Privacy Policy

We collect the following types of information:

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and the password you choose. If you provide it, we also store your display name and profile photo.

Profile & Health Data

To calculate personalized Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) values, you may optionally provide your date of birth, gender, and pregnancy/lactation status. This data is stored in your profile and used only to personalize your experience.

Nutrition Entries

We store the nutrition entries you log — including food names, serving sizes, and nutritional values — so you can track your progress over time.

Food Images

When you scan a nutrition label or photograph a meal, the image is sent to our servers and then to OpenAI for analysis. We do not store your food images permanently — they are processed and discarded.

Usage Data

We collect basic usage analytics via Vercel Analytics to understand how the website is used. This data is anonymized and does not include personally identifiable information.

• To provide and improve the BeanThere service
• To personalize your nutrition targets and insights
• To send you important account-related emails (e.g., password reset)
• To generate AI-powered health tips based on your nutrition history
• To power social features when you opt in to sharing with friends

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.

Your data is stored securely in Supabase, which provides encrypted storage and Row Level Security (RLS) to ensure your data is accessible only to you. We use industry-standard HTTPS encryption for all data in transit.

While we implement reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your BeanThere account.

BeanThere uses the following third-party services that may process your data:

• Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage. Governed by the Supabase Privacy Policy.
• OpenAI — food image and nutrition label analysis. Images are sent to OpenAI for processing. Governed by the OpenAI Privacy Policy.
• Vercel — website hosting and analytics. Governed by the Vercel Privacy Policy.
• Railway — backend API hosting. Governed by the Railway Privacy Policy.

BeanThere includes optional social features. By default, your nutrition data is private. You may choose to:

• Allow friends to view your nutrition entries
• Make your profile discoverable so others can find you

You can change these settings at any time in the app under Profile → Settings. Revoking access immediately removes your data from friends’ views.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent for data processing at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@beanthere.dev.

BeanThere is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at hello@beanthere.dev and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of BeanThere after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at hello@beanthere.dev.
