Identity of the Operator and Scope
RR AI Labs Pvt. Ltd., India operates BeAnon and determines the purposes and manner in which personal data is processed. This Privacy Policy applies to this website and the planned BeAnon application. The term “anonymous” refers to the default concealment of your public identity from another participant; it does not imply that BeAnon collects or retains no personal data.
Service availability. BeAnon is preparing for launch. The provisions relating to the application describe the service intended to be provided at launch. Features and availability may differ by platform. Verified download links will be published on this website.
Website Data Processing
This informational website is hosted on Google Firebase Hosting. Requests to access the website may disclose your IP address, browser information, requested URL and timestamps to the hosting provider for service delivery and security purposes. We do not sell personal information or use advertising profiles. Selecting an email link opens your email application; it neither submits a request nor confirms receipt. External websites and application stores are governed by their respective policies.
Optional website analytics
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity are loaded only when you select “Accept analytics” in the privacy control. These services help us understand aggregated visits, website usage, device and browser information, and interactions for the purpose of improving the website. They are not loaded if you select “No thanks.” You may withdraw your choice through “Privacy settings,” after which the page reloads with analytics disabled. Please refer to Google’s privacy policy and Microsoft’s privacy statement.
Planned Application Data and Processing Purposes
- Account and preferences: a pseudonymous account ID, an application or device-linked identifier, age eligibility, display choices, interests, friend connections and settings, processed to administer the account and matching functionality.
- Messages and media: content you submit and chat-state information, stored on BeAnon’s servers to deliver conversations and maintain chat history. Retained history may be accessed following successful recovery of the same account. Ending an anonymous chat stops messaging and access to shared media. Where the ended chat remains in your list, saved text may remain available in read-only form for reporting purposes. Account recovery does not restore revoked media, messages deleted for both participants, or deleted or consumed view-once media. Content you voluntarily share may disclose personal or sensitive information.
- Account recovery: if you elect to link a Google account, the sign-in identifier and basic account information supplied by Google are used solely to verify ownership of an existing BeAnon account and restore access to it. This information is not displayed to chat partners. BeAnon does not access your Gmail messages, contacts or photos. Recovery is not guaranteed and remains subject to verification before launch.
- Technical information: IP address, device manufacturer and model, operating-system and application versions, processor architecture, screen size and density, memory class, low-memory status, language, text-size category and light or dark display mode, together with timestamps, delivery data, diagnostics and security logs. This information is used to reproduce device-specific compatibility, layout and performance issues and to secure the service. A support email draft includes the device model, Android version and application version, which you may review, amend or remove before sending.
- Safety and support: reports, relevant message context, enforcement history and correspondence, processed to address complaints and prevent abuse.
- Notifications and purchases: push tokens, delivery metadata, transaction references and subscription status, where enabled. Apple or Google processes payments made through its respective store; BeAnon does not directly receive your complete payment-card details.
- Consent records: policy acceptance, permission choices and withdrawal requests, maintained to honour your settings and document your decisions.
BeAnon’s policy is not to sell personal data or use it for advertising profiles. The planned default account process does not require a real name, phone number, Aadhaar number or contact list. Do not disclose sensitive identity, financial or health information in conversations.
Consent, Choices and Permissions
Where consent is required, we will identify the relevant data and processing purpose before collection and request an affirmative choice. Acceptance of the Terms or continued browsing does not constitute consent to optional processing. You may withdraw optional consent through the relevant setting or by emailing support@beanon.app. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing or mandatory retention obligations. A feature may cease to function where it depends on the relevant data.
Camera, microphone, media and notification permissions are optional and relate to the corresponding feature. A device permission does not, by itself, explain every use of data; the application must also disclose any additional processing.
Camera, Voice and Augmented Reality Features
Before you use a camera or microphone feature, we will explain which information is processed on your device, which information is transmitted and which providers receive it. Selfie filters offer partial facial concealment, allowing you to choose whether to reveal your identity. They do not conceal your face completely, guarantee anonymity or prevent identification. A filtered selfie does not verify identity or age. You should not assume that a filter conceals every camera frame, that facial data is never processed or that media cannot identify you. Before the feature becomes available, we will publish whether original selfies, filtered images or both are stored, together with the applicable processing methods and retention periods.
Communications, Security and Safety Review
BeAnon does not currently provide end-to-end encryption. Transport security protects data in transit between devices and services; it does not render stored messages inaccessible to the operator. Authorised personnel and service providers may access content where necessary for delivery, support, report handling, safety or legal obligations.
We will apply access controls, secure transport and proportionate safeguards to protect the service. No system can guarantee absolute security. Relevant safety evidence may be retained after a conversation ends. Other users may retain copies outside BeAnon, even where capture controls are available.
Recipients and International Processing
Google provides website hosting and, where you opt in, analytics services. In production application releases, Firebase Crashlytics receives crash traces, an installation identifier, and device, operating-system and application metadata, including the device model, to diagnose stability issues. BeAnon does not include the device model in product-analytics events, chat or matching. Following sign-in, the application transmits a limited account-linked support profile comprising the phone region country code, manufacturer and model, Android and application versions, screen category and low-memory status, together with first-seen and last-seen timestamps. Push availability is derived from active notification registration. This profile excludes precise location, IP history, Android or installation ID, user-assigned device name, contacts, messages and media. Other necessary application-provider categories include hosting and storage, authentication, push delivery, support and store billing. We will publish the remaining provider names, relevant data uses and processing locations before launch. Depending on the providers concerned, processing may occur outside India.
We will disclose only the information necessary for the stated purpose, subject to appropriate restrictions and safeguards. Disclosure may also be required pursuant to valid legal process, child-protection obligations or an urgent threat to safety, as permitted by law. Any business transfer must respect applicable privacy obligations. International processing must comply with applicable transfer restrictions and safeguards.
Data Retention and Deletion
- Account, profile, preferences, friend connections, sign-in associations, sessions, notification tokens and ordinary chat or media data: retained for as long as necessary to provide the account and chat service. In Android test builds, an in-app deletion request initiates a 14-day pending period, during which normal account use is unavailable. To retain the account, you must return before the deadline, verify ownership and expressly select “Cancel account deletion.” Opening the application, signing in, recovering access or contacting support does not cancel the request. If the request is not cancelled, the account and its chat history are permanently deleted and cannot be restored or reactivated, including by support. Limited records may be retained only under the exceptions set out below and cannot be used to restore the account.
- Backups: managed separately from deletion in active systems. Deleted data may remain in backups until their expiry, which may occur after the pending period ends. The backup expiry period has not yet been determined; we will publish it on Delete your data before launch. Backups are restricted to disaster recovery. If a backup is restored, we intend to reapply completed deletions.
- Mandatory records: under the IT Rules, 2021, information collected at registration is retained for 180 days following cancellation of an account. Content removed following a complaint, legal notice or rule violation, together with associated records, is preserved for 180 days, or longer where lawfully required. These requirements do not establish a general obligation to retain every conversation.
- Security logs: applicable CERT-In directions require a rolling 180-day log history to be maintained within India.
- Safety evidence, disputes and purchases: we will retain only those records necessary for a specific investigation, legal hold, claim or statutory tax and accounting obligation, until the relevant need or obligation ends. Access will be restricted. Such records cannot reactivate or restore a deleted account, and their retention does not extinguish your applicable statutory data rights.
These periods reflect our intended launch arrangements. We are confirming with legal advisers how each retention requirement applies to BeAnon. Any shorter period required by law takes precedence. The final retention schedule will be confirmed before the application becomes available.
Refer to Delete your data for the planned in-app procedure, pending period and limitations on deletion. Account deletion is requested within the application, not by email. Uninstalling the application, logging out or cancelling a subscription does not constitute a deletion request. Uninstallation alone does not delete your account or server-stored chat history. Irreversibly anonymised statistics may be retained; a reversible identifier does not constitute anonymisation.
Age Restrictions
BeAnon is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. Individuals below this age must not create an account. We will restrict and review accounts suspected of belonging to minors and delete their data unless a specific legal or child-safety preservation obligation requires otherwise. Concerns should be reported through our child-safety process.
Privacy Requests and Applicable Law
You may enquire about your data, request correction or withdraw optional consent by emailing support@beanon.app. Account deletion is requested within the application. Unresolved concerns may be escalated to grievance@beanon.app. We may request proportionate evidence of account ownership. Do not provide passwords, one-time passwords or Aadhaar documents. If we cannot locate your account, we will explain what additional information may assist identification.
India’s Information Technology Act and applicable rules, including the SPDI Rules, 2011, remain relevant during the transition to the DPDP framework. The DPDP Act, 2023 and Rules, 2025 commence in phases. As of this page’s date, core processing obligations and statutory rights of access, correction, erasure and nomination under the DPDP Act are scheduled for the 18-month phase following Gazette publication in November 2025. They are not represented here as already fully enforceable. Please refer to the commencement notification. Applicable rights and remedies remain available as their respective provisions enter into force.
Individuals in other jurisdictions may have additional rights, including restriction of processing, objection, portability and the right to complain to a competent data-protection authority. We do not discriminate against individuals for exercising applicable rights.
Security Incident Response
We will promptly assess security incidents, report incidents covered by CERT-In directions within the applicable six-hour deadline, and notify affected individuals and other authorities where required by the law in force. The CERT-In directions and future applicable DPDP breach-notification requirements constitute separate obligations.
Contact and Grievance Redressal
BeAnon is operated by RR AI Labs Pvt. Ltd., India.
- support@beanon.app: guidance on account access, technical issues, billing and privacy enquiries. Account deletion is requested within the application, not by email.
- grievance@beanon.app: reports concerning abuse or child safety, formal complaints, appeals and unresolved concerns.
M. Lakshman Kumar is the Grievance Officer. Urgent safety matters should be referred directly to the appropriate authorities.
For content-related grievances, refer to the complaint deadlines and appeal route. Privacy complaints will be addressed within applicable legal time limits. Where more than one deadline applies, the shorter applicable period takes precedence.
Amendments to this Policy
We will revise the date of this Policy when it changes, explain material amendments before they take effect and obtain fresh consent where required for a new processing purpose. Continued use of BeAnon does not substitute for that consent. The launch Policy will confirm actual application data flows, service providers, storage locations and retention arrangements.
