CoffeeCong ("we", "our", "the Service") lets people create a public or link-only mini-shop, share it by link, and message buyers directly. This policy explains what information we collect through the CoffeeCong website and mobile app, why we collect it, what other people can see, and how you can delete it.
We collect the following categories of information:
When you create a mini-shop, you choose whether it’s link-only (the default — reachable only by people you share your shop’s link with) or discoverable in Explore (visible to anyone browsing CoffeeCong). You can change this anytime from Shop settings, along with turning your shop’s link itself on or off and setting a public period.
Whenever your shop is visible to someone — whether they reached it through your link or found it in Explore — they can see your shop name, description, cover image, product listings, and the display name/profile photo shown on your shop page. Your email address is never shown on your shop page.
Buyer–seller chat messages and order request details are stored so buyers and sellers can communicate and so you can review your own trade history.
We send push notifications for new messages and order activity using Firebase Cloud Messaging (operated by Google). These notifications include a short preview of the message or order content (up to 80 characters), so a snippet of your message content passes through Firebase/Google’s servers as part of delivering that notification to your device.
We rely on a small number of service providers to run CoffeeCong. We do not sell your personal information to anyone, and we do not use any advertising or analytics SDKs.
A mini-shop and its listings are visible as described in Section 3 — that is the core design of the product, not a data leak. We do not otherwise share your personal information with third parties except the service providers listed in Section 5, or where required by law.
We retain your account, mini-shop, and product data for as long as your account remains active. Once you delete your account, that data is removed or anonymized as described below — we do not keep it indefinitely.
You can permanently delete your CoffeeCong account at any time from Account settings in the app, or at coffeecong.com/account/delete without installing the app.
When you delete your account: your login credentials, session data, device push tokens, liked products, followed shops, and block list are deleted immediately. Order requests you submitted while signed in are deleted along with your account.
Shops you own are made private (removed from all public and Explore views) rather than deleted outright, so that buyers who previously messaged you keep an accurate record of what they purchased.
If you had an active buyer–seller chat thread, your name and contact details are removed from that conversation, but the conversation itself remains visible to the other participant.
If you had filed a content report, the report record is kept for moderation purposes but is no longer linked to your account.
If you signed in with Apple, we make a best-effort attempt to revoke CoffeeCong’s access with Apple when you delete your account. This is never guaranteed to succeed (for example, if Apple’s service is temporarily unavailable) and never blocks your account deletion either way.
CoffeeCong is not directed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date above when we do.
