Your family, not our product.
Every line below was checked against BRYKK's own code. Where we fall short, we say so.
No account. No password.
The family app never asks for an email, a password or a sign-in. You start a family or join one with your family code, and a family admin approves you. The web dashboard is approved from a family phone, not a password. (BRYKK Life is billed through your App Store or Google Play account.)
No ads. Never sold.
There are no ads, no ad networks and no advertising IDs in BRYKK, and we never sell your family's data. There's no business model that needs it: BRYKK Life pays for the product.
No third-party trackers in the apps.
The iPhone and Android apps contain no third-party analytics, crash-reporting or attribution SDKs. Android uses Google's push service only to wake the app, and those pushes carry no locations or messages.
What we keep, and for how long
| Each person's latest location | 7 days |
|---|---|
| Detailed location points and drive breadcrumbs | 14 days |
| Trips, messages, voice messages, saved places | Until you delete your account (or you are removed, or the family is deleted) |
| Your profile photo, name and phone number | Until you delete your account; the phone number is also deleted when you leave |
| Medical info you share with family | Only while sharing is on |
| Temporary share links | Deleted 7 days after they expire |
| A web dashboard sign-in | 30 days, in one secure cookie |
The honest limits
- Family data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our hosting providers, but it is not end-to-end encrypted: BRYKK's service reads locations to run arrival alerts.
- BRYKK staff can access family data to run, secure and fix the service. We don't use it for ads or profiling.
- Our website counts visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies; family codes and share links are removed from addresses first, and the web dashboard isn't counted. Our own service keeps usage counts keyed by scrambled (hashed) family and member IDs.
- Debug logs are sent only when you tap Send, and we keep them until we delete them or you delete your account.
- Driving-sensor diagnostics are recorded only after you tap Send on your phone when BRYKK support asks. They hold motion statistics, never your location, and stop after 7 days.
- Your medical details stay on your phone unless you turn on Share with my family. Turning it off deletes the shared copy.
- Deleting your account erases your data from our service, our website and your phone. An anonymous "Deleted member" marker stays so old devices can't sign back in.
