Fact	Beacon Co-Parenting App	Shared Parenting
Expense tracking	Shared expenses support configurable percentage splits, payment records, receipts and a net who-owes-what balance.	Parents can record child-related expenses, attach receipt photos, set 50/50 or custom splits, and receive monthly PDF reports by email.
Headquarters	Cappoquin, Co. Waterford, Ireland	Tel Aviv, Israel
Messaging	Co-parents can exchange secure messages, and messages cannot be edited or deleted by either parent or staff.	Messages have read receipts and cannot be edited or deleted, creating a permanent record in the app.
Purpose	The app helps separated parents and guardians in Ireland coordinate childcare in one structured place and keep a shared record.	Shared Parenting is built for divorced and separated parents to coordinate expenses, custody schedules, messages, and child-related information.
Security	Traffic uses HTTPS, stored information is encrypted on Google Cloud infrastructure, passwords are hashed and optional authenticator two-step verification is available.	The privacy policy says data is stored on Google Cloud Platform, primarily in the me-west1 Israel region, and describes encrypted transmission, Firebase security rules, and rate-limiting on sensitive operations.

Beacon suits parents or legal guardians aged 18 or older who share care of children in Ireland. It is not intended for children to hold accounts.
