Privacy Policy
This policy explains what BrewLog collects, what stays private by default, what becomes public when you share content, and how account and subscription data is handled.
Effective date: March 15, 2026
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Kevin Fang, operator of BrewLog, collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use BrewLog.
By using BrewLog, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information BrewLog collects
Account and profile information, such as your email address, authentication provider, display name, profile photo, user ID, and account settings.
Recipe and brew data, such as recipe names, brew steps, notes, temperatures, brew logs, ratings, tags, favorites, view counts, and timestamps.
Public profile and sharing data, such as public recipe share IDs, public browse listings, profile display information, and owner metadata shown on public pages.
Support and feedback data, such as feedback messages you submit and related account identifiers needed to respond or troubleshoot.
Subscription and entitlement data, such as Pro status, billing state, and related account metadata needed to manage paid features like unlimited recipes.
3. How BrewLog uses information
To provide core product features, including authentication, recipe storage, brew log history, shared recipe pages, public profiles, admin tools, and subscription access.
To personalize your experience, such as saving preferences, caching recipes and brew logs locally, and showing your content across devices when available.
To maintain and improve BrewLog, troubleshoot issues, prevent abuse, enforce policies, measure feature usage, and support product decisions.
To communicate with you about account actions, verification, password resets, support requests, legal updates, and subscription matters.
4. Public and private content
Your recipes and brew logs are private by default unless you choose to share or publish them.
If you enable public sharing, publish to browse, or maintain a public profile, related content and profile details may be visible to other users, visitors, and search engines.
Because public content may be copied, cached, or indexed by third parties, BrewLog cannot guarantee removal from all third-party systems after you make content private or delete it.
5. Service providers and infrastructure
BrewLog uses service providers and infrastructure tools, including Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Storage, and other Google services, to operate the product. Stripe is used to process payments and manage subscriptions; when you subscribe to BrewLog Pro, payment information is collected and processed by Stripe in accordance with Stripe's privacy policy.
BrewLog uses Google AI services to power optional features such as recipe parsing. When you use AI-powered features, relevant recipe content may be sent to Google's AI platform for processing.
These providers may process data on BrewLog's behalf for hosting, storage, authentication, payments, AI processing, security, performance, and related technical operations. Data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where these providers operate.
6. Local storage and device data
BrewLog may store limited data in your browser or device, including cached recipes, brew logs, preferences such as temperature units, and session-related data used to improve performance and user experience.
If you clear browser storage or switch devices, some locally cached information may no longer be available.
7. Legal bases and disclosures
BrewLog processes information as needed to provide the service you request, fulfill subscription obligations, protect the service, comply with legal obligations, and pursue legitimate interests such as product improvement and fraud prevention.
BrewLog may disclose information if required by law, to respond to valid legal process, to protect users or BrewLog, or in connection with a business transfer involving the service.
8. Data retention and deletion
BrewLog retains information for as long as necessary to operate the service, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.
If you delete your account, BrewLog will work to delete or de-identify your private account data within a reasonable period, subject to technical constraints, legal obligations, backups, and records required for security, fraud prevention, or billing.
Public content that was previously shared may persist in caches, backups, or third-party systems for some time after deletion.
9. Your choices and rights
You may update certain account and profile information within BrewLog and can request account deletion through the app when available.
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how your personal data is processed. To make a request, email support@mybrewlog.com.
10. Children's privacy
BrewLog is not intended for children under 13, and BrewLog does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to BrewLog, contact support@mybrewlog.com so appropriate steps can be taken.
11. Changes and contact
BrewLog may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When material changes are made, BrewLog may update the effective date and provide additional notice where appropriate.
