and why. No surprises.
We don't treat security as a checkbox. It's part of how we design from day one — access controls, encryption, input validation, regular audits. It's not glamorous work, but it's the kind of work that matters when someone is trusting you with their information.
Each of our products has its own detailed privacy policy that covers the specifics — what's collected, how it's stored, and who can access it. But across everything we build, the philosophy is the same: your data is yours, we're just looking after it for a while.
