ArtisanBean Coffee Atlas — App Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This policy covers the ArtisanBean Coffee Atlas iPhone app provided by Artisan Bean. The app is a coffee education guide with personal Favorites and a tasting journal. The Artisan Bean online store and other websites have separate privacy practices.

No account. No app analytics or advertising trackers. Your saved coffee collection is not uploaded to Artisan Bean.

Information saved on your iPhone

The app saves the origins and reference topics you favorite, along with tasting journal entries you choose to create. Entries may include a coffee name, origin or blend, date, roast level, brew method, flavor notes, rating, and other notes.

It also remembers your last explored origin, roast selections, and expanded reading sections. This information is used on your device to display your collection and restore your reading preferences. Reference searches are processed in the app, not sent to Artisan Bean.

These records stay in the app’s private storage. The app does not send them to Artisan Bean, Shopify, an analytics provider, or an advertising service, and it does not provide an account or cloud-sync service.

Collection, sharing, and tracking

Artisan Bean does not collect personal information through the app’s native learning, Favorites, or journal features. The app has no analytics or advertising SDKs, does not access advertising identifiers, and does not track you across apps or websites. It does not sell or share your saved app records for advertising.

There is no registration or login. The app does not request access to your current location, contacts, camera, microphone, or photos.

Apple Maps and Apple services

The world map uses Apple’s MapKit to display fixed coffee-origin coordinates. It does not show or request your current location. Apple’s map service may process map requests and technical information needed to provide the map, under Apple’s privacy practices. Artisan Bean does not receive those map requests or use them to build a profile of you.

Apple may also process system diagnostics or TestFlight feedback according to your settings and Apple’s terms. The app does not add its own diagnostic-upload or analytics service.

External websites and support

Store invitations, blog articles, educational sources, and website-policy links open outside the app in your browser. Your journal, Favorites, and reading preferences are not attached to those links.

Websites may process information such as your IP address, cookies, browser details, contact information, or purchase details under their own policies. Shopping happens on ArtisanBean.com, which is powered by Shopify, not in the app. The online store’s privacy policy describes its collection, payments, marketing, and cookies separately.

If you choose to contact Artisan Bean through its website, the information you submit is handled under the website’s privacy policy. Avoid including sensitive journal information in a support request unless you intend to share it.

Retention, backups, and deletion

Saved records remain on your device until you change or remove them. You can remove a Favorite by tapping its saved bookmark again, and you can edit or delete tasting entries in the journal. Reading preferences are updated as you use the guides.

To remove all of this app’s local records and preferences, use iOS Settings to delete the app, rather than offload it. Artisan Bean has no server-side copy of your saved collection to retrieve or delete.

Depending on your Apple settings, iOS may include app data in device backups or device transfers. This is different from app-provided cloud sync. Manage those copies through your device and backup settings; deleting an entry or the app does not delete an existing backup, and restoring a backup may restore saved records.

Security and children’s privacy

Local data is stored in the app’s private iOS storage. Keep your device protected with a passcode and current software. No storage or security method can be guaranteed completely secure.

The app does not request or collect personal information from children through its native features. External websites and purchases are governed by those sites’ own policies and requirements.

Changes and contact

If the app’s privacy practices change, this policy and the relevant App Store privacy disclosures will be updated. The date above identifies this policy version.

For app privacy questions, contact Artisan Bean. You do not need to send us your journal or Favorites to use the app.
