Privacy Policy
At Golden Bean Coffee, your privacy matters. We keep this simple: no analytics or advertising trackers. We use an optional contact form (Formspree) and an opt-in map (Google Maps). We store a simple preference in your browser (see local storage) if you choose “Always allow” for maps.

Scope
This policy applies to the Golden Bean Coffee website at cafe.jgerard.dev. It covers what happens when you browse our pages. It does not cover any other sites we may link to.
Our commitment
We do not run analytics or advertising trackers and we do not sell personal data. We collect the minimum necessary: what you voluntarily submit (for example, via our contact form) and a map-display preference stored in your browser. Third‑party features load only after you choose to use them.
Information we do not collect
- No customer accounts or logins
- No analytics or advertising IDs
- No automatic collection of personal details when you just browse
- No cookies set by us; we only store a simple map preference in your browser’s local storage
Third‑party services (e.g., Google Maps) may set cookies only after you opt in. See “Third‑party services & links” below.
Cookies & local storage
We do not set cookies. If you choose “Always allow” on the map prompt, we save a small preference in your browser’s local storage so the map can load automatically on future visits.
You can clear this preference anytime by clearing site data for cafe.jgerard.dev in your browser settings.
How we use information if you contact us
Whether you contact us directly or via the contact form (powered by Formspree), we use your details solely to respond to your request (such as catering or event inquiries). We do not sell your information or share it with third parties for marketing. For details on third‑party processing, see “Third‑party services & links.”
Data retention
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to handle your request and maintain routine business records, then we delete them unless we’re required by law to keep them longer. Your map preference in local storage remains until you clear site data.
Your privacy & security
Our site is delivered securely, and—with minimal data collection and no analytics or advertising trackers—your visit here remains private. If our technical setup changes in the future, we will update this page before any new data collection begins.
Third-party services & links
Google Maps (embed) loads only after you opt in. Google may set cookies and process data in line with its policies. Learn more at Google’s Privacy Policy.
Our contact form is powered by Formspree. Form submissions are processed by Formspree and delivered to us; see Formspree’s privacy policy for details.
Our website may include links to external sites (for example, social media). These sites have their own privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies.
Changes to this policy
If we add features that require cookies, forms, or analytics, we will update this policy and reflect those changes here. Please check back for the latest version.
