Privacy Policy
1) Who we are
Craft Roast Atlas is a curated guide to independent coffee roasters worldwide. We are not a store; product links lead to the roaster’s own site.
- Controller: Craft Roast Atlas (“we”, “us”).
- Contact: support@craftroastatlas.com.
2) Data we collect
- Account data — email, display name, password hash (if you create a Taste profile).
- Saved boards & notes — roasters/beans you bookmark, your private notes and tags.
- Usage data — pages, clicks, device/browser, rough region (from IP).
- Technical logs — error reports to keep the site reliable.
- Contact messages — info you send by email or forms.
We do not collect payment details on this site because purchases happen on roasters’ sites.
3) How we use data
- Operate the site, personalize results and keep your boards in sync.
- Improve features and troubleshoot bugs using aggregated analytics.
- Send essential account emails (reset, security) and optional product updates if you opt in.
- Detect abuse (spam, scraping) and protect our users.
4) Legal bases
Under GDPR-style frameworks we rely on:
- Contract — to provide your account and saved boards.
- Legitimate interests — to maintain and improve the service, prevent abuse.
- Consent — for optional analytics or newsletters (where required).
7) Retention
Account and boards stay until you delete them. Logs and analytics are kept only as long as needed for security and performance tuning.
8) Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, rectify, delete, port, or object to processing of your personal data.
- Withdraw consent for optional analytics/newsletters where applicable.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data authority.
9) Security
We use TLS in transit, hashed passwords, scoped access for staff and routine backups. No method is 100% secure, but we work to minimize risk.
10) Children
The service isn’t directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). We don’t knowingly collect such data; contact us to remove it.
11) Changes
We’ll update this page when practices change and, for material changes, notify account holders by email or in-app notice.
12) Contact
