Privacy Policy

Coffee Journal ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit this Website and use the Coffee Journal app.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

The Website does not require an account. The only personal information we receive is what you choose to send us — for example, your email address and message when you contact us.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Website, we may automatically collect:

• Device information: browser type, operating system, and device type
• Usage data: pages visited, time spent, and navigation patterns
• Log data: IP address, access times, and referring website addresses

2. How We Use Information

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Website and its content
• Respond to your inquiries and support requests
• Understand aggregate, anonymized usage to improve the experience
• Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity

3. The Coffee Journal App

The iOS app is built to be private by default. Your beans, drinks, recipes, photos, notes, and ratings are stored locally on your device. The app does not require an account, and your journal is not uploaded to our servers. Photos you add are stored only inside your journal and are never uploaded or shared.

4. Cookies and Analytics

The Website may use cookies and privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic and improve performance. Any analytics data is anonymized and used solely to improve the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Third Parties

We use trusted providers to host and serve the Website. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information, and we do not include third-party advertising or cross-site tracking.

6. Data Security

We apply appropriate technical measures to protect information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
• Access controls on our systems
• Regular security reviews

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port the personal data we hold about you, and to opt out of any marketing communications. To exercise these rights, contact us and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Data Retention

We keep contact correspondence only as long as needed to respond and for legitimate business or legal purposes. Anonymous analytics data may be retained to understand long-term usage trends. Your in-app journal is retained on your device until you delete it.

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. International Data Transfers

Information may be processed in the United States, where our servers are located. By using the Website you consent to this transfer, which may involve different data-protection laws than your country of residence.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the "Last updated" date.
