Questions and answers
Is BeaconLink right for me?
It depends. BeaconLink suits you if you have a few trusted people and want them to know when you are struggling without having to ask. It is not a crisis service. If you are in danger, call your local emergency number.
Who can see my ratings?
Only you. A friend sees a rating only when it drops below your threshold, and only for the dimension you chose them for. Your social battery is shared only with the friends you choose.
Do my friends have to agree?
Yes. A friend must accept your request before they can receive any alert from you.
Who can use BeaconLink?
Adults aged 18 and over. Young people are not part of this first version.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can download everything or delete your account and all your data permanently from your profile.
How are friends alerted?
In the app, and by email if they turn it on.
