Bee builds a multi-layered privacy protection system from hardware to software:
Hardware level:
- Equipped with a physical mute button that cuts power to the microphone at the touch of a button (red indicator light visible), ensuring that recording can be terminated immediately in any situation
- Adopting local pre-processing technology, uploading encrypted data only after the initial voice feature extraction is completed on the device side.
Data management:
- Strict adherence to the "no audio" principle, whereby the original recording is deleted as soon as it is converted to text
- All text data is stored in AES-256 encrypted format on AWS servers in Virginia, USA
- Provide data lifecycle management, users can delete a single record or clear all history at any time
Permission Control:
- Least privilege principle, access to sensitive information such as contacts/calendars needs to be confirmed twice.
- 7-day cooling-off period, new users can delete all data unconditionally and get a refund
- Upon subscription cancellation, the system will automatically and permanently delete the data associated with the account within 30 days.
Transparency guarantees:
- The official website discloses the data flow chart, clearly labeling the data processing method of each link
- Quarterly transparency report to disclose government data requests
- ISO 27001 information security certification and regular third-party security auditing
Notably, Bee's privacy policy explicitly states that it does not sell or share user data to advertisers, and all AI training uses de-identified aggregated data. 用户可通过hi@bee.computer邮箱随时导出个人数据或咨询隐私相关问题.
