Privacy Policy

When you sign up for the beta or interact with the Site, we may collect:

• Contact details — name, email address, and any additional contact handle you optionally provide (Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, KakaoTalk).
• Optional feedback — feature ideas or messages you submit through the beta signup form.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device type, locale, and referring URL collected automatically via our analytics providers.
• Future biometric data (when the app launches) — a short selfie video used solely for one-time identity verification. This processing is described in section 4.

• To send you beta access and product updates.
• To improve the Site and the upcoming product.
• To measure marketing performance and reach similar audiences.
• To prevent fraud and enforce our terms.
• To comply with legal obligations.

The Site uses the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics — usage statistics. See Google’s privacy policy.
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel — conversion tracking and ad targeting. See Meta’s privacy policy.
• Quora Pixel — conversion tracking. See Quora’s privacy policy.

You can opt out of these by using browser-level tracking protection or extensions such as the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

When the CoffeeTalk app launches, new users will record a short selfie video as part of one-time identity verification. The video will be processed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) — specifically Amazon Rekognition — to confirm that the person matches their profile photo. The raw video is not retained beyond the verification check, is never shared with other users, and is not sold to third parties. AWS acts as our data processor under its data processing terms. Until the app launches, no video data is collected through this Site.

Beta signup data is stored in our database provider (Supabase). We use industry-standard security practices including TLS in transit and access controls at rest. No system is fully secure — if you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us at the address below.

We keep beta signup data until you ask us to delete it, or until it is no longer needed for the purposes described in this policy. Analytics data follows the retention defaults of the respective providers.

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, and others), you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at help@coffee-talk.net.

Your data may be processed in countries outside your own, including the United States and the European Union, where our service providers operate. We rely on standard contractual clauses and provider compliance frameworks to safeguard international transfers.

The Site and the upcoming app are not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

We may update this policy as the product evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version. Material changes will be communicated via email to beta participants where possible.

Questions, requests, or complaints about this policy can be sent to help@coffee-talk.net.
