Privacy and Your Data

What CafeRadar collects, how we use it, and your control over it.

Last updated March 19, 2026

Your Privacy Matters

CafeRadar collects only the data needed to help you discover great coffee.

What We Collect

  • Location: Only when you use the app (for nearby cafe discovery and check-in verification)
  • Check-in history: Where and when you visited
  • Reviews and photos: Content you choose to share
  • CoffeeDNA preferences: Built from your activity
  • Coffee scan data: Flavor notes extracted from coffee bag photos

AI Features

CafeRadar uses Google Gemini to power the AI Barista chat and coffee bag scanning. Before using these features, you will see a consent dialog explaining that your data is processed by a third-party AI service.

You can use CafeRadar without AI features. They are entirely optional.

Your Controls

  • Delete check-in history: Settings > Privacy > Clear History
  • Delete CoffeeDNA: Settings > Privacy > Reset CoffeeDNA
  • Delete account: Settings > Delete Account (removes all data permanently)
  • Export your data: Contact support to request a data export

No Cross-App Tracking

CafeRadar does not use advertising identifiers (IDFA). We do not track you across other apps or websites. Our analytics are first-party only.
