Privacy Policy
How Frostline collects, uses, and protects your information.
1. Who we are
Frostline is operated by BLACK FROST DISTILLING, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company with its registered office at 201 1st Street North, New Ulm, Minnesota, United States ("Frostline", "we", "us"). You can reach us at support@debtidepot.com.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit debtidepot.com and use our brewing-recipe and brew-reel generation service (the "Service"), why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA").
By using Frostline you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. What we collect
We collect personal information in the following categories.
2.1 Account information
When you create an account or sign in, we receive your email address, name (if you provide one), authentication identifier issued by our identity provider, and any profile fields you choose to fill in.
2.2 Brewing inputs
When you use the Service we receive the bean-bag photos you upload, the brew-method, equipment, flavor target, and any free-text prompts you submit. This is the data we need to generate your recipe and your reel.
2.3 Generated outputs
We store the recipes, recipe-card images, and brew-reel videos we generate for you so that you can return to them and download them.
2.4 Billing and transaction data
If you purchase a paid plan or a credit pack, our payment processor Stripe collects your payment-method details, billing name and address, and the country your card was issued in. We receive a record of the purchase, the plan or credits purchased, the amount, and a payment identifier; we do not see or store full card numbers.
2.5 Usage and device data
We log feature usage, request and response timestamps, credit consumption, plan status, IP address, user agent, browser language, device type and approximate location derived from IP. We use access logs to operate, secure and bill the Service.
2.6 Communications
When you write to support@debtidepot.com or open a support thread, we keep the messages you send and the replies we send you.
2.7 Cookies and similar technologies
We and our processors set cookies and use local storage as described in our Cookie Policy. The technologies we use are limited to what is necessary to operate the Service and to optional analytics that you can decline.
3. Why we use it
We use your personal information to:
- create and manage your account, deliver authentication and prevent abuse;
- accept your brewing input, run it through our AI providers, and return your recipe and reel;
- track credits, send invoices, process refunds and respond to disputes;
- provide customer support and security monitoring;
- comply with legal obligations including tax, anti-fraud, and content-safety reporting;
- improve the reliability of the Service through aggregated, de-identified analytics.
We do not use your brewing inputs to train any third-party foundation model. We do not sell your personal information.
4. Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)
Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal information on the following bases:
- Contract to provide the Service and bill you for it;
- Legitimate interests to secure the Service, prevent abuse, and improve reliability;
- Consent for optional analytics or marketing cookies, which you can withdraw at any time;
- Legal obligation to retain records required by tax, accounting and consumer-protection laws.
