Plain-language information
Privacy & private beta.
We are still early, so this page is intentionally direct about what the website collects, where app information currently lives, and what families should expect from private beta access.
Website forms
The BashoTerra website currently collects information only when you choose to submit a form. The Early Access form asks for your first name and email address. The contact form below asks for your name, email address and message.
These website submissions are processed through Netlify, the service that hosts this website. We use Netlify Web Analytics to understand basic website traffic such as pageviews, approximate visitor location, referral source and requested pages. We have not added advertising trackers or third-party analytics scripts to the current website.
When you choose a BashoTerra product or Etsy-shop link, the website briefly passes through a BashoTerra /go/ page before opening Etsy. This lets us count aggregate outbound product clicks in the same server-side traffic reporting. It does not create a BashoTerra checkout; purchasing is handled by Etsy.
How the current app stores information
The current BashoTerra beta is designed to keep app records and saved attachments locally on the device/browser. They do not automatically transfer to another family device and are not automatically backed up to a BashoTerra cloud account.
A prepared update includes backup and restore tools for supported records and attachments, but that update is still in acceptance testing and is not described here as released functionality.
Private beta status
BashoTerra has a working family-use app and a separate English/Korean beta. A larger combined update is currently being reviewed before release. Storage verification, responsive/accessibility checks, Samsung-phone behavior, fluent Korean review and final regression testing are still part of that process.
Private beta means features may change, data-migration behavior between beta versions is not guaranteed, and families may be asked for feedback about what worked, what was confusing and what they would miss if it disappeared.
Supported environments and known limits
The current beta is web-based. Windows/browser testing has passed several user-assisted offline and update-recovery checks. Mobile-specific and Samsung-specific validation is still in progress. English and Korean interfaces are available, while expanded Korean workflows and warnings still require fluent review before the prepared update is released.
BashoTerra does not currently provide automatic family synchronization, automatic cloud backup, live traffic, live flight tracking, live exchange rates, connected emergency alerts, connected visa alerts or automatic transportation booking.
Early Access and pricing
Joining the Early Access list is free and does not provide immediate app access. We will use the submitted email address to contact you when family beta places or planning tools are ready to share.
Founding-family beta access is planned as a paid offer. Final availability, price and terms will be shared before anyone is asked to purchase. Joining the Early Access list does not commit you to a purchase.
Deleting information
App records are local to the device/browser. Where the beta provides a Remove or Delete control, families can use that control to remove the relevant local record or file. Clearing browser/site data may remove more local information at once and should be approached carefully because it can erase records you intended to keep.
For Early Access or contact-form information held through the website, use the contact form below and ask us to remove the submission associated with your email address. We can delete those website form submissions from the BashoTerra Netlify project.
