Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download BeeTold?
BeeTold is available for free from the Apple App Store and from the Google Play store.
How do I sign up?
After downloading the App, you can sign up with a valid email address. We will send you a confirmation email.
Do I have to confirm my email?
Yes! By confirming you email, we can confirm that you are a person! Plus you’ll then be able to recover a lost password.
What if I don’t know anybody else using the App?
BeeTold is 100% functional even if no other people you know have the app. You can still ask questions to groups of people you know as the App simply uses your email to send web-based links to questions you create to the recipients you select.
Do Recipients Have to have the App to answer questions?
Recipients of questions never need the app to respond to your questions. In fact, they can respond and comment to any questions you send simply by clicking on a web based link to a question that the App creates. If recipient of your questions would like to download the app, he or she then will be able to receive, respond and track questions you send within the App.
What’s the benefit of downloading the App?
While you don’t have to download the app to respond to questions, you need the app to do the following: to create and send questions yourself, to see reports and summary data from questions, to more easily receive and respond to questions, and to follow questions / responses that you’re involved in.
What if I forget my password?
When you sign in, there is a button that reads, “Forgot Password”. Click this link and we’ll shoot you an email with your information.
What makes this app Anonymous?
Answers to questions and comments are 100% anonymous. E-mails and names are never linked to questions responses. Please see our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions (found on BeeTold.com) for more information on our policies regarding anonymity.
Who can I send questions to?
The app connects to your phone’s contacts and allows you to send a question to anybody with a valid email address.
How does the App send questions to others?
The App sends questions in two ways: 1) by creating a web-based link to a question and sending it using your phone’s email system (to all recipients you select via Blind CC). In this way, people you select to receive a question receive an email from you with a simple unique link to a question. Recipients can open this link on any web browser (mobile, desktop, etc.) and answer the question. 2) by sending the question internally via the App to recipients of the question who have downloaded the app.
How does the app connect me to people I know?
People who have the app and login to the App using an email address that is your phone’s contact (i.e. a friend/ colleague of yours) automatically are connected with you via the App. As such, you can send questions to and receive questions form that person within the App.
Can I add recipients to questions I have already asked?
Yes. When viewing the results of a question, you can tap the box/arrow icon at the upper right of the screen to add more recipients, or export your answer data.
Do I have to individually select all of my recipients?
Users can individually select recipients, select a group of recipients, or both!
Can question recipients see question results?
Yes. Once a recipient has answered a question, they can see a summary of the vote results, but not individual answers.
How do I view the results of my question?
You can access you home feed of questions by tapping the ‘Home” icon in the lower navigation of the app. Here, you will see a list of questions that you have asked. Tap on any of the questions to view results and comments in detail.
Can I Export Question Results from the App?
Yes. In the question detail screen, click the upper right hand corner icon and touch the “report” link. This will create a summary of the question results created to date and send it to you in a usable format.
What types of questions can I ask with BeeTold?
You can ask Yes/No questions and multiple-choice question that have up to four answers. Regardless of the type of question, recipients can also comment anonymously when they answer.

BeeTold, Inc. (“BeeTold” or “we,” “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy, which explains how we collect, use, protect and share information about you when you use our mobile application (the “App”), our website (the “Site”) and the other related services we provide (collectively with the App and the Site, the “Services”).
BeeTold enables you to pose questions (“Questions”) to a group of people you select. Currently, the App’s configuration allows you to pose Yes/ No questions and Multiple Choice questions, although we anticipate enhancing the App’s features in the future. You pose these questions using your real name, and you can ask questions regarding any topic – as long as they comply with our Terms of Use. In addition to posing questions, the App also enables you to respond to questions received by the user, and comment on any questions.
The App ensures that all responses to questions are completely anonymous by not disclosing your name or email when you respond to or comment on a question that you receive.
Please read Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not register with or use the Services. By registering for and using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and your continued use of the Services after we make any changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

When you permit the App to access your phone’s contact database, we also collect certain information from your contacts on your mobile device, including your contacts’ email addresses, so that you can share your questions with people you already know. We may also collect information about you from other users of the Services (for example, we may collect your contact information from other users if these details are stored on that user's mobile device). If you choose not to provide certain information, we may not be able to provide the Service to you or certain features of the Service may be unavailable or work differently.

For example, we may use cookies to store your settings so you don‘t have to set them up every time you visit us. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your account (including personal information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not. We may also collect information using web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”).

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information and the other data which is provided to or collected by us. This is why we employ security measures designed to protect such data and information from unauthorized access. Regardless of our efforts, however, no data transmission over the Internet or other network, including any of the Services, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We will do our part, but we can’t and don’t guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the Site or Services. Thus, any information you transmit is sent at your own risk, although BeeTold does everything it can to protect it.
Sharing of Information
BeeTold is committed to the privacy and security of your information, including preserving your anonymity. However, there are a few cases when we will be unable to do so. Here are a few situations where we may disclose the information that we collect from you:
- With vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf;
- To our affiliates, as well as in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of BeeTold assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company;
- In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with any applicable law, regulation or legal process, or as otherwise required by any applicable law, rule or regulation;
- If the content of a Question or any responses to it can reasonably be considered illegal or unlawful (or it seems like the Question or any responses to it are being used to engage in, encourage or promote such activities), in which case we may be forced to report your identity to the proper authorities in order to protect the rights, property and safety of BeeTold, our users and/or others; and
- With your consent or at your direction, including if we notify you through the Services that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you provide such information.
You should be aware that if you choose to include information about yourself in your responses to questions, such information will be shared with other users of the Services. We suggest that you do not include any identifiable information about yourself in your responses and comments. Also, please note that if you or other users choose to share a Question through a third party, such as Facebook, Twitter or an email client, or if a user shares a ‘screen grab’ of any material posted by or through BeeTold, any further collection and sharing of that Question by such third party or its users will be governed by that third party’s privacy policy, and we cannot control what any third party does with any Questions or other information that is shared with such third parties.
While we make it difficult to do so, it is still technically possible for us to connect your responses and comments with your email address, phone number, or other personal data you have provided to us. This means that if a court asks us to disclose your identity, we may be compelled to do so. If we do happen to receive a subpoena or court order requesting that we disclose your information, we will attempt contact you if reasonably feasible before we disclose any information to give you time to fight the subpoena in court. In the United States, you may be able to fight the subpoena on the basis that it violates your First Amendment right to speak anonymously.
Retention of Personal Information
We will only retain personal information about you for as long as it is necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy. When BeeTold determines that we are no longer using the personal information, we will destroy or permanently erase such personal information.
