Bezra Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 6, 2026

1. Overview

Bezra ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. It applies to all users of the Bezra web application (the "Service") and is governed by applicable United States federal and state privacy law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the CAN-SPAM Act where relevant.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Account data: email address and a securely hashed (bcrypt) password when you register.
  • Inventory & shopping data: food item names, quantities, expiry dates, and shopping list entries you enter into the Service.
  • Settings: optional location, zip code, and preferred grocery stores you configure.
  • Images and documents: photos you take or upload (food scans, grocery receipts) for AI analysis.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Session data: a server-side session token stored in a secure, HTTP-only cookie to keep you logged in.
  • Push notification tokens: browser push subscription endpoints and cryptographic keys if you opt in to notifications.
  • Server logs: standard web server logs (IP address, request path, timestamp, HTTP status) retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging.

2.3 What We Do Not Collect

We do not collect payment card numbers, Social Security numbers, government IDs, precise GPS coordinates, or any biometric identifiers.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Service.
  • Authenticate your identity and maintain your session.
  • Pass food images and receipt files to Anthropic's Claude API (see Section 4) for AI-powered item recognition and extraction.
  • Generate low-stock and expiry alerts, recipe suggestions, and price comparisons relevant to your inventory.
  • Deliver browser push notifications you have explicitly opted in to receive.
  • Investigate security incidents and comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your data for targeted advertising and we do not sell your personal information.

4. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

4.1 Anthropic (AI Processing)

When you scan food, upload a receipt, or request recipe suggestions, images, text, and contextual data are transmitted to Anthropic, PBC via its Claude API for AI inference. Anthropic processes this data subject to its own Privacy Policy and API usage policies. We do not store raw images on our servers after the API call completes.

4.2 Database Hosting

Your account and inventory data are stored in a hosted PostgreSQL database (Supabase). Data is encrypted at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+).

4.3 Hosting & Infrastructure

The Service is hosted on Vercel, Inc. Standard infrastructure logs may be retained by Vercel per their data processing terms.

4.4 Legal Disclosures

We may disclose personal information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Bezra, its users, or the public.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and inventory data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or legitimate security purposes (e.g., server logs).

6. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including TLS encryption in transit, bcrypt password hashing, HTTP-only session cookies, and server-side input sanitization. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

The Service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately at reggymarticus@aol.com and we will delete it promptly.

8. Your Privacy Rights

8.1 All Users

You may access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.

8.2 California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect and how it is used or disclosed.
  • Delete personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Opt out of sale or sharing of personal information — we do not sell or share your data.
  • Non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any CCPA rights.

To submit a verifiable consumer request, contact us at reggymarticus@aol.com. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.

8.3 Other U.S. State Privacy Laws

Residents of Virginia (CDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and other states with comprehensive privacy laws have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and port their data. Contact us to exercise these rights.

9. Push Notifications

If you opt in to push notifications, your browser generates a subscription object (endpoint URL and cryptographic keys) that we store to deliver alerts. You can revoke notification permission at any time in your browser settings or within theBezra Settings page, which will stop further notifications. Revoking permission does not delete your account or inventory data.

10. Cookies and Local Storage

We use one HTTP-only, Secure session cookie strictly necessary to authenticate you. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics. The Service also uses browser localStorage solely to track which alert notifications you have already seen, preventing duplicate alerts.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (e.g., via an in-app notice).
