Beam Analytics Privacy Policy

TL;DR: For visitors to beamanalytics.io, we do not use cookies and we do not collect any personal data. If you decide to create an account, we ask for the bare minimum and only share it with services that are absolutely necessary for the app to function.

At Beam Analytics, we are committed to complying with GDPR, CCPA, PECR and other privacy regulations. The privacy of your data is important to us. We promise that we will never sell your data.

In this policy, we lay out what data we collect and why, how your data is handled and your rights to your data. If you have placed the Beam Analytics script on your website, take a look at our data policy for details on the information we do collect about your website visitors on your behalf.

Visitors to the beamanalytics.io website

The privacy of our website visitors is important to us. We do not track any individual people. As a visitor to the beamanalytics.io website:

  • No personal information is collected
  • No information such as cookies is stored in the browser
  • No information is shared with, sent to or sold to third-parties
  • No information is shared with advertising companies
  • No information is mined and harvested for personal trends
  • No information is monetized

We run the Beam Analytics script to collect some anonymous usage data for statistical purposes. The goal is to track overall trends in our website traffic. It is not to track individual visitors. All the data is in aggregate only. No personal data is collected.

Data collected includes referral sources, top pages, visit duration, information from the devices (device type, operating system, country and browser) used during the visit and more.

Customers and subscribers of Beam Analytics

We collect only what we need. We will solely process this information to provide you with the service you signed up for.

We use a select number of trusted external service providers for certain service offerings. These service providers are carefully selected and meet high data protection, data privacy and security standards.

We only share information with them that is required for the services offered and we contractually bind them to keep any information we share with them confidential and to process personal data only according to our instructions.

Here’s what that means in practice:

What we collect and what we use it for

  • An email address is required to create an account. You need to provide us with your email address if you want to create a Beam Analytics account. That’s just so you can log in and personalize your new account, and we can send you invoices, updates or other essential information.
  • A persistent first-party cookie is stored to remember you’re logged in. If you log in to your Beam account, you give us permission to use cookies so you don’t have to log in on each returning session. This makes it easier for you to use our product. A cookie is a piece of text stored by your browser. You can adjust cookie retention settings in your own browser. Cookies that are already stored may be deleted at any time.
  • All of the data that we collect is kept fully secured, encrypted and hosted in the European Union. This ensures that all of the site data is being covered by the European Union’s strict laws on data privacy. Your site data never leaves the EU.
  • The payment process is handled by a third-party payment provider. If you choose to upgrade to a Beam Analytics paid plan, the billing information and the payment process is handled by Stripe. See the Stripe Privacy Policy for full details.
  • All emails are sent using a third-party email provider. Transactional emails and email reports (should you choose to subscribe to them) are sent using Postmark. We have disabled both open tracking and link tracking on all emails sent. See the Postmark Privacy Policy for full details.
  • When you write to us with a question or to ask for help. We keep that correspondence, which includes the email address, so that we have a history of past correspondences to reference if you reach out in the future. We use this data solely in connection with answering the queries we receive.

Retention of data

We will retain your information as long as your account is active, as necessary to provide you with the services or as otherwise set forth in this policy.

We will also retain and use this information as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and protect Beam’s legal rights.

You can access or correct any personal data of yours that we store. You can also object to any processing of such data. You can choose to delete your Beam Analytics account at any time. All your data will be permanently deleted immediately when you delete your account. To do any of this, please contact us at hi@beamanalytics.io.

Changes and questions

We may update this policy as needed to comply with relevant regulations and reflect any new practices. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will also announce them on our company blog or social media profiles.

Contact us at hi@beamanalytics.io if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this privacy policy, your data, or your rights with respect to your information.
