Bean Box Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 30, 2022

For our general Terms of Service, please see Terms of Service. Acceptance of our Terms of Service also incorporates this policy and its terms.

This Privacy Policy explains how Bean Box, Inc. ("Bean Box") and beanbox.com, a site owned and operated by Bean Box, and the Bean Box mobile app, available for both iOS and Android, collects, uses and discloses information about you when you use our websites, mobile applications and other products or services (collectively, the "Services"), or when you otherwise interact with us.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy, and in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access or use the Services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

Collection of Information

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you make a purchase, create an account, create and share recommendations or participate in any other interactive features of the Services, request customer support, participate in a survey, contest or promotion or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we collect may include your name, email address, username, password, photos, address, payment method, and associated information (e.g., comments, messages, custom tags and search queries) and any other information you choose to provide.

In some cases, we may also collect information you provide about others. For example, when you order a Bean Box Gift, we may collect the name, phone number, address, and/or email address of the recipient, but note that we will use this information only for purposes of fulfilling your request.

Information We Collect From Other Sources

We may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through the Services. For example, if you create or log in to your account through, or using your credentials from, a third-party social media site, we will have access to certain information from that site, such as your name, account information and friends lists, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such third-party social media site.

Social Sharing Features

The Services may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook "Like" button), which let you share actions you take on the Services with other media, and vice versa. The use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.

We may allow others to provide analytics services in connection with the Services. These entities may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by Bean Box and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand your online activity.

We work with analytics providers such as Google Analytics and others, which use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Site and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Bean Box takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Your Choices

Cookies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services.

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to Do Not Track signals, our website does not currently respond to such signals.
