1. Who we are
Practice Bean is operated by Roaren Media LLC, based in Oklahoma, United States ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information we collect when you use the Practice Bean mobile app and this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
The short version: we collect only what the app needs to work, we don't run ads or analytics, and we never sell your information.
2. Information we collect
You can browse approved coffee shops without an account. If you create one, we collect:
- Account information — your email address, and a password if you sign up with email. If you sign in with Google, we also receive your name and profile photo from Google. If you sign in with Apple, we receive the email address Apple shares with us, which may be a private relay address.
- Your profile — the display name you choose, and a profile photo if you upload one from your photo library.
- Your visit log — for each visit you log: the shop, your 0–10 rating, any notes you write, and the date.
- Friends — the friend requests you send and accept.
- Push notification token — if you allow notifications, a token that lets us send notifications to your device.
We do not collect analytics, advertising identifiers, contacts, or crash reports.
3. Your location
The app asks for your location only when you tap to see shops near you, and only while you're using the app. Your location is used on your phone to work out which approved shops are close by and to show your position on the map. It is never sent to us or stored by us.
The map is provided by Apple Maps on iPhone and Google Maps on Android, which handle the map display under their own privacy policies. When you ask for directions to a shop, the app opens your maps app with that shop's address.
4. Who can see what
- Your display name and profile photo can be seen by other signed-in users, so friends can find you in search. Profile photos are stored at a public web address, so anyone who has that address can view the image.
- Your visit log — ratings and notes — is visible only to you and to people whose friend request you've accepted (or who accepted yours).
- When you log a visit, your friends may get a notification that you logged a shop.
- Your email address is never shown to other users.
5. How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Create and run your account, and sign you in
- Save your visit log and show it to you and your friends
- Let other users find you and send friend requests
- Send push notifications, if you've allowed them
- Respond when you email us
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
6. Third-party services
Practice Bean relies on a few services to work. Each handles data under its own privacy policy:
- Supabase — sign-in, the database that stores your account and visit log, and storage for profile photos
- Google Cloud — hosts our server, which handles tasks like account deletion and sending notifications
- Expo — delivers push notifications to your device
- Google and Apple — only if you choose to sign in with them
- Apple Maps and Google Maps — display the map in the app
- Cloudflare — hosts this website
7. Keeping and deleting your data
We keep your data for as long as you have an account. You can delete your account at any time from inside the app (Account → Edit Profile → Delete Account). This immediately and permanently deletes your account, profile, profile photo, visit log, friendships and notification tokens. If you can't access the app, you can email us instead. See the data deletion page for details.
Copies may remain in our hosting provider's routine backups for a short time before they're overwritten.
8. Security
Data travels between the app and our servers over encrypted connections (TLS), and our hosting provider encrypts it at rest. The database checks every request, so each account can reach only its own data and what friends have chosen to share. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
9. Children's privacy
Practice Bean is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Your rights
You can see and change your display name and photo in the app, and delete your account at any time. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, or to have it corrected. To ask, email us at admin@odocoffee.com.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, let you know in the app.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, email us at admin@odocoffee.com.
