Who We Are
Cueply is developed and operated by Bybeit, Inc., a corporation registered in Japan.
Scope of This Policy
This Policy applies to information processed through your use of the Cueply iOS application, including its keyboard extension functionality. It does not apply to:
- Third-party websites, services, or applications that you may access through or alongside the App;
- The privacy practices of Apple, Inc. in connection with the App Store or iOS operating system;
- The privacy practices of third-party AI providers used by the App, which are governed by their own separate privacy policies.
Information We Process
3.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide
Cueply is designed as a privacy-first application. The only data processed through the App is screenshots or images you explicitly and voluntarily import into the App for analysis ("User Content").
We do not require you to create an account. We do not ask for, collect, or store your name, email address, phone number, location, or any other personal identifiers.
3.2 Information We Do Not Collect
To be clear about what we do not do:
- We do not collect, store, or retain any screenshots or images you import into the App on our servers;
- We do not build user profiles or maintain any persistent records about you;
- We do not collect device identifiers, advertising identifiers (IDFA), or persistent unique IDs;
- We do not access your contacts, camera, microphone, location, or other device resources beyond what is minimally necessary to operate the keyboard extension;
- We do not use cookies, web beacons, or similar tracking technologies;
- We do not collect behavioral analytics or usage data on our own infrastructure.
3.3 Automatically Collected Technical Information
Standard iOS operating system crash reports and diagnostic data may be made available to us through Apple's App Store Connect platform, subject to your iOS device settings and Apple's own privacy policy. Such data is governed by Apple's terms and does not include the content of your screenshots.
How Your Content Is Processed — Third-Party AI Providers
4.1 Transmission to AI Providers
The core functionality of Cueply requires transmitting the screenshot you import to a third-party artificial intelligence service for analysis and reply generation. You may select which AI provider processes your content:
- OpenAI, L.L.C. ("OpenAI") — using OpenAI's API services;
- Anthropic, PBC ("Anthropic") — using Anthropic's API services.
Your screenshot is transmitted directly from your device to the selected provider's API endpoint over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Bybeit does not receive, intercept, or store a copy of your screenshot at any point during this transmission.
4.2 Third-Party Provider Data Practices
We do not control, and cannot guarantee, how OpenAI or Anthropic handle, store, use, or retain the data you transmit to them. Each provider's handling of your data is governed solely by their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We encourage you to review these carefully:
As of the date of this Policy, we understand that both OpenAI and Anthropic represent that API inputs may be used for safety and policy compliance purposes. However, their policies are subject to change, and Bybeit makes no warranties or representations regarding those policies.
4.3 Your Responsibility Regarding Content
Because your screenshot is transmitted to a third-party AI provider, you should:
- Avoid importing screenshots that contain sensitive personal information (such as financial data, government-issued ID numbers, health information, passwords, or private communications you do not intend to share with a third-party AI service);
- Ensure you have the right to share the content of any screenshot you import, including with respect to the privacy rights of any third parties depicted or referenced in that screenshot.
Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)
Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on the following:
- Performance of a Contract / Service: Processing User Content is necessary to provide the App's core functionality at your request.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing aggregate crash reports to maintain and improve the stability of the App.
- Consent: Where required, we will seek your consent before processing any information not described in this Policy.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions that recognize GDPR-equivalent frameworks, the transmission of your screenshot to a third-party AI provider is initiated by you at your direction and constitutes processing under your explicit instruction.
How We Use Information
To the limited extent we receive any information (e.g., crash diagnostic data from Apple), we use it solely for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the technical performance and stability of the App;
- To investigate and resolve technical issues or bugs;
- To comply with applicable legal obligations;
- To enforce our Terms of Service and protect the rights of Bybeit and our users.
We do not use your information for advertising, marketing, profiling, or any purpose beyond those listed above.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
7.1 Third-Party AI Providers
As described in Section 4, your screenshot is transmitted to your selected AI provider (OpenAI or Anthropic). This is the only sharing of User Content that occurs, and it is initiated by you at your express direction.
7.2 Service Providers
We may engage third-party vendors that provide infrastructure, security, or analytics services to support the operation of the App. Any such vendors are bound by confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using information for their own purposes.
7.3 Legal Requirements and Safety
We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with a legal obligation, court order, regulatory demand, or enforceable governmental request;
- Enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements;
- Protect the safety, rights, or property of Bybeit, our users, or the public;
- Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues.
7.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, any information held by us may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice if such a transfer results in a material change to this Policy.
7.5 No Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for their own commercial purposes.
Data Retention
Bybeit retains no copies of the screenshots or images you import into the App on our systems. User Content is transmitted ephemerally to the selected AI provider and is not stored by Bybeit.
Any incidental technical data (such as crash logs accessible through Apple's App Store Connect) is retained only for as long as necessary to resolve the relevant issue, and in any event for no longer than twelve (12) months.
Retention of your data by OpenAI or Anthropic is governed by their respective privacy policies and retention schedules.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information in our possession against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encrypted transmission of User Content via HTTPS/TLS to third-party AI provider endpoints;
- No server-side storage of User Content by Bybeit;
- Limiting access to technical systems to authorized personnel only.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to exercise caution regarding the content of screenshots you choose to import.

Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 (or such higher age as may be required by applicable law, including 16 in certain EEA member states). If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at privacy@bybeit.app and we will take steps to delete such information.
The App is intended for users who are 17 years of age or older, consistent with its App Store age rating. Use of the App by minors is subject to parental or guardian consent where required by law.
International Data Transfers
Bybeit is based in Japan. By using the App, you acknowledge that your User Content will be transmitted to the AI provider's servers, which may be located outside your country of residence, including in the United States.
Where such transfers involve personal data originating from the EEA or UK, OpenAI and Anthropic have represented that they maintain appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for such transfers. Please review their respective privacy policies for details.
Third-Party Links and Services
The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (including the privacy policy links of our AI providers). These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we have no responsibility or liability for their content or practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.
Do Not Track
The App does not track users across third-party apps or websites for advertising purposes. Because we do not engage in behavioral tracking, we do not alter the App's data practices in response to "Do Not Track" signals from browsers or devices.
Apple App Store and iOS Platform
The App is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple's collection and use of information related to your use of the App Store is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy, available at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy. Bybeit is not responsible for Apple's data practices.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. For material changes, we will provide notice through the App or through other reasonable means, as required by applicable law.
Your continued use of the App after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
