These are the terms for using FriendRing, an app for keeping up with the people who matter to you. By installing or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
For your convenience#
The parts people ask about most, in two lines. The full terms follow.
- Your information: it stays on your phone. There is no account and no server, we do not sell data and we do not run ads. The details are on the Privacy page.
- Price: the app is free for up to 10 people. One payment of €4.99 unlocks up to 150, for good. There are no subscriptions.
Using the app#
You may install the app on phones you own or control and use it for your own, personal purposes: keeping in touch with friends and family.
Please do not:
- copy, resell or rent out the app, or offer it as part of another product
- take it apart or change it, except where the law gives you that right
- use it to break the law or to harass anyone
The app is meant for adults and for young people who are old enough, where they live, to agree to terms like these on their own.
No account#
The app has no account, no sign-in and no password. Nobody can reset or recover anything for you, including us, because what you enter exists only on your phone.
What you put into the app#
The names, notes, dates, photos and check-ins you enter are yours. We never receive them, so we claim no rights over them and cannot see, restore or remove them.
You are the one who decides what to write about the people in your life. Please be considerate with what you note down about others, and with who can see your phone.
Looking after your information#
Because everything is kept on your phone, it is yours to look after:
- If you remove the app, lose your phone or choose “Erase everything”, what you entered is gone. We cannot bring it back.
- The app can make a backup file when you ask for one. Keeping that file, and keeping it safe, is up to you. Unless you add a passphrase, the file is readable text and is not encrypted. If you add a passphrase, only the passphrase opens the file, and a forgotten passphrase cannot be recovered by anyone, including us. Photos are not part of it.
Reminders, suggestions and progress#
The app reminds you to get in touch, suggests how, and shows your progress. These are gentle prompts, not advice and not promises. A reminder can be late or missing, for example when your phone restricts notifications or saves battery. Please do not rely on the app for anything that must not be missed.
Calls and messages#
The call button opens your phone’s own calling screen. Your phone and your phone company place the call, and their charges and terms apply. The app places no calls and sends no messages itself.
Price#
The app is free to download. It has every feature and holds up to 10 people. One payment, of €4.99 or the same in the currency of your store, unlocks it for up to 150 people, for good.
- The payment is made once, through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, and is billed and refunded under their rules.
- It is not a subscription, and nothing renews.
- The purchase belongs to your store account. We do not see it. “Restore purchase” in the app’s Settings brings it back on a new phone or after a reinstall, as long as you use the same store account.
- Everyone you have added keeps working if you do not buy it, and backups and restores are always free.
- There is no advertising.
If we change the price or what the unlock includes, it will be offered clearly, and these terms will be updated first.
The app belongs to us#
The app, its design, its name and its icon belong to beeproductive. These terms give you permission to use the app; they do not hand over ownership of it.
Changes to the app#
We may update the app, add or remove features, or stop offering it. What you have entered stays on your phone either way, and you can make a backup file at any time.
No promises about the app#
We make the app with care and test it, but it is provided as it is. We do not promise that it will always work, that it will be free of faults, or that it will suit a particular purpose.
Nothing in these terms takes away rights that the law gives you as a consumer and that cannot be set aside by agreement.
What we are responsible for#
As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for:
- information you lose, for example through a lost phone, a removed app or a missing backup
- a reminder that did not arrive, or a contact you missed because of it
- what happens between you and the people you keep in the app
- your phone, your phone company, or the app stores
We do not exclude or limit responsibility where the law does not allow that, such as for harm we cause on purpose or through gross carelessness.
Apple’s App Store and Google Play#
You get the app from Apple or Google, and their store terms apply to the download as well as these.
If you got the app from Apple’s App Store:
- These terms are between you and beeproductive, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or what is in it.
- Apple has no duty to provide maintenance or support for the app. Questions go to us, at the address below.
- If the app does not do what these terms say, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for it, if any. Apple has no other duty for the app.
- We, not Apple, deal with claims about the app, including claims that it infringes someone’s rights.
- Apple and its subsidiaries may rely on these terms and enforce them against you.
Changes to these terms#
When these terms change, the date below changes with them. If a change matters, the app or its store page will say so. Using the app after a change means you accept the new terms.
Last updated: 23 October 2026.
The law that applies#
The law of the Netherlands applies to these terms. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live, and you may bring a dispute before the courts there.
We would much rather hear from you first. Most things can be sorted out with an email.
