Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 September 2026
Brewed is a coffee journal for logging brews, beans and tastings. It is developed and operated from India. This policy explains what Brewed collects, why, who helps us process it, and how you can have it deleted. It covers the Brewed website (brewedcoffee.app) and the Brewed Android app.
The short version
- We collect what you put into Brewed, plus what we need to sign you in.
- We don’t sell your data. We don’t show ads. We don’t use analytics or tracking tools.
- Voice logging and bag scanning send your audio or photos to AI providers to fill in forms. Neither provider trains on it, and Brewed doesn’t keep the audio.
- You can ask us to delete your account and everything in it at any time.
- Questions: privacy@brewedcoffee.app
1What we collect
Your account
- Your email address.
- Your name and profile photo, if you sign in with Google or add them yourself.
What you create in Brewed
- Brews, tastings and scores, flavor notes, comments and recipe steps.
- Bean bags: roaster, origin, roast date, processing and similar details.
- Your gear, setups and recipes.
- Photos of bean bags, and your profile photo.
- Dial-In sessions, including whether you marked a suggestion as helpful.
- Your settings, including which reminders you want the Android app to show.
When you use AI features (only when you choose to)
- Voice logging: short audio clips you record.
- Bag scan: photos of your coffee bag.
Technical data
- Our hosting providers keep standard server logs: IP address, device and browser type, and the time of each request. These are used to keep the service running and secure.
- Brewed stores a few settings on your device, such as light or dark mode and which tips you’ve dismissed. Cookies are used only to keep you signed in.
- Reminders in the Android app are created on your phone by Android itself. Brewed does not use a push service, so no device or notification identifier is collected or shared.
What we don’t collect
- No location, contacts or other files on your device.
- No payment details.
- No advertising identifiers, analytics or screen recording.
2How we use it
- To run Brewed: sign you in, save your brews and beans, and show them back to you across devices.
- To power features you use, such as freshness tracking, insights, Dial-In and your Analytics tab. These are calculated from your own data.
- To send sign-in codes by email. We don’t send marketing email.
- To fix problems. We look at your data only when needed to run the service, fix a problem you report, or understand how features are used overall.
We process your data with your consent. You give it when you sign in, by confirming you’re 18 or older and agreeing to this policy. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting your account (section 8).
3AI features
Voice logging and bag scanning use outside AI services. They only run when you tap them, and you can use all of Brewed without them.
- Voice logging: your audio is sent to OpenAI to turn it into text. The text, plus the names of your gear and beans, is sent to Anthropic so it can fill in the brew or tasting form. Brewed doesn’t store the audio or the text; only the brew you save is kept.
- Bag scan: your photos are sent to Anthropic to read the bag’s label. When you save the bag, the photo you chose as its main photo is saved with it. The other photos aren’t stored.
Neither company uses this data to train its models. They may keep it for a short time to prevent misuse, as described in their own policies: OpenAI and Anthropic.
4Who processes your data
We use a small number of services to run Brewed. Each receives only what it needs.
We don’t sell your data or share it with anyone for advertising or marketing. We would only disclose data if the law required it.
5Shared links
If you share a brew or bean bag as a link, we create a copy of it. Anyone with the link can view that copy, including your name and photos.
Only share links with people you’re happy to show. To remove a shared link, email us.
Share images, the cards you save or send to other apps, are made on your device. Brewed doesn’t store them.
6Where your data is stored and how it’s protected
Your account and everything you create in Brewed are stored in India. Some services in section 4 process data outside India, mainly the AI features, sign-in emails and sign in with Google.
- All connections to Brewed use encryption (HTTPS).
- Data is encrypted at rest by our database provider.
- Database access rules make sure you can only read and change your own data.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
7How long we keep it
- Your account and content: for as long as your account exists.
- After you delete your account: everything is removed from the live database within 30 days. Any backup copies are deleted within a further 7 days.
- Server logs: kept by our hosting providers for up to 7 days.
- AI providers: see section 3.
8Your rights and choices
You can:
- See and correct your data. Most of it can be edited directly in Brewed.
- Get a copy of your data. Email us and we’ll send it within 30 days.
- Delete your account and all its data. Email privacy@brewedcoffee.app from the address you sign in with, and we’ll delete it within 30 days. This removes your brews, beans, gear, recipes, photos and any links you’ve shared. It can’t be undone. The steps are also on our account deletion page.
- Withdraw consent by deleting your account.
- Nominate someone to exercise these rights for you if you die or become unable to. Email us with their name and contact details.
- Raise a concern with us at privacy@brewedcoffee.app. We aim to reply within 7 days. If you aren’t satisfied with our response, you can then complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
9Age
You must be 18 or older to use Brewed. If you believe someone under 18 has an account, email us and we will delete it.
10Changes to this policy
When we change how Brewed handles data, we’ll update this page and the “Last updated” date. For significant changes, such as adding a new kind of data collection, we’ll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
