We protect your data

PRIVACY POLICY

This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on Tightrope Coffee’s website and our apps for iPhone and any other devices and platforms.

Information we collect

New Tightrope Coffee accounts are created with name, email addresses, and passwords.

You may optionally add an email address and a password to your account, or create an account using your Facebook log-in. Email addresses are only used for logging in, password resets, responding to emails that you initiate, and sending notifications that you request. We may send promotional emails.

We only store your name, email, and password.

Technical basics

If you enable notifications, we must store a token to send them. We never use notifications for marketing. If you will upload files to Tightrope Coffee, we need to store them until you delete them. If you subscribe to a password-protected podcast, we need to store the credentials you provide in order to keep it updated. We use cookies on the site and similar tokens in the app to keep you logged in. Our server software may also store basic technical information, such as your IP address, in temporary memory or logs.

iCloud

Tightrope Coffee stores some of your data in Apple’s iCloud service, such as login tokens for your account(s), to enable some sync features between all devices signed into your Apple ID.

Cloudflare

For performance and overload protection, we direct your traffic through Cloudflare before it reaches Tightrope Coffee’s servers. They have access to some basic technical information to perform this role, such as your IP address. Cloudflare’s privacy policy is here.

Ads and analytics

Tightrope Coffee’s app collects aggregate, anonymous statistics, such as the percentage of users who use particular features, to improve the app. No personal data is used to target Tightrope Coffee’s ads. Each ad collects, and shares with its advertiser, only three numbers: total views, total taps, and total subscriptions from the ad.

Information usage

We use the information we collect to operate and improve our website, apps, and customer support.

We do not share personal information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to accomplish Tightrope Coffee’s functionality.

We may disclose your information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal requirements; to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or abuse, violations of our policies; or to protect our rights and property.

In the future, we may sell, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.

Security

We implement a variety of security measures to help keep your information secure. For instance, all communication with the app and website requires HTTPS with certificate pinning. Passwords are hashed, not stored, using industry-standard methods (currently bcrypt).

Backups are encrypted and are only accessed if needed for disaster recovery. Tightrope Coffee may delete your information at any time and for any reason, such as technical needs, legal concerns, abuse prevention, removal of idle accounts, data loss, or any other reason.
