Larlebee

The Family Safety Promise

What we promise every family.

Your family is trusting us with names, faces and memories that go back generations. This is what we promise in return, written in plain English.

Three promises that will not change

  • No ads. Larlebee will never show advertising, and nobody can pay to reach your family.
  • We never sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
  • Your family owns its data. Your family's records belong to your family. We look after them for you; they are not ours.

Larlebee is paid for by families who choose Family Plus, never by selling attention or information about you.

Only your family sees your family

  • Your family’s tree, messages, photos and stories are seen only by the relatives your family has let in.
  • Each person can choose whether their phone number and address are seen by the whole family or only by their closest relatives.
  • Anyone can hide themselves from specific relatives.
  • When two families are joined by marriage, they can read each other's heritage. Photos and conversations stay with each family.
  • Guests you invite to a memorial, wedding or naming see that one event and its guest book. They see no one else in your family and nothing of your tree.

Children and elders

  • Children don't need an email address or a password. A parent or guardian sets up the child's phone with a code.
  • Elders' phones can be set up the same way by a close relative, with a simpler screen and only the important notifications.

Mistakes can be put right

  • Every change to a person is recorded with who made it, and can be undone.
  • When relatives remember things differently, both versions are kept side by side. Nothing is quietly overwritten.
  • Your family's data is backed up every day.

Bee suggests; your family decides

  • Bee answers only from what your family has recorded, and shows where each answer came from.
  • When Bee reads a document, such as a funeral programme, it suggests people and relationships. Nothing goes on the tree until someone in the family confirms it.
  • Your family can switch Bee off.

Money stays honest

  • Family contributions are records only. No money moves through Larlebee.
  • Payments are confirmed by a treasurer, and every step is written to a record that can't be quietly changed.
  • Relatives are warned when the bank details for a fund have recently changed.
  • Givers can choose to keep their own payment anonymous from the wider family.

You are in control of your account

  • You can report a message or a person, and block someone, from anywhere in Larlebee. The Larlebee team reviews reports.
  • You can delete your account from your profile at any time.

Start with you, your parents and your grandparents.

It takes about a minute. Then send the link to your family group and let everyone fill in what they know.
