Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Coffee Bean Index (“we,” “us”) collects when you use coffeebeanindex.com (the “Site”), how that information is used, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

• Email address: collected only if you sign up for price-drop alerts or our newsletter through a form on the Site. Signing up is voluntary.
• Usage data: pages viewed, referring site, browser type, and approximate location, collected automatically through analytics and our content delivery network.
• Cookies: small files stored by your browser, used for analytics, caching, and affiliate tracking (see below).

We do not collect payment details. Purchases happen on the retailer’s own site, not here.

How We Use Your Information

• To send the price-drop alerts and newsletters you sign up for.
• To understand which content is useful and improve the Site.
• To operate, secure, and speed up the Site.

We do not sell your personal information.

Email and Newsletters

Email sign-ups are managed through Beehiiv, our email provider. When you subscribe, your email address is stored and processed by Beehiiv on our behalf. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. Beehiiv’s own privacy policy governs how it handles your data.

Affiliate Links and Cookies

Coffee Bean Index contains affiliate links. When you click one and visit a retailer, that retailer (for example Amazon, or a roaster’s affiliate network such as ShareASale, Impact, or CJ Affiliate) may set a cookie that credits us with a commission if you make a qualifying purchase. These cookies are set by the retailer, not by us, and are governed by the retailer’s own privacy policy. Using an affiliate link never changes the price you pay.

Analytics and Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of third-party services to run the Site, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Analytics: to measure traffic and content performance in aggregate.
• Cloudflare: content delivery and security; it processes request data to protect and speed up the Site.
• Beehiiv: email delivery for subscribers.
• Affiliate networks: Amazon Associates and roaster affiliate programs, as described above.

Your Choices and Rights

• Email: unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
• Cookies: block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work as well.
• Access or deletion: depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA), you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it. Contact us using the details below.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the Site changes. The “last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
