Privacy Policy
Baydi Bee (“Baydi”, “we”) is a talking AI friend for children. Protecting children's privacy is the most important part of how we build it. This policy explains, in plain words, what information we collect, why, how long we keep it and what parents can do. It is written to comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who we are
Baydi Bee is operated by Ramin Sadikhov, an independent developer.

The short version
- We collect children's information only after a parent signs in with Apple and gives consent.
- We never record or store your child's voice.
- We have no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and we never sell data.
- Word-for-word conversations are deleted automatically after 30 days.
- Parents can delete what Baydi remembers, or the whole account, at any time inside the app.
Information we collect
From the parent: the anonymous Apple account identifier from Sign in with Apple, the email address Apple shares with us (this may be a private relay address), the date of consent, and subscription and purchase records from Apple (we never receive card details).
From the child, to make Baydi work: the text of what the child says (speech is turned into text on the iPhone by Apple's speech recognition — on the device when possible, otherwise through Apple's service), the child's first name and age if the child tells them, and short notes Baydi keeps like a friend (for example favourite things, important events, what the child has learned).
Technical: the app language, the phone's time-zone offset (so the daily limit resets at the child's midnight), a random sign-in key for the device (we store only its fingerprint), and short-lived server logs (IP address and time of requests) for security.
We do not collect: surname, address, school, phone number, location, contacts, photos, advertising identifiers or voice recordings. Baydi is told never to ask for these.
How we use information
- To let Baydi understand your child and answer.
- To remember your child like a friend (name, age, favourite things, important events, a short diary of talks and progress).
- To show parents a weekly “Progress” summary (topics and skills only — personal feelings are not shown).
- To manage subscriptions, the daily limit and purchases.
- To keep the service safe and working.
We do not use children's information for advertising, profiling or any purpose other than providing Baydi.
Who processes information for us
We share information only with service providers that run parts of Baydi for us, under contracts that forbid them from using it for anything else:
- Anthropic, PBC (Claude AI) — receives the conversation text, Baydi's notes about the child and the last few messages to create Baydi's reply. Under Anthropic's commercial terms the data is not used to train AI models and is deleted from their systems within 30 days (longer only if flagged for a safety review).
- Inworld AI — receives only Baydi's reply text to create his voice. It does not receive your child's words.
- Apple — Sign in with Apple, in-app purchases and speech recognition on the iPhone.
- Vultr — our servers, located in Frankfurt, Germany.
- Zoho — our email for support and parent notices.
We never sell or rent personal information and we do not disclose it to anyone else, except if required by law.
Parental consent (COPPA)
Baydi is directed to children. Before a child can talk with Baydi, a parent signs in with their Apple account, reads what Baydi remembers and agrees in the app, and starts a paid subscription through Apple. We send a notice to the parent's email about the consent. A child cannot use Baydi without this step.
How long we keep information
- Word-for-word conversation text: deleted automatically after 30 days.
- Baydi's notes, diary and progress: kept while the account exists, until the parent deletes them. The diary keeps only the last 14 entries, and weekly progress only the last 2 weeks.
- Account information: until the parent deletes the account.
- Purchase records (transaction ID, product and date, no child data): kept for accounting, refunds and legal obligations.
- Server logs: kept for a short time for security.
Parents' rights and choices
- Delete what Baydi remembers: For parents → Delete child's data.
- Delete the whole account: For parents → Delete account. Everything about your family is erased; an Apple subscription is cancelled separately in iPhone Settings.
- Review the information about your child, correct it or stop further collection: write to support@baydibee.com.
- You can stop your child using Baydi at any time.
In the EU and UK you also have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and you may complain to your data protection authority. Our legal basis is the parent's consent and the performance of the subscription contract.
Security
Connections are encrypted (HTTPS). Device sign-in keys are stored only as fingerprints. Access to the servers is limited to the developer. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your family's information and will notify you as required by law if something goes wrong.
International transfers
Our servers are in Germany (EU). Some service providers (Anthropic, Inworld, Apple) are in the United States; transfers rely on their data processing terms, including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that affects children's information, we will tell parents in the app or by email and ask for consent again where required.
