5. advertising and remarketing

We display advertisements on our website through our own Beansider Partnership Ads network (details: Beansider For Business).

Additionally, we use remarketing services, specifically Google Ads (AdWords), to advertise on third-party websites to previous visitors to our site. This means we may advertise to previous visitors who haven't completed a task on our site. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google's privacy policy.

6. payments

We offer paid products and/or services on our website. We use third-party services for payment processing. We do not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. The payment processors we work with are:

  • PayPal
  • Bank Transfer

7. bot protection (invisible recaptcha)

We use Invisible reCAPTCHA provided by Google to protect our website from spam and abuse. Use of the Invisible reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

8. gdpr data protection rights (europe)

We would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user within the European Union is entitled to the following:

9. ccpa/cpra and caloppa privacy rights (california)

  • Be protected from discrimination for exercising their CCPA rights.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

10. children's information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13 (in compliance with COPPA). If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
