All inspection notes you enter are saved as plain-text files on the server.
There is no encryption applied to the content of these files.
Do not enter personal information in your inspection notes — no names, addresses,
phone numbers, financial details, or any other data you would not want stored as
unencrypted plain text.
Keep notes focused on beekeeping observations: hive condition, queen status,
brood, stores, treatments, and next actions.
Data processors
Zanboor shares your data with the following third-party processors:
Anthropic — Q&A text, inspection notes, and mite-counter images are sent to Anthropic's Claude API for AI processing. See Anthropic's privacy policy.
SendGrid — Email address and metadata for account verification, password resets, and notification emails. See SendGrid/Twilio's privacy policy.
Fly.io — Hosting provider (UK/EU region). All data resides on Fly.io infrastructure. See Fly.io's privacy policy.
Open-Meteo — Apiary latitude/longitude for weather data enrichment. See Open-Meteo's terms.
Application logs (request URLs, IP addresses, timestamps) are retained for 30 days for debugging and security monitoring.
Account sharing
Each account is for one person only. Accounts must not be shared between users.
Do not give your password to anyone else.
If multiple people manage the same apiary, each person must have their own account.
Shared logins make audit trails unreliable and may result in account suspension.
Your rights — deleting your account and data
Under UK GDPR (Article 17, "right to erasure") you can delete your
Zanboor account at any time. Your name, email, all apiaries, hives,
inspection records, photos, mite-counter results, shares, and any
feedback you submitted will be permanently removed.
To delete your account: open your Profile
page, scroll to Danger Zone, confirm your password,
and click Permanently delete my account. We will
send you a confirmation email immediately afterwards.
Deletion is irreversible. If you only want to stop receiving emails,
use the Email Preferences toggle on the Profile page instead.
