The Bee implements multiple layers of privacy protection when recording sensitive user conversations. The device is designed with a physical mute button that allows the user to instantly cut off the recording function (the indicator light turns red), which provides the most direct form of privacy control. All recorded data is converted to text only and stored; the original audio is not saved.
In terms of technical architecture, transcription data is stored on secure servers within the United States, following strict privacy compliance standards. Users can delete single or full history records at any time via the app and customize the scope of data collection (e.g. whether to allow access to email/calendar).
Compared to other voice assistants, Bee has special protections: no original recordings are stored on the device side; data is processed on a "need-to-know" basis; and users have full deletion rights. These measures make it particularly suitable for recording sensitive scenarios such as business meetings or private conversations.
