This Privacy Policy explains how BeanyBots LLC ("BeanyBots," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit beanybots.com or use our related products and services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you submit, along with anything else you choose to include.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and network provider automatically logs basic technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and timestamps — for security, performance, and reliability.

Cookies and tracking. Our website does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics or ad networks. Any cookies used are strictly necessary for the site to function.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Services;
• detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse; and
• comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as described below:

• Service providers. We use trusted vendors to run the Services, including Cloudflare (website hosting, content delivery, and network security) and Resend (delivery of contact-form emails). These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own terms and privacy commitments.
• Legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of BeanyBots, our users, or others.
• Business transfers. If BeanyBots is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Data Retention

We retain contact-form submissions for as long as needed to respond to you and for our legitimate business and legal purposes, after which we delete or anonymize them. Automatically collected log data is retained for a limited period consistent with our providers' practices.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including serving the site over encrypted HTTPS connections. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@beanybots.com and we will respond as required by applicable law.

7. Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to: know what personal information we collect and how we use it; request access to or deletion of your personal information; request correction of inaccurate information; and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, email us at contact@beanybots.com. We will verify your request as required by law.

8. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. International Users

BeanyBots is based in the United States, and your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate. By using the Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in these locations.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
