Coffee Grind Helper

Privacy Policy

Effective date:

Coffee Grind Helper is built on a simple principle: your brewing data belongs to you. We collect the minimum information necessary to provide the service and train better brewing models. We do not sell your data, serve ads, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
01

Who we are

Coffee Grind Helper is an independent mobile application for recording coffee brewing parameters and results. The app is developed and operated by an individual developer. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at the address listed at the bottom of this page.

02

What data we collect

We collect only what is necessary to run the service. The table below describes every category of personal data we hold.

Data Source Purpose
Google Account ID Google Sign-In (OAuth) Uniquely identify your account and link your brew data
Email address Google Sign-In (OAuth) Account recovery and service communications
Profile picture URL Google Sign-In (OAuth) Display your avatar within the app
Brew session data You enter it Core app functionality and ML model training
Community contributions You enter it Shared bean and grinder records for all users

We do not collect: precise location, contacts, device identifiers, payment information, health data, or any data beyond what is listed above.

03

How we use your data

Machine learning training: Your anonymised brew session data (parameters and ratings, never your name or email) may be used to train predictive models. This data is used in aggregate and is not personally identifiable in any trained model.

04

Data storage and security

Your data is stored securely on Supabase infrastructure, which is hosted on AWS and complies with SOC 2 Type II standards. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Access to your personal brew data is restricted to your account through Row Level Security — no other user can read your private brew sessions.

Your Google account credentials are never stored by Coffee Grind Helper. Authentication is handled entirely by Google's OAuth infrastructure and Supabase Auth.

05

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not share your data with advertisers or marketing platforms.

The only data visible to other users is what you explicitly contribute to community tables:

Your brew sessions, ratings, and personal notes are always private and never visible to other users.

Infrastructure providers: We use Supabase as our database and authentication provider. Supabase processes data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. No other third-party processors handle your personal data.

06

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable privacy laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data.

Right of access: You can view all your brew sessions and account data directly within the app at any time.

Right to deletion: You may request deletion of your account and personal data by sending an email to the address below. We will process your request within 30 days.

Please note the following limitations on deletion:

  • Bean and grinder records you contributed to community tables will be retained, as other users may rely on them. Your authorship link will be removed.
  • Anonymised brew data incorporated into already-trained machine learning models cannot be extracted or removed from those models. Future model training will exclude your data from the point of deletion.
07

Data retention

We retain your personal data (account ID, email, profile picture) and your private brew sessions for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion, your personal data and private brew sessions are removed within 30 days.

Community-contributed data (bean and grinder records) is retained indefinitely as it forms part of the shared knowledge base of the app.

08

Children's privacy

Coffee Grind Helper is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

09

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify you through the app. Continued use of Coffee Grind Helper after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
