- User-Generated Content (UGC): We store the recipes, brewing scores, and calculator inputs you create. This data is hosted on Firebase databases so you can save and retrieve your work.

- Technical Data: Bluehost (our hosting provider) logs certain technical data such as your IP address and browser type for security and server health monitoring.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

- Google Firebase: For user authentication and database storage of your recipes/tools.
- Stripe: For secure payment processing.
- Google Analytics: For website traffic analysis.
4. Affiliate Links & Cookies
Our website contains affiliate links (including Amazon).
- How it works: When you click an affiliate link, a small file called a “cookie” is placed on your device by the retailer. This allows them to recognize that you came from our site so we can receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
- Control: You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.
5. Data Security & International Transfers
Because we use services like Firebase and Stripe, your data may be processed on servers located in the United States. We ensure these providers adhere to high security standards and utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure your data is protected to the same standard as it is in the UK.
