Your personal privacy and the privacy of your data is paramount to us at Beemometa. We have prepared this Privacy Policy to clearly explain how we protect you and your data at Beemometa.
Privacy Bill of Rights
We are uncompromising about trust, respect and integrity.
You own your personal information & content. It is explicitly not ours.
You never receive targeted third-party advertisements or targeted third-party content. We think that's creepy.
You have full control over your newsfeed and the order of how posts appear.
We do not manipulate, filter, or change the order of your newsfeeds. Only you can do that.
Permissions & privacy are your rights. You control them.
You control who can access your content.
You can opt out of our member directory to protect your privacy.

Your face is your business. We do not use facial recognition technology.
You have the right to delete your account and take your content with you at any time.
Content Privacy Policy: You Own Your Content
You are our customer to delight, not data to sell or allow others to target. You own your content. We don’t. We don’t share your content with marketers. Third parties cannot pay Beemometa to target you. At Beemometa you have full control over your newsfeed and the order of how posts appear.
Illegal activity is not permitted. If we are made aware of illegal activity, we will take appropriate action. We ask that you not post any content that violates our Terms of Service (TOS). Please see our TOS for the list of activities that are not permitted at Beemometa and the actions we may take with TOS violators.
Tracking Privacy Policy: We Respect Your Privacy
We don’t track you to sell your data to third parties, and we don’t track you to manipulate your newsfeed and we don’t track you when you are not on Beemometa. To ensure the safety and security of our users, we track how members use our site. We collect your log data, usage activity, email, phone number, cookie data, and device/network information, to verify accounts; combat harmful conduct; detect and prevent spam; and to maintain the integrity of Beemometa.
We may share and match your information against databases or with third parties bound by confidentiality who specialize in identifying trolls, bots, scammers, spammers, fake accounts, stalkers, or illegal activity. We may also use pattern tracking to identify and remove disruptive elements such as trolls, bots, scammers, spammers, fake accounts, stalkers, etc.
We monitor how users use our site in general so that we can make it better. We are monitoring traffic, usage activity, feature popularity and site performance, and we use general analytic tools so that we can improve your experience.
Service Providers
We use third-party service providers to help operate Beemometa, such as with hosting and to protect our users. We may share your information with these service providers on the condition that they use your private personal data only on our behalf and consistent with this Privacy Policy.
If you make payments on Beemometa, we may share your payment information with third-party payment service providers to process payments; prevent, detect, and investigate fraud or other prohibited activities; facilitate dispute resolution such as chargebacks or refunds; and for other purposes associated with the acceptance of credit and debit cards.
Cookies – Where and Why
We use cookies on Beemometa to make your experience better. We NEVER use cookies for third-parties to target you or market to you. Cookies on Beemometa let you log in and out of Beemometa without needing to retype your login and password. Cookies on Beemometa tell us how many people use a certain feature, how they use it and with what frequency, and whether people open an email we send.
Cookies are another way we protect you from security risks. We use cookies to remember your settings and preferences, like the language you prefer and your privacy settings. We use cookies or similar technologies to identify your log data. We use cookies to detect when someone might be trying to hack your Beemometa account or spam the Beemometa community.
Message Disappearance
You have the ability to send certain types of messages through our services that automatically disappear. If you send such disappearing messages through our services they will be automatically deleted once they have been viewed or have expired.
But — and this is important — you should understand that users who see your messages can always save them, either by taking a screenshot or by using some other image-capture technology (whether that be software or even something as old-fashioned as a camera to take a photo of your device’s screen). The same common sense that applies to the Internet at large applies to Beemometa as well: Don’t send messages that you wouldn’t want someone to save or share.
In most cases, once we detect that all recipients have viewed a message, we automatically delete it from our servers. And again in most cases, the services are programmed to delete the message from the recipients’ device as well. There are, however, exceptions to this general rule:
We can’t guarantee that messages will be deleted within a specific timeframe. And even after we’ve deleted message data from our servers, that same data may remain in backup for a limited period of time.
We may receive requests from law enforcement requiring us by law to suspend our ordinary server-deletion practices for specific information.
As with any digital information, there may be ways to access messages while still in temporary storage on recipients’ devices or, forensically, even after they are deleted.
Your Identity: We Protect It To The Extent The Law Allows
We do our best to protect your identity at all times and we are respectful of the law. Beemometa will disclose personally-identifying information when required to do so by law.
Linking to Third Party Sites: These Are Your Decisions And Responsibilities
As an optional convenience for you, Beemometa offers you the opportunity to link to and/or connect to third party websites, advertisers, vendor products, services, etc., including and not limited to social network sites like Twitter. When you click-through, connect or link to these third party sites, products, services, etc., you are no longer protected by Beemometa's Privacy Policy. If you share to any third party social site from Beemometa, they will not be able to see back into your Beemometa account. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these third parties, as they differ from Beemometa's privacy practices as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Beemometa is not liable for wrongful use, loss, or disclosure of your personally-identifying information related to your use of any third party.
Security: HTTPS and Encryption
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal user data and other information transmitted to us. For example, we encrypt your personally identifiable information, and most, if not all requests from you to the server are created over a secure connection (HTTPS). However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under the age of 16, we will delete such information from our records.
Notifications: We’d Like To Keep You Up To Date
If you are a registered user of Beemometa you may receive notifications and updates while using our service. Additionally, if you have supplied your email address, Beemometa may want to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, and keep you up to date about the privacy and integrity issues we care most about and how our company is working to support them. You can opt-out of these email notifications.
Privacy Policy Changes: Immediate Notification & Easy Opt Out
If Beemometa changes any aspect of its Privacy Policy, we will notify you with a link to the changes so you can review and understand them, and provide you with an easy way to opt out of our service and delete your account if you wish.
Effective: January 09, 2023

Beemometa began in Baxley Georgia as a vision hatched over a lovely couple who were early founders of social media. They felt something critically human was getting lost: the spirit of our democracy and the backbone of our privacy. The big technology companies, you know who they are, had reverted to treating us as commodities. They somehow mistook people signing up to use their services as a welcome invitation to target, track, spy, and sell our information to advertisers and the government. All in all, it felt pretty creepy.
Beemometa founder, dreamed of the next generation in online communications, envisioning a social and chat app that would give people everywhere the most exciting and helpful sharing technology with privacy built into the design - where members would feel safe and respected.
Beemometa founder established TruuTube, and built a visionary Beemometa - fun, good people determined to revolutionize social media and build a new platform to go head-to-head with Facebook and restore decency, privacy, and respect for social media users.
Beemometa founder released TruuTube beta project, hiring an engineering team to design and build the a social network with privacy-by-design for its members. The 3-year TruuTube beta project served as the testing platform for the launch of Beemometa.
Beemometa is the visionary culmination of years of determined efforts, research, and development to provide people around the world with a communication network they love and trust.
