Privacy policy.
Effective October 1, 2026. Last reviewed October 29, 2026.
The short version
We do not require an account. We use basic server logs to keep the site working, and affiliate links may set cookies once you leave for a retailer.
BrewVibe Lab (“BrewVibe”, “we”, “us”) publishes free coffee brewing guides at brewvibelab.com. This policy explains what information is processed when you visit the site and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
We do not operate user accounts or ask you to submit personal information to read a guide. Standard technical data may be processed by our hosting provider, such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, requested URL, and timestamps. This data is used for security, diagnostics, and aggregate traffic measurement.
Cookies and local storage
The core site does not require advertising cookies to function. Third-party services — including retailers reached through affiliate links — may set their own cookies after you follow a link. Those cookies are controlled by the destination site and its privacy policy, not by BrewVibe Lab.
Analytics
If privacy-respecting analytics are enabled, they are used only to understand aggregate page performance and improve guides. We do not sell personal information or build individual advertising profiles.
Affiliate links
Some gear recommendations contain affiliate links. When you follow one, the retailer may record that the visit came from BrewVibe Lab and may pay us a commission if you make a purchase. This does not increase the price you pay. Read our affiliate disclosure for more detail.
How information is used
- To deliver and secure the website.
- To diagnose errors and improve page performance.
- To understand which guides are useful to readers.
- To comply with legal obligations where applicable.
Data retention and security
Server logs are retained only as long as needed for operational and security purposes. We use reputable infrastructure providers and reasonable technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal data. To make a request, contact us at privacy@brewvibelab.com. We may need to verify your request before responding.
Children
BrewVibe Lab is a general-audience coffee education site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or applicable laws change. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date on this page.
