Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 13, 2026
Who we are
People Know People is a product of Beshears Advisory LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”), the company that operates the service and is responsible for the information described in this policy. The service is a subscription platform that business networking groups use to track referrals, run meetings, communicate, and report their impact.
This policy explains what information the service handles, why, who can see it, and the choices you have. Questions are always welcome at hello@peopleknowpeople.com.
Information we collect
Account information: your name, email address, and role in your group. Members sign in with single-use email codes, so we never collect or store passwords.
Profile information members choose to add: company, title, business category, bio, website, social links, office location, phone number, a profile photo, and a description of their ideal referral. Profiles are visible to the other members of the same group.
Group content your members create while using the product: referrals (including the referred contact's name, email, and phone number, notes about the opportunity, and any closed-business amounts recorded), meeting records and RSVPs, attendance and check-in records, guest records (a guest's name and, if provided, email and company, plus follow-up notes), discussion threads, replies, reactions, and attached images, one-on-one logs, announcements, uploaded resources, and emails admins send to the group.
Billing information: payment is collected and processed by Stripe. We store your subscription status, trial dates, and Stripe customer and subscription identifiers — we never see or store card numbers.
Technical information: when you sign in, we create a session (see Cookies below). Our marketing site records basic, first-party usage events (for example, that a signup page was visited, and any campaign tags in the link you arrived from). We do not use third-party advertising trackers or third-party analytics services.
How we use information
To provide the service: showing your group its own data, powering search and reports, and keeping each group's data separate from every other group's.
To send the emails the product sends: sign-in codes, invitations, guest confirmations, meeting reminders, new-resource notices, @mention notifications, weekly digests, billing notices to admins, and the group emails your admins compose. Each member can turn individual notification types on or off from their profile page; sign-in and billing emails are required to operate the account.
To operate billing through Stripe: starting trials, charging subscriptions, retrying failed payments, and applying the grace period described in our Terms.
To improve and protect the service: understanding how the marketing site performs, preventing abuse (for example, rate-limiting sign-in codes), and debugging problems.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own advertising. We do not use your group's content to train AI models or for any purpose other than running the service for your group.
Who can see your group's data
Your group: members see the content shared within their own group — the directory, referrals they gave or received, meetings, discussions, and published resources. Group admins additionally manage members, guests, group settings, group email, and billing for their own group.
Other groups: never. Every group's data is isolated, and nothing is shared between groups.
Us: the platform operator has administrative access, used only for support, billing, and keeping the service running.
Guests: when a member invites a guest, the guest's name and contact details are visible to the group's members and admins so the visit can be coordinated and followed up. Guests who have questions about their information can contact us or the group that invited them.
Service providers we rely on
We use a small number of service providers to run the product, each of which processes data only on our instructions:
Stripe — payment processing and subscription billing. Card details go directly to Stripe and are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.
Resend — delivery of the emails the product sends (sign-in codes, notifications, and group emails).
Neon — managed PostgreSQL database hosting, where the service's data is stored.
Replit — application hosting and infrastructure for the service itself.
We share only what each provider needs to perform its job, and we do not allow providers to use your information for their own purposes.
How long we keep information
While a group's subscription is active, we keep the group's data so the product works.
If a subscription is canceled or lapses, we retain the group's data so the group can reactivate later and pick up where it left off. Admins can export the group's full data at any time, including after a lapse, and can instead ask us to delete the group's data permanently.
Sign-in codes are single-use and expire within minutes. Session data expires when sessions end.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit. Sign-in uses short-lived, single-use email codes that are stored only in hashed form — there are no passwords to steal. Access within the product is limited by role and by group, and administrative access on our side is limited to what is needed to operate the service.
No internet service can promise perfect security. If we learn of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will investigate promptly, take corrective action, and notify affected group admins and any regulators we are legally required to notify, without unreasonable delay.
Your choices and rights
Notification control: every member can turn individual email notification types on or off from their profile page.
Profile control: members can edit or remove their own profile details at any time.
Export: group admins can export the group's full data as a spreadsheet workbook at any time.
Access, correction, and deletion: to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted, email hello@peopleknowpeople.com. We will verify your request and respond promptly. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy law (such as the CCPA in California or the GDPR in Europe), and we will honor valid requests to exercise them.
If a member's request conflicts with their group's records (for example, a referral another member logged), we will work with the requester and the group admin to resolve it fairly.
Children
The service is for business use and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top and notify group admins by email or an in-product notice before the changes take effect. Continued use of the service after the changes take effect means the updated policy applies.
