anybean is a loyalty card shared by a network of independent coffee shops. The anybean app and website are made and run by Eighty Four Degrees Ltd, England. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. It is written in plain English on purpose.
What we collect
Your first name. You enter it when you first open the app. It is shown to the shop when your card is scanned, so they can say hello. It is optional and you can change it at any time.
Your email address, if you link one. Linking an email lets your beans follow you to a new phone and lets you sign in again. We send a six-digit code to that address to confirm it is yours. If you never link an email, we never have it.
Your card code. The app makes a code for your card. It identifies your card when a shop scans it. You can reissue it from the Account tab at any time, and the old code stops working.
Your beans. Every bean collected and every free coffee spent is recorded with the shop it happened at and when. That record is your Beans tab, and it is how every shop in the network can see one balance.
How you use the app. We record which screens you open and what you tap, tied to an anonymous install id rather than to you. We use this to see what works and what does not. It stays on our own servers; we do not use third-party analytics or advertising tools.
Shop photos and details. If you run a shop in the network, the photos, description and facilities you add are published on the shop's page.
What we do not collect
We do not keep your location. If you allow it, the Shops tab sends your position to our server when you search for shops near you, so it can sort them by distance. It is used for that one search and never stored or logged. We do not take payment details: beans are loyalty stamps, not money. We do not sell or share your information with anyone outside Eighty Four Degrees Ltd and the shop that scans your card, who sees only your first name and your bean count.
Where it is kept
On servers run by Eighty Four Degrees Ltd in the European Union, over encrypted connections. We keep your information for as long as you have a card. If you delete your account, it is removed.
Your choices
- You can use the app without ever linking an email.
- You can change or remove your first name in the Account tab.
- You can reissue your card code if a phone goes missing.
- You can delete your account from the Account tab, or ask us to: see the data deletion page.
- You can ask what we hold about you by emailing hello@anybean.coffee.
