Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 June 2026
BeakonHub (“we”, “us”) operates beakonhub.com. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights under UK GDPR and PECR.
Who we are
BeakonHub provides QA automation content and free testing tools for software engineers. For privacy enquiries, contact us via our Contact page.
What we collect
- Usage analytics — Google Analytics (MonsterInsights) collects anonymised page views, device type, and referral source.
- Marketing / email — Omnisend may collect email addresses if you subscribe to a newsletter or marketing form.
- Feedback — UserFeedback may collect optional survey responses you submit.
- AI-assisted tools — If you use the Test Data Generator AI feature, your schema prompt is sent to our AI Engine integration to generate a field schema. We do not store generated fixtures on our servers; data generation runs in your browser.
