Privacy policy
Summary
- BeeLabs receives no content from your mail or calendars and no sign-in tokens. BeeLabs runs no server in the path of your content or tokens.
- Fidune reads your mail directly from Google or Microsoft, over TLS, and stores and processes it on your iPhone.
- AI runs on your iPhone with Apple's on-device model. Apple Private Cloud Compute is used only for features you turn on, after you consent.
- Nothing is sent on your behalf until you approve the exact message.
- You can disconnect an account or delete everything at any time from inside the app.
Who we are
The Fidune app is made by Fidune ("BeeLabs", "we"). In this policy, "the app" means the Fidune app for iPhone, and "this site" means the website you are reading. You do not create an account with BeeLabs to use the app.
What each destination sees
This table lists every place data from the app can go in this version, what it receives and what it can observe.
| Destination | What it receives | What it can observe |
|---|---|---|
| Your mail provider (Google or Microsoft) | Requests from your iPhone for your own mail; the messages you approved to send | Everything it already holds for your account, plus request metadata (for example time and IP address) |
| Apple Private Cloud Compute (only when you turn it on for a feature) | The text selected for one request, such as the extracted points of the messages in your brief | Apple says the data processed in Private Cloud Compute "is not stored or made accessible to Apple" and is "not retained". Apple may record request size, feature and duration, not linked to your Apple Account. See below. |
| This site (BeeLabs static host) | Nothing from you. The app and your browser only download files from it | Like any web server, the IP address and time of each download. Request logging is turned off. |
| BeeLabs (beta testers only) | An anonymous statistics export, only if you are a tester and choose to share it | Only what the export preview showed you |
| Your iPhone and iCloud backups | Fidune's files are excluded from backup; anything that is backed up is encrypted under a key that stays on your iPhone | Nothing readable |
Not in this version. The following destinations are planned for a later version and are not used by the beta: Apple Maps (travel time to meetings), Apple Weather, outside AI services you connect yourself (such as ChatGPT or Claude), your own Mac as a private server, sync between your devices through iCloud (CloudKit), and Apple Health data. Fidune does not make purchases through the App Store in the beta. Before any of these is added, this policy will be updated and the app will ask for your consent where needed.
Siri and Spotlight. Fidune does not give your content to Siri or Spotlight in the beta.
What stays on your iPhone, and for how long
When you connect an account, Fidune downloads the mail you select and stores it on your iPhone. Fidune then builds, on the phone, what it needs for the brief, triage, meeting prep, drafts and commitments.
How it is protected
- The database, its indexes, attachments, thumbnails, the widget snapshot and exports are encrypted by the app under a random key, in addition to iOS Data Protection.
- That key and your sign-in tokens are stored in the iPhone Keychain, on this device only. They are not included in iCloud Keychain and are not sent to BeeLabs.
- Connecting an account requires a device passcode.
- By default, Fidune prepares your brief overnight while the phone is locked and charging, so the data is readable by the app after you first unlock the phone after a restart. Strict mode (a setting) makes stored data unreadable to the app whenever the phone is locked, and turns overnight preparation off.
- Notifications use generic text only, such as "Your morning brief — open to update". Widgets hide private content when the phone is locked.
How long it is kept
- Mail: the last 30 days. Older mail is fetched from your provider when you ask for it and is not kept.
- Commitments: an open commitment keeps the sentence it came from (at most 300 characters) until you close it or 180 days pass.
- Correspondent list: for recipient checks, Fidune keeps a list of the addresses you exchange mail with, their display names and the first and last contact dates. It contains no message text.
- Writing style: Fidune keeps statistics about your sent mail (such as typical length, greeting and sign-off), not the messages.
- Activity log: a list on your iPhone of every Private Cloud Compute request (feature, approximate size, time) and every action Fidune carried out. You can view and export it.
You can delete any of this at any time (see How to manage and delete your data).
Apple Private Cloud Compute
Fidune uses Apple's on-device model by default. For some features, you can choose to also use Apple Private Cloud Compute, Apple's server-side model. It is off until you turn it on for a specific feature, and Fidune asks for your permission before the first use.
- When it is on, Fidune sends Apple only the text selected for that one request (for example, the extracted points of the messages in your brief, not your mailbox).
- Apple states that the data processed in Private Cloud Compute "is not stored or made accessible to Apple" and that results "are not retained by Private Cloud Compute". Apple's own terms apply: Apple Intelligence & Privacy.
- BeeLabs never receives these requests or their results.
- Each request is listed in the app's activity log, and you can turn the feature off again at any time.
Google user data and Limited Use
The use of information received from Google Workspace scopes will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
What Google data Fidune accesses
Fidune asks Google only for these permissions:
| Permission | Google's description | When it is requested | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
openid, email | Your Google Account identifier and email address | When you connect | To tell your accounts apart and show which one is connected |
gmail.readonly | "View your email messages and settings." | When you connect | To read the mail you select for the brief, triage, meeting prep, drafts and commitments |
gmail.send | "Send email on your behalf." | Only when you turn on sending for that account | To send a message after you approve it |
Fidune does not request gmail.modify. Archiving, read state and labels you set in Fidune stay inside Fidune and are not written back to Gmail. Google Calendar access is planned for the beta; the calendar permissions will be listed here before the app requests them.
How Fidune uses it
- Only to provide the features you see in the app: the morning brief, triage, meeting prep, reply drafts, commitments, and sending the messages you approve.
- Not for advertising, and never sold.
- Not used to develop, improve or train generalized AI or machine-learning models. The writing-style statistics Fidune builds stay on your iPhone and serve only you.
- No person at BeeLabs reads your Google data. BeeLabs has no copy to read.
Where it is stored
Only on your iPhone, encrypted by the app, for the periods in What stays on your iPhone. Your Google sign-in tokens are kept in the iPhone Keychain, on this device only. Google user data is not stored on any BeeLabs server.
Who it is shared with
- Google, which already holds your mail, receives the app's requests and the messages you approve to send.
- Apple Private Cloud Compute, only if you turn it on for a feature and consent, receives the text selected for each request, to produce a result shown to you. See Apple Private Cloud Compute.
- No one else. BeeLabs does not receive it. It is not transferred for any other purpose.
How to delete it
- Disconnect the Google account in Fidune: the app revokes its access at Google, deletes the tokens from the Keychain and deletes that account's mail and everything derived from it.
- Delete all in Fidune removes all stored data, keys, tokens, pending notifications and the activity log.
- You can also remove Fidune's access from your Google Account at any time, under third-party connections in your Google Account settings (myaccount.google.com/connections). Fidune then stops syncing and asks you to reconnect.
Microsoft accounts
Fidune works with Outlook.com and Microsoft 365 accounts through Microsoft Graph. It asks Microsoft only for these permissions:
| Permission | When it is requested | Why |
|---|---|---|
openid, email, User.Read | When you connect | To identify the connected account |
offline_access | When you connect | To stay connected without signing in again each time |
Mail.ReadWrite | When you connect | To read the mail you select, and to apply the changes you make in Fidune (for example marking a message read or moving it). Microsoft states this permission does not include sending mail. |
Mail.Send | Only when you turn on sending for that account | To send a message after you approve it |
Microsoft data is used, stored, shared and deleted in the same way as Google data above: only for the features you see, only on your iPhone, shared only with Microsoft and, if you turn it on, Apple Private Cloud Compute, and never with BeeLabs.
How to revoke Fidune's access at Microsoft
The app cannot revoke its own Microsoft sign-in from the phone, so Disconnect in Fidune deletes the tokens and the account's data from your iPhone, and you can revoke the permission you granted at Microsoft at any time:
- Personal Microsoft accounts (Outlook.com, Hotmail): account.live.com/consent/Manage
- Work or school accounts: myapps.microsoft.com. If your organization's administrator approved Fidune for everyone, only the administrator can remove that approval.
How to manage and delete your data
Everything Fidune stores is on your iPhone, so you control it from the app:
- See what is connected: the privacy screen in Settings lists each connected account and the permissions it holds, the mail selected for sync, whether Private Cloud Compute is on, and overnight or Strict mode.
- Choose what is synced: select the accounts and folders or labels Fidune may read. Nothing outside your selection is stored.
- See what left the phone: the activity log lists every Private Cloud Compute request and every action Fidune carried out.
- Disconnect an account: removes its tokens and all of its data. For Google accounts it also revokes Fidune's access at Google.
- Delete all: removes every stored item, key, token, pending notification and the activity log.
- Export: exports are protected with a passphrase by default. An unencrypted export needs a second confirmation. Once you share an export, it is outside Fidune's control.
Use Delete all before you delete the app. Deleting the app removes its files, but iOS may keep some Keychain items after an app is deleted.
What BeeLabs receives
- From the app: nothing, except the anonymous statistics export below. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs in the app, and metrics are counted on your iPhone. Crash and diagnostic reports reach BeeLabs only through Apple's own opt-in channels, if you have turned them on in iOS.
- Beta statistics export: during the beta, the app offers on days 14 and 28 to share an anonymous statistics export (for example how often the brief was opened, how many drafts were generated, how many were edited). You see every field before you share it, and you choose whether and how to send it. It contains no mail, names or addresses.
- From this site: nothing. There are no cookies, scripts or analytics, and request logging is turned off.
- If you email us: we receive your message and email address and use them only to reply.
Security
Fidune keeps tokens and keys in the iPhone Keychain, encrypts what it stores, contacts only the hosts listed on How it works, and requires your approval for every message it sends. No system is perfectly secure; if you believe you have found a security problem, contact us at the address below.
Children
Fidune is a work tool for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because BeeLabs receives no content from the app, we hold no such information.
Changes to this policy
We will post any change on this page with a new date. If a change would let Fidune access or use your data in a way this policy does not describe, the app will ask for your consent before it does.
