In Short: Yes — we use AI to power search and coffee data extraction.
BeanGenie uses AI and machine learning for product features including AI-powered search and the automated extraction of product information from roaster websites. AI search processes your search queries to return relevant results. Extraction operates on publicly available product pages and does not involve your personal information. All AI processing is handled in line with this Privacy Notice.
In Short: If you register or log in using a social media account, we may receive certain profile information from that provider.
If you register using a social media account, we will receive profile information as determined by that provider (often including name, email address, and profile picture). We use this information only as described in this Privacy Notice. We are not responsible for other uses of your personal information by your social media provider.
In Short: We may transfer and process your information outside your home country.
Our servers are located in the United States. If you access our Services from the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or elsewhere, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the US. We take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law.
In Short: We keep your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes in this Notice.
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes set out in this Notice, or as required by law. Account data is retained for no longer than six (6) months past account termination. When there is no ongoing legitimate need, we will delete or anonymize your information.
In Short: We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your information.
We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption for all traffic. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot promise that unauthorized third parties will never defeat our security. Transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk.
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18.
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 18. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old. If we learn that information from a user under 18 has been collected, we will deactivate that account and delete the data. Contact us at policy@beangenie.coffee if you believe we have collected data from a minor.
In Short: Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information.
In some regions (EEA, UK, Switzerland, Canada), you have rights under applicable data protection laws including the right to access, rectify, erase, or port your personal information, and to object to or restrict its processing.
You can review or update your account information by logging in to your account settings. To request account termination, contact us at policy@beangenie.coffee. We may retain some information to prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, or for legitimate business purposes.
Withdrawing consent: Where we rely on consent to process your information, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Opting out of marketing: You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in those emails or by contacting us. You may still receive service-related messages necessary for account administration.
If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you have the right to complain to your Member State or UK data protection authority. Swiss residents may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Most web browsers include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) setting. Because no uniform technology standard for recognizing DNT signals has been finalized, we do not currently respond to DNT signals. California law requires us to disclose this. If a standard is adopted that we must follow, we will update this Notice accordingly.
In Short: US residents may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about them.
