Privacy and security overview
These docs are a work in progress. OpenBeacon hasn't had an independent security review yet.
OpenBeacon encrypts your family's locations and battery levels on your phone before they're sent. Only the phones in your group hold the keys to read them, so the server that stores them, whether ours or one you run yourself, can't.
Some information isn't end-to-end encrypted, such as your name, email address, group names, who is in which group, and profile and group pictures. These pages explain exactly what is protected, what a server can see, and the limits we know about.
