Kafé ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Kafé iOS application and website (collectively, the "Service").

Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Camera data: Images captured using your device camera to scan coffee bags. Images are processed to identify coffee products and are not stored on our servers beyond the duration of the scan.
  • Usage data: Anonymized data about how you interact with the app (e.g., features used, scan frequency) to improve the Service.
  • Device information: Device type, operating system version, and app version for diagnostic and compatibility purposes.

We do not collect your name, email address, or payment information unless you explicitly provide it (e.g., when contacting support).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and improve the coffee scanning and identification features
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve the user experience
  • Diagnose technical issues and ensure app stability
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with partners for analytics purposes. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Kafé and its users.

4. Data Retention

We retain usage data in anonymized form for up to 12 months. Camera images are not retained beyond the immediate processing of a scan.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@kafe.app.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we comply with GDPR requirements. For California residents, we comply with CCPA requirements.

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
