Privacy policy
The short version
- Brewmate works without an account. Without one, everything you log stays on your phone.
- If you sign in, we store your email address and your coffee log so it can be backed up and synced.
- We don't sell your data, show ads, or share it with anyone for advertising.
- You can delete your account and all synced data at any time, in the app or on this site.
What we collect
Without an account: nothing leaves your phone, except when you use a feature that needs the internet (see "Learning a recipe from a link" below).
If you sign in:
- Email address: to send your one-time sign-in code and identify your account.
- Your coffee log: beans, roasters, brews, recipes, equipment, ratings, tasting notes and settings, so they can be backed up and synced between your devices.
- Photos you choose to back up (for example a photo of a coffee bag).
- Technical data needed to run the service: sign-in tokens and basic server logs (time, request, error codes), kept for security and debugging.
We do not collect your location, contacts, or advertising ID. Brewmate currently contains no analytics or advertising SDKs. If that changes, this policy will be updated first.
The Android beta list
If you join the beta on this site, we store the email address you give us (and a first name, if you add one) with Resend, our email provider, to send you the beta invite, testing updates and the launch announcement. We also add it to Google Play's tester list so you can install the test version. Every broadcast has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to remove you at any time.
Learning a recipe from a link
If you share a public video link (for example an Instagram reel) with Brewmate to turn it into a recipe, the link is sent to our server, which reads the public post to extract the recipe. We do not access your Instagram account.
Where your data is stored
Synced data is stored with these service providers, who process it only to run Brewmate:
- Google Cloud (Cloud Run): the Brewmate API, in Singapore
- Neon: the database, in Singapore
- Cloudflare R2: backed-up photos
- Resend: sends sign-in code emails and beta emails, and keeps the beta list
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
How long we keep it
We keep your account data until you delete your account. Sign-in codes expire within minutes. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and then deleted.
Deleting your data
Delete your account in the app (Settings → Delete account) or on this site using a code sent to your email. Deletion permanently removes your account, your synced coffee log, recipes, equipment, settings, anything you posted, and your backed-up photos from our servers. Data stored only on your phone is removed when you delete the app's data or uninstall it.
Children
Brewmate is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion by emailing support@usebrewmate.app. We reply within 30 days.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update the date at the top. For significant changes we tell you in the app.
