This is what the site actually does. It is not a lawyer’s certificate.

Who this is for

Beans is a private household kitchen on Stovfam. The kitchen is behind sign-in. Public pages do not list your recipes.

What we keep

  • A session cookie named beans_session so you stay signed in. A theme cookie beans_theme remembers your Appearance choice: auto (follow the phone), light, or dark. The same choice is kept in this browser’s local storage.
  • Family logins: email and a password hash. Household login uses a shared password, not an email.
  • Recipes the household saves (ingredients, steps, notes, folders). Those are shared in this kitchen.
  • Freezer, week plan, grocery, and chat on each login — not published to other logins.
  • Table notes and groups among signed-in people on this kitchen. That table is not public.
  • Extras: which published credit cards a login carries, which credits it checked off, and card suggestions it sends.
  • Delete Me, for each login on its own: the US state you pick, which people-search sites you sent, removed, or skipped, the dates, and an optional private note (500 characters at most). If you use Autopilot, also the details you fill in under Tell us once (name, other names, city, ZIP, past places, birth year, emails, phones, a reply email, and a street address only if you turn it on), stored encrypted, plus a log of each request Beans emailed for you: the site, the broker’s published privacy address, the dates, and whether it went. Your details and the note are never logged and never sent to AI. Delete my details removes the details; Clear my Delete Me data, at the bottom of Delete Me, removes all of it.
  • A gathering link stores the name and phone a guest types, so the host can see who is coming. Other people on the link do not see those numbers. Beans does not send reminder texts.
  • Invite and password-reset mail, if SMTP is configured. Waitlist requests include the email you typed.
  • Optional extract helpers (AI, browser, nutrition lookup) only run on sources you paste or photos you send. Beans does not invent a recipe when a source cannot be read.

Palette (color analysis)

Palette is an optional color analysis under More › Extras. This is the same text it shows before you start.

  • Your color analyst is an AI. Each photo you take goes to our AI provider, Anthropic, so the analyst can look at it, check the light, and read your coloring. That's how your season is decided. In the draping room, your photo with the drapes on it goes too, so the analyst can recommend one.
  • Beans never saves your photos. Not on the server, not in the database, not in logs. Each photo is used for that one look and dropped.
  • We save your season, the analyst's notes and advice, the color numbers the phone measured (skin, hair and eyes), and your palette.
  • You can delete your palette any time. That removes everything saved for it.
  • Palette is for adults. Each person has to be 18 or older.
  • Face landmarks (the points that find your eyes and cheeks) are worked out on your phone and never leave it.
  • Event looks save the event’s name, date and kind, and the name and season of anyone you add by hand (no photo, no face). Guests on a Host invitation link never see any of it.
  • When the Palette AI is on, it gets the event’s name and kind and your color names to arrange the looks. Never a photo.

Share links

A recipe share is an unlisted link you mint on purpose. Search engines are asked not to index it. Anyone with the link can see that one card, not the rest of the kitchen.

What we do not do

  • No ad networks, no social pixels, no sale of kitchen data — we do not run ads.
  • No public recipe feed. Table is invite-only, on this kitchen, behind sign-in. Home is still “what are we cooking today?”
  • Delete Me never searches for you, never fills in or sends a site’s form, and never touches a site’s human check. Links to a site’s opt-out page carry nothing about you. Only when you allow it and tap Send, Autopilot emails a deletion and do-not-sell request in your name to each site that publishes a privacy address, from Beans, with your reply email for answers. It sends only the details you filled in, and only to the address on that site’s own page. If a letter bounces or a site answers the sender instead of you, that mail lands in the Beans mailbox the operator reads.
  • Beans is a web app. It is not listed on the App Store or Google Play.
