Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 7, 2026
Our Commitment
CoffeeBase is an educational resource dedicated to sharing coffee knowledge. We believe in transparency about how we handle information. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we protect your privacy.
What We Collect
CoffeeBase is a read-only informational website. We do not require user accounts, logins, or personal information to access our content.
Analytics Data
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Cloudflare Analytics is a privacy-first analytics tool that:
- Does not use cookies for tracking
- Does not collect personal identifying information
- Does not track users across websites
- Collects only aggregated, anonymized page view and performance data
Server Logs
Our CDN provider (Cloudflare) processes standard server logs that may include IP addresses, browser type, and referring pages. These logs are used solely for security and performance purposes and are automatically purged according to Cloudflare's retention policies.
What We Do Not Collect
- Names, email addresses, or contact information
- Payment or financial data
- Location data beyond country-level aggregation
- Social media profiles or identifiers
- Any data from children under 13
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
| Service | Purpose | Data Processed |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | CDN, DDoS protection, DNS | IP addresses (for security), performance metrics |
| Cloudflare Analytics | Privacy-first web analytics | Anonymized page views, referrers, browser type |
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising tracking services.
Cookies
CoffeeBase uses only essential cookies required for security and site functionality through Cloudflare. We do not use advertising, tracking, or preference cookies. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Because we collect minimal, anonymized data, most data subject rights (access, deletion, portability) are satisfied by default — there is no personal data to retrieve or delete. However, if you have questions or concerns about your data, you have the right to:
- Request information about what data, if any, we hold about you
- Request deletion of any data associated with you
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
- Opt out of analytics by using a standard ad blocker or Do Not Track browser setting
Data Security
All traffic to coffeebase.org is served over HTTPS with TLS encryption. We rely on Cloudflare's enterprise-grade security infrastructure to protect against threats and unauthorized access.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be noted with an updated revision date at the top of this page.
