Privacy Policy
§ 01Introduction
Welcome to Faint. We built this specialty coffee tasting journal with a strict, foundational philosophy: Your vault, always private. Local-first storage. No cloud. No sign-up.
To be completely transparent, we have drawn a crystal-clear line between your "User Content" (which belongs to you and never leaves your device) and "App Telemetry" (anonymous technical data required to keep the app running and manage subscriptions). App store platforms require developers to disclose any data collected via third-party SDKs, and this policy explains exactly how Faint handles both.
§ 02Your User Content (100% Local)
Your personal coffee journal is entirely yours.
- All tasting cards, photos, flavor notes, ratings, and journal entries are stored strictly locally using on-device storage.
- We do not have a central database.
- We do not require you to create an account or sign up.
- We have absolutely no access to your personal coffee journal data.
§ 03Third-Party Infrastructure & App Telemetry
While your coffee data never leaves your device, Faint relies on a few trusted third-party services to process your subscriptions, render maps, and catch app crashes. The only data that leaves your device is anonymous infrastructure data:
- RevenueCat (Subscriptions): We use RevenueCat to manage "Faint Pro" subscriptions. RevenueCat receives an anonymous, randomly generated ID alongside purchase receipt data from the App Store or Google Play to validate your subscription. RevenueCat does not collect or store your credit card number, name, or billing address.
- Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics (App Health): We use Firebase strictly to monitor app health, catch bugs, and view basic usage metrics (such as your device model, OS version, and crash logs). Important Note: We have explicitly removed the Advertising ID (AD_ID) permission from Faint. We do not track you across other apps, and we do not use this telemetry data for advertising or demographic profiling.
- Google Maps SDK (Mapping Origins): Faint uses Google Maps purely to render the map tiles that allow you to pin the geographic origin of your coffee beans. We do not track, collect, or store your live physical GPS location.
§ 04Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grant you specific rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access and delete your information.
Because Faint does not collect, store, or transmit your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or your coffee journal data to our servers, your right to deletion is fully in your own hands. You can permanently delete all your user data at any time by simply uninstalling the Faint app from your device.
To manage or cancel your Faint Pro subscription, or to manage the payment data associated with it, you must use the standard subscription management settings provided by your device's platform (Apple App Store or Google Play).
§ 05Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app or legal requirements. If we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
