Summary

BeforeYouTrust does not require an account and does not include advertising, tracking, or analytics SDKs. It stores certain information locally on your device so the app can work. When you choose to run a message check after giving the in-app consent, the text you chose to review is sent to TypeSafe’s service through api.typesafe.pro for analysis. Screenshots are converted to text on your device and the image itself is not sent for analysis.

Please do not submit passwords, card numbers, authentication codes, government identifiers, private health information, or other sensitive information unless you are authorised to share it and accept this processing.

Who is responsible

Digital Pulse d.o.o. is responsible for the processing described in this policy. Contact us at hello@digitalpulsedoo.com with questions or requests about privacy.

Information stored on your device

The app keeps the following information on the device where you use it:

Drafts and history are local to your device. The app does not use an app account or CloudKit to synchronise them, and its sensitive local files are marked to be excluded from device backup. Local data can be removed using the history and draft controls in the app, by disabling or clearing history, by discarding a shared import, or by deleting the app and its data. iOS and your device backup settings may affect other app preferences or system-level copies outside the app’s control.

Screenshots, OCR and sharing

If you choose a screenshot or share one to BeforeYouTrust, text recognition uses Apple’s on-device Vision framework. The app sends the recognised text only when you later tap Check message and have given consent. It does not upload the original image to TypeSafe for analysis. A shared image may be held locally while you decide whether to import it; it is not kept in history.

The Share Extension does not start an analysis by itself. Links are read as text only: the app does not open, visit, resolve, or check the reputation of a link.

What is sent when you run a check

After you give the specific in-app consent and select Check message, the app sends the text you are reviewing and short excerpts derived from that text to https://api.typesafe.pro/v1/systemone. The analysis uses TypeSafe’s Jev service to return typed risk judgments and evidence selections.

The app does not send an account name, login, device identifier, local history, consent record, original screenshot, or the image’s bytes as part of this request. As with any internet service, TypeSafe and network providers can receive connection information such as your IP address, request time, and technical information needed to operate and secure the service.

The app communicates directly with this service; it does not operate its own analysis server or transmit message content to Digital Pulse d.o.o.’s separate backend. A request already received by a provider cannot be withdrawn by cancelling the app’s display of the result or clearing local app data.

Why we process it

We process the text you voluntarily submit to provide the message-review result you request. We process local settings, drafts and history to provide the app’s features. If you email us, we use your email address and message to answer and resolve your request.

Where applicable, our legal basis is performance of the service you request; we may also process limited information for our legitimate interests in running, securing, and supporting the app, and where required to meet a legal obligation. The app does not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

BeforeYouTrust is a decision-support tool, not a sender-verification, fraud investigation, credit, employment, insurance, or other automated decision service. Its output is not a guarantee and does not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you.

TypeSafe and international processing

TypeSafe AI, Inc. processes submitted text to provide the analysis. Its published policy states that it does not train or fine-tune AI or machine learning models on submitted inputs. It also states that it may process input, technical information, and service telemetry to provide, secure, and operate its services, and that its services are hosted in the United States. Its policy does not provide a fixed retention period for every API request; do not treat the app as a zero-retention service.

Read TypeSafe’s Privacy Policy, Master Customer Agreement, and Data Processing Addendum for its current terms and international-transfer information. Those documents describe TypeSafe’s processing and can change independently of this policy.

Apple processes any app download, device backup, and (where applicable) TestFlight activity under its own policies. Any link you choose to open is governed by the destination site’s privacy policy.

Retention

The app uses the local retention periods stated above: current drafts and pending shared imports expire after up to 24 hours, and saved history expires after up to 30 days. Expired records are cleaned up when the app accesses the relevant store; iOS does not guarantee that cleanup will run at the exact expiry time if the app is never opened. You can remove local records sooner using the app’s controls.

We retain support correspondence only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, manage related issues, and meet legal obligations. TypeSafe and other providers apply their own retention periods; Digital Pulse d.o.o. cannot delete provider records through the app.

Your choices and rights

You can use the app without submitting a check. Do not tap Check message if you do not want the current text sent to TypeSafe. You can delete a draft, disable or clear local history, and discard shared imports from the app.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or to object to certain processing. Contact hello@digitalpulsedoo.com to make a request. To reduce exposure, include an approximate request time and do not resend sensitive message content unless we ask for it securely. Because the app has no account or server-side message history, we may be unable to identify a particular provider request. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Children

BeforeYouTrust is not directed to children. TypeSafe’s published policy says its services are not directed to people under 18. Do not submit a child’s personal information through the app. Contact us if you believe it has been provided so we can consider appropriate next steps.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app or its service providers change. We will publish the updated version here and revise the effective date. The current version is also intended to be linked from the app’s Settings screen.
