why your privacy matters ?

At Beamy, we take your privacy seriously. Our web extension, deployed by your company, helps map your organisation’s technology landscape while protecting your personal data. All information is handled in line with relevant data-protection standards. For extra peace of mind, you can use private browsing to keep personal and professional activity separate.

How We Protect Your Privacy

Beamy is committed to protecting your privacy:

Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization

We only collect the data necessary for your company’s analysis, and we "pseudonymize" it to protect your identity. While Beamy tracks application-usage patterns, no personal data is ever linked to you. We comply with CNIL recommendations and all applicable data-protection regulations.

Minimal Data Collection

Minimal Data Collection

We only collect information from professional SaaS tools—never from other websites.
The data we gather includes session times, session durations, email domain types, and a pseudonymised user ID.
We never collect personal data such as names or any sensitive information.

Data Aggregation

Data Aggregation

All collected data is aggregated and anonymised on the platform, so individual tracking is impossible. Beamy never conducts any form of user-level tracking, ensuring your privacy is always protected.

what data do we collect?

All data is pseudonymised using the SHA-256 algorithm, as recommended by the CNIL, so it cannot be traced back to you.

Collected Data

  • Session Time
  • Pseudonymized user ID
  • Number of sessions
  • Type of email used (professionnal or not)

We never collect

  • Sensitive information
  • Other personal data (name, surname, etc.)

purpose of data collection

Beamy’s web extension collects real-time information, giving IT and security teams a live view of your SaaS ecosystem. It helps to:

  • Monitor SaaS usage accurately:
    Distinguish between a simple visit and genuine application use.
  • Strengthen security and compliance:
    Ensure SaaS usage aligns with your organisation’s standards and policies.

What usage is Monitored?

We monitor only professional application usage. Traffic is limited to a predefined list of approved URLs to ensure user privacy.

We do not track:

  • Personal software (e.g., Deezer, Deliveroo)
  • Non-software websites (e.g., emails, news sites, private searches)

Why Do I Receive Notifications?

When an application is identified, you may receive notifications to ensure professional use complies with security standards.

These notifications serve two main purposes:

  • Informative:
    Ensure tool usage meets security and compliance standards.
  • Collaborative
    Gather your feedback on the solutions used.
