Privacy Policy
Last updated August 2026
Draft — not yet reviewed by counsel. Skeleton policy for the Caffila preview.
1. The one-line policy
Your data works for you, never sold. Everything you tell Caffila exists to get you better group prices and better matches — it is never sold to advertisers, brokers, or anyone else.
2. What we collect
At signup: email, password, and ZIP code — nothing else is required. Later, and always optionally: phone number, interest categories, your "superpower," and family dates. Each extra field exists to unlock a specific benefit for you, and the profile page shows exactly which.
3. Guest drafts stay on your device
If you build a wishlist before joining, those drafts are stored only in your browser's local storage — on your device, not on our servers. They reach Caffila only if and when you choose to become a member, and clearing your browser data removes them entirely.
4. What businesses see
Businesses quoting a basket see aggregate demand only: how many buyers, what they want, and the general area. Your name, email, and phone number are released to a business only after you accept its deal — and your phone number additionally requires the explicit sharing consent on your profile. Until acceptance, you are an initial and a ZIP prefix.
5. What neighbors see
Members in your basket see your first initial and join time. Nothing else — no name, no street, no contact details.
6. Your controls
Every notification channel is opt-in and per-type. Interest categories can be changed or emptied anytime. You can export your data or delete your account from the profile page; deletion removes your wishlist, baskets, and referral history within 30 days.
7. What we don't do
We don't sell or rent personal data. We don't share your contact details before consent. We don't run third-party ad trackers on member pages. We don't use your data to negotiate against you — Caffila only earns when the group saves.
8. Security and retention
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access inside Caffila is limited to what a task requires. We keep personal data only while your account is active, plus the minimum required for tax and fraud obligations.
