Data Storage and International Transfers
Where We Store Your Information
Our servers are located in the United States, which means information you provide may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. Data protection laws in the United States may differ from those in your home country.
Protection for International Transfers
If you’re located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we take additional steps to protect your data during international transfers. We comply with the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)—legally binding agreements that ensure your information receives protection equivalent to European data protection standards.

Keeping Your Information Safe
Our Security Measures
We take data security seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures are designed to maintain confidentiality and integrity throughout data processing.
Important Security Limitations
Despite our best efforts, no electronic transmission or storage method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or unauthorized parties will never breach our security measures. Any information you transmit to our website is at your own risk.

You can enhance security by:

If we discover that we’ve inadvertently collected information from someone under 13, we will delete it immediately. Parents or guardians who believe we may have information about a child under 13 should contact us at [email protected].
Nutritional Data Accuracy and Sources
How We Compile Nutritional Information
Our nutritional data comes from multiple sources to provide the most comprehensive information possible:
Official Starbucks Data: Standard menu items use nutritional information published on Starbucks’ official website Public Nutritional Databases: We reference established nutritional databases for ingredient values Community Insights: We incorporate information shared by users on platforms like Reddit (r/1200isplenty, r/starbucks) who frequently customize orders and track macros Mathematical Estimation: For customizations, we calculate nutritional values based on ingredient composition and standard portions
Important Accuracy Disclaimer
While we strive for accuracy, nutritional values may not be 100% precise due to:
- Regional variations in ingredient formulations
- Differences in portion sizes across locations
- Supplier variations and seasonal ingredient changes
- Preparation inconsistencies
- Unofficial nutritional data for certain customizations
For Medical or Dietary Decisions: Always consult Starbucks’ official nutritional resources or speak with a registered dietitian. Our tool provides helpful estimates for tracking purposes but shouldn’t replace professional nutritional advice, especially if you have allergies, dietary restrictions, or health concerns.
How We Actually Handle Your Data
Our Practical Approach
We want to be transparent about our actual data practices. In reality, we collect very little personal information. The only details we might have are your name and email address—and only when you contact us directly through our contact form or email.
Data Retention Practices
Most of the time, we delete correspondence once we’ve resolved your inquiry or addressed your question. However, we do keep appreciation messages from users who express gratitude for our work. These positive emails serve as motivation and encouragement to continue improving the platform.
We don’t maintain extensive databases of user information or create detailed user profiles. Our focus is on providing a helpful calculator tool, not on collecting personal data.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service improvements. When we make updates, we’ll change the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
Significant Changes: If we make major changes that substantially affect how we handle your information, we’ll notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website or sending direct notification if we have your contact information.
