Keido is a specialty coffee discovery and social app. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. What we collect
When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, and display name. When you use the app, we collect the content you create: coffee reviews, ratings, tasting notes, photos, and brew details. We also collect basic usage information (which pages you visit, when you last used the app) to help us improve the service.
If you connect a third-party login (such as Google), we receive only the account information that provider shares with us — typically your name and email.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to run Keido: to create and display your profile, show your reviews to other users, send you notifications you've opted into, and improve how the app works. We do not use your personal information to train AI models or sell it to advertisers.
Your reviews and ratings are public by default. You can make your account private from Settings, which limits who can see your activity.
3. Information sharing
We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
We share information with a small number of infrastructure providers that are necessary to run Keido:
• Supabase — our database and authentication provider. Supabase is a cloud service that stores your account data, reviews, and preferences securely. Think of it as the secure filing cabinet where your information lives. More at supabase.com/privacy.
• Vercel — our hosting provider. Vercel serves the Keido app to your device over the internet, similar to how a web server works. More at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
• Google Maps — we use Google's mapping service to display nearby coffee locations. When you use the map, your device's location is sent to Google to load the map. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
We may also share information if required by law, or to protect the safety of our users or the integrity of the platform.
4. Business features and paid plans
Keido is free for everyone. In the future, we plan to offer paid features for coffee businesses — such as the ability to feature their coffees or promote their profiles to enthusiasts nearby. These are optional and paid for by businesses, not users.
If a business pays to feature content, that content will be clearly labeled as promoted or featured so you always know what you're seeing.
5. Affiliate links
Keido may include affiliate links to coffee products, equipment, or courses. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, Keido may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links help support the development of Keido and keep it free for users.
Any affiliate relationship will be disclosed clearly wherever affiliate links appear. We only link to products and services we believe are genuinely useful to the specialty coffee community.
6. Location data
When you use the map or search for nearby locations, your device may share your location with us and with Google Maps to show relevant results. This is optional — you can browse and search without sharing your location.
We do not store your precise location history on our servers.
7. Your privacy controls
From your Settings you can make your account private (requires approval before others can follow you), control which notifications you receive, and update or delete your personal information. To delete your account entirely, contact us at privacy@keido.coffee and we will remove your data.
8. Data storage and security
Your data is stored using Supabase, which uses industry-standard encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. We take security seriously, but no system is completely immune to risk. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to enable any available account security features.
9. Cookies and local storage
Keido uses your browser's local storage to keep you logged in and remember your preferences between visits. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell your browsing behavior to advertisers.
10. Children's privacy
Keido is not intended for anyone under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Keido grows. If we make a significant change — especially one that affects how your data is used — we will notify you through the app or by email before the change takes effect.
12. Contact us
For privacy-related questions, data requests, or to delete your account, contact us at privacy@keido.coffee. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
