Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 23, 2026

BeerCanTracker is operated by Kramer Software LLC. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it simple: we collect only what the service needs, and we do not sell or share your personal information. The only advertising on the Service is affiliate links to marketplace listings, such as eBay listings we may earn a commission from. These links are the same for every visitor: they are not personalized, and they use no tracking or advertising cookies on our site.

Information we collect

• Account information: a username, an email address, and a password. Passwords are stored only in hashed form; we cannot see them.
• Collection activity: the collections and wishlists you create, including the cans you add to them.
• Sign-in records: the time of your last sign-in and your active sessions, kept for account security.

We do not collect payment information. If we add paid memberships, payments will be handled by dedicated payment processors and this policy will be updated before launch.

Cookies

We use essential cookies only: a session cookie that keeps you signed in. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

Usage measurement

To understand which pages and features are useful, we count visits and actions (for example, page views and searches) using our own systems. This measurement uses no cookies and no third-party analytics services. Anonymous visits are counted with a short-lived code that changes every day and cannot identify you or follow you across days. We also note an approximate location (country and state) using a lookup that runs entirely on our own server; your IP address is not sent to anyone else and is not stored with any of this data.

How we use your information

We use the information above to provide your account, save your collections and wishlists, keep the service secure, and respond when you contact us. That is the full list.

Third-party services

• Hosting: the site and its database run on cloud infrastructure providers, which process data on our behalf.
• AI descriptions: some can descriptions are generated with Google's Gemini models from catalog data about the cans. No personal information is sent to these models.
• Marketplace listings: some pages show current listings from marketplaces such as eBay, with links to those sites. These are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission on purchases, but we send no personal information to marketplaces and the links are the same for every visitor. Once you follow a link, that site's own privacy policy applies.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account and your personal information at any time using the contact below, and we will honor the request. Content about cans that you contribute to the database, such as uploaded can images, belongs to Kramer Software LLC under our Terms of Service: after a deletion request it is kept in de-identified form, with no connection to you.

Security

Traffic to the site is encrypted with HTTPS, passwords are stored only in hashed form, and access to production data is restricted.

Children

BeerCanTracker is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your rights

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Depending on where you live, these rights may also be guaranteed by law. Contact us and we will respond.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date. For significant changes we will note it on the site.
