Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 14, 2026

This privacy policy describes how your personal information is handled in the Beanstats app.

What We Collect

The app collects information you provide directly, including coffee beans, brewing recipes, and brew logs with parameters like grind size, dose, yield, and timing. If you use a compatible Bluetooth scale, the app records weight measurements during brewing. The app can also read NFC tags you scan to quickly log beans or equipment.

All of this data is stored locally on your device and, if you enable iCloud sync, in your private iCloud account. We do not have access to your iCloud data.

Analytics

Apple may collect crash reports and basic usage data through App Store Connect. This is governed by Apple’s privacy policy and your device settings.

Use of TelemetryDeck to analyze app usage

We use the privacy-friendly analytics service TelemetryDeck (provider: TelemetryDeck GmbH, Von-der-Tann-Str. 54, 86159 Augsburg, Germany) to analyze usage data. The use is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, as we require reliable and efficient tools for collecting app usage data in order to fulfill the contract with you, our customer.

What data is transferred?

The data processed by TelemetryDeck is completely anonymized and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about personal information.

The following data is collected, among other things:

  • an anonymized, untraceable user ID (per app installation),
  • actions defined by the app publisher (e.g., “app launched,” “settings opened”),
  • a rounded timestamp (to the nearest hour),
  • device metadata (e.g., system version, app version, device type),
  • additional metadata defined by the app publisher (e.g., “number of items in the database”).

What is not stored?

  • No IP addresses (not in logs, not in the database),
  • No cookies or tracking technologies,
  • no persistent identifiers that could be traced back to individuals.

The source code of the TelemetryDeck SDK is completely open source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/TelemetryDeck

Further information on the exact data processing by TelemetryDeck can be found at: https://telemetrydeck.com/privacy and at https://telemetrydeck.com/docs/guides/privacy-faq/

Third Parties

We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties. The app does not contain advertising.

Subscriptions are handled entirely through Apple’s App Store. Payment information is managed by Apple and is not accessible to us.

Data Storage and Security

Your data remains on your device and in your private iCloud account. We do not operate servers that store your personal information.

Your Choices

You can delete all app data at any time by deleting the app from your device. If you use iCloud sync, you can manage or delete your data through your iCloud account settings.

Children’s Privacy

Beanstats is designed for adult coffee enthusiasts and is not intended for children under 13. Since all data is stored locally on your device and in your private iCloud account, any data can be removed by deleting the app or through your iCloud settings.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Updates will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
