Bewie Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Bewie is an app by UltraRanger Labs (Roger Vallejo Balbuena, Spain) where a character, Bewie, turns into small apps and games (lists, scoreboards, timers, games) that you ask for in your own words. This policy explains what data it uses and where that data stays.

What we store, and where

What you write to Bewie, the transformations you create and what you note down in them are stored only on your phone, in the app's storage. We have no servers that receive them, we cannot see them, and we do not send them to anyone. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes them.

No accounts, no ads, no analytics

Bewie does not ask you to sign up, shows no ads, and uses no tracking or analytics tools on how you use it. The only things that leave for statistics are the purchase records (below, Buying slots) and ML Kit's diagnostics (below, What comes from the internet).

Buying slots

If you buy a slot for your collection, the purchase is made by Google Play with your Google account: we never see your card or payment details. To check that the purchase is genuine, to give you back what you bought if you reinstall the app and to keep track of sales, Bewie uses RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc., United States), which handles that data on our behalf and only for that. When the app opens, Bewie asks RevenueCat which purchases you have, using a random identifier the app itself creates (not your name or email); RevenueCat keeps that identifier and the receipt of each purchase (what you bought, when and at what price) and, like any server, sees your IP address. Its policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

Playing on everyone's phone

If you open a table so that others can play from their own phones, your phone acts as the server inside your Wi-Fi network. The others join from their browser with a link or a QR code, and what travels (the names they type and the moves) goes from phone to phone over that network, never through the internet or through us. Closing the table ends it.

Permissions

Android asks you for each one the first time a transformation needs it, not when you install the app.

• Notifications: for the alarms and reminders you set, Bewie's notices, and while a table is open, so you know it is still open and can close it.
• Exact alarms and knowing the phone was switched on: so your alarms ring on time and stay set after the phone restarts.
• Network and foreground service: to keep the table open on your Wi-Fi while you play, also when you switch apps.
• Microphone: only if you tap the microphone to talk to Bewie, or in a transformation that uses it (the tuner, the sound meter, the recorder, the birds). Your phone's speech recognition turns what you say to Bewie into text; if your phone doesn't have the language downloaded for offline use, that service (usually Google's) may send the audio to its servers to understand it. Bewie never receives or stores that audio: only the text, which stays on your phone just like what you type. What transformations hear never leaves the phone, and the recorder's voice notes are kept on it.
• Camera: only in a transformation that uses it (the mirror, the photo camera, the QR reader, the magnifier, the pulse, what animal is it?...). Images are analysed on the phone and never leave it, and the photos you take are saved to your gallery.
• Location: only in a transformation that uses it (the speedometer, where did I park?, my location). It stays on the phone; if you tap open in maps, you are the one handing it to your maps app.
• Bluetooth: only if you turn the phone into a controller, keyboard or mouse for another device of yours. Bewie does not scan for devices or read the ones around you: only the one you pair connects.
• Infrared, vibration, wallpaper and do not disturb: so the phone can work as the remote for your TV or air conditioner, vibrate in a game, set the wallpaper you choose, or go silent with a routine of yours. None of them takes data off the phone.

Sharing

When you share something (a photo, an event, a WhatsApp message), you are the one sending it to the app you choose, and that app's own policy applies there.

What comes from the internet

• Measuring your internet speed: Bewie downloads and uploads filler data to Cloudflare's test servers (speed.cloudflare.com). Like any website you visit, Cloudflare sees your IP address; nothing of yours is sent.
• Translating: the translator works inside your phone with Google's ML Kit, so what you type never leaves it. The first time you use a language, your phone downloads it (about 30 MB) from Google's servers.
• Scanning documents: the scanner is the one in your phone's Google Play services (ML Kit), which also reads the text of what you scan; the pages and their text stay on your phone. The first time, your phone downloads the scanner from Google's servers.
• What ML Kit tells Google: the translator and the scanner use ML Kit, which sends Google diagnostic data so it works and improves (the phone's model and version, the app's version, the languages chosen, how long it took, errors and an installation identifier that does not identify you). It never sends what you translate or scan.
• Recognising birds by their song: the first time, your phone downloads the model that recognises songs (about 130 MB) from Hugging Face (huggingface.co), which sees your IP address like any website. What the microphone records is listened to on the phone and never leaves it.
• Live TV: free channels play from each broadcaster's own servers, and the ones on a list of yours from your provider's; as when you watch them on their website, they see your IP address. Bewie sends them nothing of yours.

Apart from this and purchases, Bewie does not connect to the internet.

Everything the app sends to RevenueCat and to Google is encrypted in transit.

Android backup

If you have it turned on, Android may save the app's data to your Google account, encrypted, to restore it on another phone. Google does this according to your settings; we have no access to that backup.

Children

Bewie is for people aged 13 and over and is not directed at anyone younger.

Your rights

What you use in Bewie is on your phone, not on our servers, so you delete it by clearing the app's data. If you bought something and want the record kept by RevenueCat deleted, write to us and we will request it; your Google purchases are managed in your Google account. You can also complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es) or the authority in your country. The steps, one by one: Delete your data.

Changes

If the app starts handling data differently, we will update this page and the date above before releasing that version.
