Updated: September 29, 2026
Pending owner and legal review
This page mirrors the published Beseam privacy copy dated September 29, 2026 (source: landings/beseam-site/src/app/privacy-policy/index.mdx). It has not yet been confirmed as the authoritative in-app version. Owner and legal review is required before this text is treated as final; contact [email protected] with any question about scope or accuracy.
This Privacy Policy explains how Beseam ("Beseam", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you visit our website or use our ecommerce visibility, audit, monitoring, recommendation, publishing, and related services (together, the "Service").
The controller responsible for the processing described here is Beseam, Hugelstrasse 8, 8002 Zürich, Switzerland ([email protected]).
If a customer uses Beseam to process personal data on its behalf, that customer may be the controller and Beseam may act as a processor. Any separate data processing agreement will apply to that processing.
Data you provide
Please do not submit sensitive personal data unless we specifically request it and it is necessary for the Service.
Store, integration, and service data
The exact data depends on the features and integrations you enable.
Data collected automatically
Data from public and third-party sources
We may collect information from public storefronts, product pages, feeds, search results, AI-assisted shopping surfaces, and services you connect. We may combine that information with data you provide so we can run checks, identify gaps, and monitor changes.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on:
When we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the impact on your rights and do not use this basis where your interests override ours.
The Service may submit questions, public store content, product data, and related technical information to AI, search, or commerce providers to perform a check or deliver a feature. Those providers may process the submitted information under their own terms or under service arrangements with us.
AI-assisted outputs can be incomplete or inaccurate. Beseam does not use these outputs to make decisions about individuals that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Customers remain responsible for reviewing recommendations and approving changes to their stores.
We use essential browser storage and similar technologies to operate and secure the Service and remember choices. Optional Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager scripts load only after you accept analytics cookies. If accepted, they may collect page views, interactions, device and connection information, and campaign data to help us understand website performance.
If you accept, we also run Umami, a product analytics tool hosted on our own infrastructure. It sets no cookies. It records the pages you visit, the referring page, campaign tags and ad-click identifiers, your browser, operating system, device type, screen size and language, and an approximate location derived from your IP address, which it does not store. It also records which steps of sign-up, store setup and your first fixes you complete, how many markets, channels and products you choose, and actions such as starting a scan, viewing or sharing a report, or clicking a button. Page titles and every other part of a link -- including a store address you enter to check -- are removed before anything is sent. Umami data is deleted after 13 months.
You can reject optional analytics without losing access. You can change your choice by clearing this site’s browser storage, which will cause the consent prompt to appear again. Full detail is in our Cookie Policy.
We may share personal data only as needed with:
We do not sell personal data.
We are based in Switzerland, and our providers may process data in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, or other countries. Where required, we use recognized safeguards for international transfers, such as adequacy decisions or approved contractual clauses.
We retain personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described above. The period depends on the type of data, the Service feature, our relationship with you, security needs, and legal or accounting requirements.
When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it unless we must retain it by law. Backup copies may remain for a limited period before being overwritten.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for protecting your credentials and for promptly telling us if you suspect unauthorized access to your account or integration.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
To exercise a right, email [email protected]. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity. Rights may be limited where an exception under applicable law applies.
In Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner. If you are in the EEA or United Kingdom, you may also contact your local supervisory authority.
The Service is intended for businesses and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party sites and services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices, and we are not responsible for those practices.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Service or legal requirements change. We will post the revised version here and update the date above. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide additional notice where required.
Questions or privacy requests can be sent to [email protected] or mailed to Beseam, Hugelstrasse 8, 8002 Zürich, Switzerland. You can also reach us through the in-app support channel.
