Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 1, 2025

At Cafecitos ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully.

Information We Collect

Cafecitos is designed with privacy in mind. We do not require user accounts and do not collect personal information. The only information we may collect is:

Location Data (Optional)

  • Your location (only with your explicit permission) to show nearby cafes
  • Location is used only while the app is in use and is not stored on our servers
  • You can disable location access at any time in your device settings

Anonymous Usage Data

  • Basic app analytics (app opens, features used) to improve the Service
  • Device type and operating system version for compatibility purposes
  • Crash reports to help us fix bugs and improve stability

How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used solely for:

  • Showing you cafes near your current location
  • Improving app performance and user experience
  • Fixing bugs and technical issues
  • Understanding which features are most useful to users
  • We do not use your information for advertising or marketing purposes

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your information with third parties, except:

  • Anonymous, aggregated analytics data with service providers (e.g., crash reporting)
  • When required by law or to respond to legal process
  • To protect our rights, safety, or property

Data Storage

Your favorites and preferences are stored locally on your device only. We do not store any personal data on our servers. Anonymous analytics data is retained for up to 12 months and then automatically deleted.

Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your data:

  • Location: Enable or disable location access in your device settings at any time
  • Analytics: You can opt out of analytics in the app settings
  • Local data: Delete the app to remove all locally stored data (favorites, preferences)
  • No account needed: Use the app without providing any personal information
  • Contact us anytime with questions about your privacy

Deleting Your Data

Since we don't collect personal data or require accounts, there's no account to delete. Your favorites and preferences are stored only on your device. Simply uninstall the app to remove all local data. If you have any concerns, contact us at privacy@cafecitos.app.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is available to users of all ages as we do not collect personal information. The app simply helps users discover coffee shops and does not contain any age-restricted content.

Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect any data transmitted through our Service. Since we don't store personal information on our servers, the risk of data breaches affecting your privacy is minimal.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
