Privacy Policy: goWare & BeQuiet

Effective Date: June 17, 2026

At goWare (a software brand operated under Dreamgineering, LLC), we build the future of agentic software. We believe privacy policies should be readable by humans, not just attorneys. Here is exactly how we handle your data, split between our website and our mobile apps.

1. The Honest Truth (Websites & Contact Forms)

When you contact us on our website or engage with our "Wares," we collect the data you explicitly provide to us (like your name, email, and inquiry details).

We don't hide behind legalese. The truth is: we don't know exactly how we will use your email address in the future.

You should assume that while we are currently committed to using your contact information exclusively within the goWare family of products and services, we may use it at some point to contact you about new products, software releases, or development services that go beyond your initial inquiry. We will not sell your data to third parties.

If you want to be part of the agentic revolution with us, this is the trade-off. If you're not comfortable with us potentially reaching out to you later with cool new stuff, we strongly encourage you to use a pseudonym, a disposable email address, or simply consider not submitting your contact information at all.

2. The BeQuiet Mobile App (The "We Don't Want Your Data" Policy)

While our website offers products and services that may require creating a profile to manage them, there is no connection between these website profiles and the BeQuiet app running on your device. The application is engineered from the ground up as an offline-first, zero-knowledge utility.

  • No Location Tracking: BeQuiet automatically manages your Do Not Disturb state based on WiFi networks. We may occasionally use GPS to locate the correct SSID in our database, but this is strictly an offline lookup and we never send this location information back to our servers. We do not track, log, or record the device's physical GPS coordinates or route metrics. If we wanted to stalk you, we'd build a social network.
  • No Background Uploads: The custom Quiet Zones you add to your app are stored locally and privately on your physical device. They never touch our servers. You can optionally opt-in to let Quiet Zone sponsors know how many times a day your instance of BeQuiet entered their sponsored zone. This is done using a unique token that is generated daily. The token is permanently removed from the device when a new one is generated, ensuring there is no way to identify your device or track it from day to day.
  • Sponsor "Thank You" Telemetry: If you use the app to silence your phone at a sponsored location and explicitly tap the "Thank Sponsor" button, we send a completely anonymous network ping to our database. This payload contains only the WiFi hash, a timestamp, and a +1 counter. It is entirely stripped of device IDs, user identities, or hardware fingerprints. We just want sponsors to know the system is useful; we don't care who pressed the button.

3. Why We Ask For Permissions

To function as designed, Android requires BeQuiet to ask for some scary-sounding permissions. Here is what they actually do:

  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION: Google bundles WiFi scanning under "Location" permissions. We need this to see the name of the WiFi network the device is near so the app can mute it. We never read or save device GPS coordinates.
  • ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY: Required so the app can programmatically toggle your device's "Do Not Disturb" (DND) state.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows the background service to start automatically when your phone reboots, so you don't have to manually open the app every time your phone dies.

4. Legal Privacy Compliance

We are committed to complying with major global privacy frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because our mobile application is zero-knowledge and offline-first, it inherently adheres to the strictest principles of data minimization and user consent. For any web-based data you explicitly provide to us, you retain the full right to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data at any time.
