Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.beanrank.com/. We are an independent coffee equipment review site dedicated to helping coffee enthusiasts make informed purchasing decisions.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://www.beanrank.com/privacy-policy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
BeanRank may use cookies, local storage, server logs, analytics tools, advertising services, affiliate tracking tools, and similar technologies to operate the site, measure traffic, understand which coffee equipment reviews and buying guides are useful, prevent abuse, support affiliate attribution, and support advertising or affiliate-funded content.
BeanRank may use Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, affiliate networks, or similar services. Google and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to deliver ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, detect invalid traffic, and personalize advertising where allowed. Affiliate partners may also use cookies or tracking technologies after you click from BeanRank to their sites.
For visitors in regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, non-essential advertising or analytics cookies should be controlled through Google consent messages or another consent management tool before personalized advertising cookies are used.
You can learn more in our Cookie Policy.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects anonymized data including pages visited, time on site, and referring URLs. No personally identifiable information is collected unless you voluntarily submit it through our comment form. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we have personally tested or thoroughly researched. Our reviews and ratings are never influenced by affiliate partnerships. For more details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties, except as necessary to operate the website (e.g., spam detection service for comments, analytics provider).
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
