Effective Date: March 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how CostBeacon ("Company," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the CostBeacon platform and related services (the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, company name, billing information, and account credentials.

Cloud Infrastructure Data

When you connect cloud services such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or Google Cloud, the Service may access infrastructure metadata necessary to perform analysis. This may include resource configuration data, usage metrics, cost and billing metadata, and resource identifiers.

We do not access or store application data or customer content hosted in your cloud infrastructure.

Usage Data

We may automatically collect information about how the Service is used, including pages visited, feature usage, device information, IP address, and browser type. This helps us improve platform functionality and performance.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Service may use cookies or similar technologies to maintain user sessions, remember preferences, and analyze platform usage. You may configure your browser to reject cookies, though this may affect certain features.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide and maintain the Service
  • Analyze cloud environments and generate optimization insights
  • Process billing and subscriptions
  • Communicate with users
  • Improve product functionality
  • Detect and prevent security issues

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent user data.

We may share information with trusted third-party providers necessary to operate the Service, including cloud hosting providers, payment processors, analytics services, and infrastructure monitoring services. These providers are required to protect data and use it only for authorized purposes.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect user information. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Users may request account deletion, which will remove associated personal data except where retention is required by law.

6. Third-Party Services

The Service may integrate with third-party services such as cloud providers and payment processors. These services operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage users to review them.
