Privacy Policy — Last updated: May 2, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Café Andrés (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects the information you provide when using the app. Questions or deletion requests? Email us at privacy@cafeandres.app.
Café Andrés only collects content you explicitly create in the app:
When you sign in with Apple or Google, Clerk provides an account identifier and may provide an email address. These are linked to your Café Andrés content so only you can access it. We do not collect phone number, location, contacts, or other unrelated personal data.
The app may request permission to access your device camera and photo library. These permissions are used exclusively to photograph coffee bags or beans and attach images to your entries.
We take reasonable technical precautions to protect your data, but no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Café Andrés uses Google Gemini AI to provide equipment suggestions. When you request a suggestion, the name and description of your equipment may be sent to the Gemini API. No personally identifiable information is included in these requests. This feature is optional and only activates when you explicitly request a suggestion.
Google’s data handling is governed by their Privacy Policy.
Your data is retained for as long as you use the app. Delete your account in the app or use our account deletion page. We permanently delete your brew logs, coffee entries, equipment records, uploaded images, and local account mapping; the associated Clerk identity is revoked. External provider retention is governed by Apple and Google.
Café Andrés is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
For privacy-related questions or data deletion requests, email privacy@cafeandres.app.
