Beacon Privacy Policy

Last updated 6 August 2026

Beacon lets you monitor and control the Claude Code sessions running on your own computers from your iPhone. This policy explains what Beacon does and does not do with your information. Beacon is made by Harvey Creative LLC.

The short version

Beacon is designed so that we never see your data. Everything you send between your iPhone and your Mac is end-to-end encrypted; our relay server only forwards sealed bytes it cannot read. We do not sell your data, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not track you across apps or websites.

What Beacon handles

• Your sessions and messages. The commands, replies, terminal output, dictated text, and attachments you exchange travel end-to-end encrypted between your iPhone and your Mac. Only your devices hold the keys. They are not stored on our servers in readable form and are not used for any purpose other than delivering them between your devices.
• Pairing keys. Beacon stores the cryptographic keys that pair your phone with your computers on the devices themselves, so they can recognize each other.
• Push notifications. To alert you when a session needs input or finishes, your device's Apple push token is used to route a notification through Apple's Push Notification service. The notification is triggered by your own Mac; the token is used only to deliver these alerts.
• Dictation. When you dictate a message, the audio is transcribed to text on your device. The audio is not sent to us.

What Beacon does not do

• No advertising, and no data used for advertising.
• No third-party analytics or cross-app/cross-site tracking.
• No selling or sharing of your personal data with data brokers.

Third parties

Beacon relies on Apple's Push Notification service to deliver alerts and on a relay server operated on our behalf that forwards only encrypted, unreadable data between your devices. Your Claude Code sessions interact with Anthropic's Claude under Anthropic's own terms; Beacon simply mirrors those sessions to your phone.

Data retention

Because your content is end-to-end encrypted and not stored by us in readable form, there is nothing for us to retain or delete on your behalf. Removing the app and unpairing your devices removes the local keys and data on those devices.

Children

Beacon is a developer tool intended for adults and is not directed to children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above.
