- Audio is encrypted end to end and never recorded or stored.
- At home, the phones talk directly over your Wi-Fi.
- Our servers are only used if you turn on listening away from home.
- No ads, analytics or tracking.
Who we are
BabyMon is made by [Codeman Pty Ltd] (ACN [000 000 000]), [State], Australia ("we", "us"). Questions about privacy go to support@codeman.com.au.
What the app uses on your phone
- Microphone
- Baby unit only, while monitoring, to send sound to your paired phones.
- Camera
- Parent phone only, to scan the pairing QR code. Images are not saved.
- Local network
- To find and connect to your other phones on the same Wi-Fi.
- Notifications
- To show alarms when a baby unit goes offline or a battery is low.
Audio
Sound from the baby unit is sent directly to your paired phones and is encrypted end to end. Only your paired phones hold the keys to play it. BabyMon never records or stores audio, and we never receive it in a form we can listen to.
What's stored on your phones
The names you give your baby units and parent phones, the encryption keys created when you pair, and your settings. These stay on your devices. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
Listening away from home
This is off by default. If you turn it on, the phones use our connection server to find each other over the internet. If a direct connection isn't possible, the encrypted audio is passed through our relay server.
Our servers see random device identifiers, IP addresses and connection times. They don't see names and can't decrypt audio. Server logs are kept for [N days] for security and troubleshooting, then deleted.
Purchases
[When in-app purchases are available:] Payments are handled by Apple or Google. We never see your payment details. So a purchase covers every phone in your household, our server keeps a random household identifier and its purchase status. It holds no name or email address.
What we don't do
There are no accounts, advertising, analytics or tracking in BabyMon. We don't sell or share data with anyone.
This website
This site has no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and its fonts are served from the site itself. Our host (Microsoft Azure) may keep standard server logs, such as IP address, page and time, for security.
Children
BabyMon is used by parents and carers. It doesn't collect personal information from children. The sound of the room is never stored.
Your choices
You can unpair phones or uninstall the app at any time. To ask about or delete a household record on our server, email support@codeman.com.au. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes.
