BeadApp Privacy Policy

Effective October 28, 2026 · version 1.4

This Privacy Policy explains how Korfi LLC, doing business as Korfi ("we", "us", "our"), handles information in connection with BeadApp (the "Service").

What We Collect

• Account data — your email address and, if provided, your name, display name, and profile photo.
• Profile details you choose to add — for example a bio, location, contact email and social links.
• Content you create — the patterns, designs, images, and project metadata you save or share through the Service, plus photos you add, such as photos you import, receipt photos and photos of finished pieces.
• Voice notes — if you record a voice note, the audio is sent to OpenAI to be turned into text. The microphone is used only while you record. We do not keep the recording: it is sent for transcription and discarded, and we store only the resulting text if you save it.
• Purchases — which plan or in-app purchases you have. Your card or payment details are handled by Apple, Google or Stripe, never by us.
• Bug reports — if you send one, your name, email, description and any screenshot you attach.
• Usage data — basic technical and analytics information generated as you use the Service (for example, which features you use and error logs), used to operate and improve the Service.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service; to provide cloud sync and account features; and as otherwise described in our Terms of Use. Your Content is also subject to the license described in the Terms of Use.

We do not use your patterns, designs, images, or other Creator Content, whether private or published, to train artificial-intelligence models. Processing Content to provide the Design Assistant or Realistic Preview is distinct from using it to train a model. Any future proposal to use previously submitted Content for training would require separate, affirmative agreement to that use.

Session Recordings (Microsoft Clarity)

On the BeadApp website at beadapp.io we use Microsoft Clarity, a free analytics tool from Microsoft, to record how people use the app (for example clicks, scrolling and which screens are open) so we can find and fix confusing parts. Text you type into fields, your email address and your name are masked and are not visible in recordings. We do not send your account ID, email or name to Clarity. Microsoft processes this data on our behalf under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Clarity runs only on the beadapp.io website. It never runs, and nothing is recorded, in the BeadApp iOS or Android app.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask first and record only if you choose Allow. Elsewhere, recording is on unless you turn it off. You can change your choice at any time: open Profile Settings and use the Session recordings switch, or use Session recordings in the Help menu.

How Your Information Is Stored

Account data and saved Content are stored using Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore and Cloud Storage), which runs on Google Cloud. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share information only with the service providers below, which process it on our behalf to run the Service, and as required by law.

Service Providers We Use

• Google (Firebase and Google Cloud) — sign-in, database, file storage and the server code behind the Service.
• Google Gemini — the Design Assistant and Realistic Preview send the design or photo you are working on to Google's Gemini models to produce a result.
• OpenAI — some Design Assistant and Realistic Preview requests, and voice notes you choose to record (the audio is sent for transcription), are sent to OpenAI's models to produce a result.
• Anthropic — some Design Assistant requests are sent to Anthropic's Claude models to produce a result.
• Stripe — payments, subscriptions and seller payouts on the website. Card details go straight to Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
• RevenueCat — manages in-app purchases and subscriptions in the iOS and Android app. It receives your BeadApp account ID and your purchase status.
• Apple App Store and Google Play — process in-app purchases made in the iOS and Android app, under their own terms and privacy policies. We receive confirmation of the purchase, not your card details.
• Google reCAPTCHA and Firebase App Check — protect sign-in and the Service from abuse and bots. Where enabled, they read device and browser signals and are subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
• Resend — sends account and service emails, such as replies to bug reports and check-in emails.
• Microsoft Clarity — session recordings on the beadapp.io website only, as described above.

These providers may only use your information to provide their service to us. As stated above, none of them may use your Content to train their models on our behalf.

Your Choices

Delete your account in the app. Sign in, open Profile Settings, scroll to Delete account, press Delete…, type DELETE and press Permanently delete. This removes your sign-in, profile, saved patterns, listing photos and the other data linked to your account straight away. If you sold patterns, buyers keep the charts they paid for, with your name removed. Copies may remain in routine system backups for a limited time until they are overwritten. Step-by-step instructions, and the short list of records we keep, are on the Delete your account page, which you can read without signing in.

Or ask us by email. If you cannot sign in, email hello@korfi.io from the address on your account and we will delete it for you. You may also ask us for access to, or correction of, your personal data at the same address. We will respond within a reasonable time, subject to any legal retention obligations.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the version number and effective date above.
