Privacy
Last updated 12 August 2026
Short version: we collect what we need to make search work and to let you order from a bakery. We don't sell your data, we don't run advertising trackers, and your card details never reach us — payment happens on the bakery's own Square checkout.
What we collect
When you search or browse
- The words you searched for, and what our engine understood by them.
- How many products matched, and whether the result came from keyword or semantic search.
- Your IP address, and an approximate city and country derived from it.
- Which pages you viewed, and roughly how long you stayed.
Page-view measurement is first-party and does not use cookies. IP addresses are automatically erased after 90 days — the rest of the record is kept without them, so we can see which searches fail without keeping a trail back to a person.
If you make an account
- Your email address and name.
- Your password, stored only as a bcrypt hash — we cannot read it or recover it.
- The items you save to your picks list.
If you order, review, or contact us
- Orders are placed on the bakery's own Square checkout. We never see or store your card number, CVV, or billing details.
- After a purchase, Square tells us the buyer's email address so we can invite a review or — if you asked for one — send an occasion reminder. Every reminder has a one-click opt-out.
- A review you write is public: your name as you give it, your rating and your words.
- Email you send to hello@bakeriesai.com is stored so anyone on our side can follow the conversation, rather than it sitting in one person's inbox.
- If you tell us whether a search helped, we keep that answer and any comment, attached to that search. We don't ask for your name or email to do it.
Cookies
Two, both ours, neither for advertising:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
adb_session | Keeps you signed in | 30 days |
ba_admin | Signs in our own staff to the admin console | 12 hours |
There is no third-party JavaScript on this site — no advertising pixels, no social widgets, no session recording, no cross-site tracking.
Who else sees your data
We use a small number of services to run the site. Each one gets only what it needs:
- Square — the bakeries' own systems. Product catalogues, availability and checkout. Your payment is theirs, not ours.
- Anthropic (Claude) — some searches and the AI Concierge send your query text so it can be understood. Your query is sent; your identity is not.
- Voyage AI / OpenAI — turn product descriptions into the numbers that power semantic search. This runs over the catalogue, not over you.
- Resend — sends and receives our email.
- MaxMind — an offline database we use to turn an IP into an approximate city. Nothing is sent to them.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for advertising.
Your choices
- Email hello@bakeriesai.com to see, correct or delete what we hold about you.
- Every reminder and marketing email has an unsubscribe link that works immediately.
- You can use the whole site — search, browse, click through to a bakery — without an account.
Children
This site is meant for adults ordering from bakeries. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes
If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top. Material changes will be announced on the site.
