Last Updated: January 18, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Orsa. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our espresso journaling app.

Orsa is operated as an independent app. By using Orsa, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Profile Information: Your name (provided during onboarding)
• Brew Data: Coffee beans, equipment, brew parameters, ratings, and notes you enter
• Photos: Images you optionally attach to your brews
• Equipment Details: Information about your coffee equipment

Automatically Collected Information

• Usage Data: How you interact with the app (features used, frequency of use)
• Device Information: Device type, operating system version, app version
• Crash Reports: Technical data if the app crashes to help us fix bugs

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain the app's core functionality
• Store your brew logs and preferences locally on your device
• Generate shareable brew cards when you choose to share
• Improve app performance and fix bugs
• Understand how users interact with Orsa to improve features

Data Storage

Local Storage

• All your brew data is stored locally on your device by default
• We do not access or store your brew logs on our servers unless you share them
• If you delete the app, all local data is deleted

Cloud Storage (When You Share)

When you share a brew:

• The specific brew data and photo (if included) are uploaded to our servers
• This allows others to view your shared brew via the web link
• Shared brews remain accessible until you request deletion

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share data in these limited circumstances:

• When You Choose to Share: Brew data you explicitly share becomes publicly accessible via the share link
• Service Providers: We use third-party services (hosting, database, analytics) that may process data on our behalf
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights and safety

Third-Party Services We Use:

• Hosting and database services (e.g., Vercel, Supabase)
• Analytics services (e.g., Firebase Analytics)
• Cloud storage for shared photos

These services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access Your Data: All your data is viewable within the app
• Delete Your Data: Uninstalling the app deletes all local data
• Delete Shared Brews: Contact us to remove specific shared brews from our servers
• Opt Out of Analytics: Disable analytics tracking in your device settings

Children's Privacy

Orsa is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure storage practices
• Limited access to servers and databases

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Users

If you use Orsa from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using Orsa, you consent to such transfers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by:

• Posting the new Privacy Policy in the app
• Updating the "Last Updated" date
• Sending an in-app notification (for material changes)

Your continued use of Orsa after changes means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
