Privacy Policy

Finite Bean ("we", "us", "our") runs this website, finitebean.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what personal data the Site itself collects, if any, and why.

This Site is separate from the Finite Bean Math Tutor app and Bean Social. If you create an account or buy something through the Math Tutor app, that's covered by the app's own Privacy Policy, which goes into far more detail since the app handles accounts and payments. Bean Social has its own separate Privacy Policy too. You can have a Bean Social account without a Math Tutor account.

We are based in the United Kingdom. This policy is written to reflect UK GDPR and EU GDPR principles.

What this Site collects

Very little. This Site doesn't have accounts, doesn't set tracking or advertising cookies, and doesn't run analytics scripts. There are two places personal data can pass through the Site:

• The "Get in Touch" form. This doesn't send anything to a server we run. It opens your own email client with your name, email, and message pre-filled, ready for you to send to us yourself. If you go ahead and send that email, we receive it the same way we'd receive any other email you sent us directly.
• The email signup we used to have on our "coming soon" pages is now closed. If you signed up before, your email was only used to tell you when a product launched. We don't share it with anyone outside Finite Bean, and you can ask us to delete it at any time by contacting us below.

Cookies

This Site does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. Your browser may still make its own local choices (like remembering scroll position), which aren't something we control or receive data from.

Links to other sites

This Site links out to YouTube, Instagram, Linktree, and the separate Finite Bean Math Tutor app. Each of those is responsible for its own data practices, and this policy only covers this Site itself.

Google user data (Finite Bean Math Tutor)

Finite Bean Math Tutor can optionally connect to your Google Calendar. This section explains exactly how Google user data is handled. The full Math Tutor privacy policy is at finitebean.com/mathtutor/privacy.

• What we access: your Google account email address (to show which account is connected), and one Google Calendar permission, "calendar.app.created". It lets Math Tutor create one separate calendar called "Finite Bean Study Schedule" in your Google account and add, change and delete events in that calendar only. We cannot see or change any of your other calendars or events.
• How we use it: only to copy the study sessions and reminders you create in Math Tutor's Assistant into the Finite Bean Study Schedule calendar, keep them up to date when you change or delete them, and show that calendar's events in the Assistant. We do not use Google user data for advertising, for analytics on its content, or to develop, improve or train any AI or machine learning model.
• Who we share it with: no one. Google user data is never sold, shared, transferred or disclosed to any third party, including advertisers, data brokers or AI providers. It is only used by Finite Bean's own servers to provide the feature above.
• How we protect it: the Google access tokens are stored encrypted at rest in our database, sent only over encrypted HTTPS (TLS) connections, readable only by the server code that syncs your calendar, and never exposed to the browser or to other users. Database access is locked down with row-level security, and only Finite Bean staff who need it can reach the systems.
• Keeping and deleting it: you can disconnect Google Calendar at any time from Account in Math Tutor. When you disconnect, or delete your account, we delete the stored tokens straight away and stop syncing. We keep no Google Calendar data after that. You can also remove access from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Finite Bean's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Children's privacy

This Site doesn't ask for personal details. The Math Tutor app has its own age-appropriate signup process, described in its Privacy Policy.

Your rights

Since we don't hold any personal data collected through this Site, there's generally nothing here for us to give you access to, correct, or delete. If you've emailed us directly, you can ask us to delete that correspondence at any time by contacting us below. UK/EU residents also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Site changes. We'll update the "last updated" date above whenever we make a change.
