Privacy policy — Kombucha Coach
Overview
Kombucha Coach ("the app") is a personal kombucha journaling app. The apphas no server, and does not send data to any external service — all data is stored exclusively, locally, on your own device.
What data the app stores
The app stores the following data exclusively on your own device, in a local database:
- Data for the kombucha batches you record (name, start date, volume, sugar/tea amount and type)
- Measurement data (pH, temperature, gravity, taste notes)
- Photos you optionally attach (for a measurement)
- The recipes you save
- Reminder scheduling data
Only you have access to this data. The app's developer, or any third party, cannot see, collect, or transmit it.
Permissions the app may request
- Notifications: so it can send you a reminder about your kombucha batches' phase changes (e.g. tasting time, bottling time).
- Photo library: so you can attach a photo to a measurement, if you'd like. This is optional, can be declined at any time, and doesn't affect the app's other functionality.
Neither permission is required to use the app's core functionality.
Data sharing
The app contains no ads, uses no analytics/tracking service, and does not share data with any third party.
The only way data leaves your device is if you initiate it:
- Sharing a recipe (e.g. via a messaging app)
- Sharing a backup (used for backing up/transferring the full database file yourself)
In these cases, the system's own share sheet appears, and you choose where the data goes.
Deleting data
Since all data is stored locally, deleting the app (removing it from your phone) permanently deletes all data from the device as well. We recommend making regular backups via the Settings screen before you switch devices or delete the app.
Children's data
The app doesn't collect data about anyone, including children — there's no registration, no personally identifiable data sent anywhere.
The website (kombuchacoach.hu) and analytics
The website may use privacy-friendly, cookie-free traffic measurement (e.g. Plausible), which doesn't collect personally identifiable data and doesn't build a profile of visitors.
