Why BackBy won’t be taken down

Communities remember when a well‑known aid app disappeared. BackBy is built differently so a single decision or outage can’t erase your Plans.

No single switch

BackBy isn’t a messaging provider. We don’t send texts or emails, so there’s nothing to cut off. Your Backers check Plans when they choose.

We don’t hold your personal data

We never store names, contacts, or IP addresses. Notes are encrypted on your device and unlocked by your Backers, off‑platform.

Public, signed history

Every 10 minutes, we publish a signed snapshot of the log and anchor a daily receipt. Anyone can mirror these public files. If our site goes down, the record stays verifiable.

Clear roles for safety

Backers—not BackBy—decide what to do. That keeps agency with people you trust, and keeps BackBy out of the middle.
