Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to shallow coffee. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our application and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

Controller: shallow coffee is the controller and responsible for your personal data.

Cookies: We do not track you. We use only "strictly necessary" cookies that are essential for the operation of the website (e.g., to keep you logged in). As these are essential, we do not require a cookie banner, but we believe in transparency.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together follows:

• Identity Data: includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, date of birth, and gender.
• Contact Data: includes email address and telephone numbers.
• Technical Data: includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
• Profile Data: includes your username and password, purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.
• Usage Data: includes information about how you use our website, products and services.
• Location Data: includes your approximate geographic location. For your privacy and security, we apply location fuzzing by adding a random offset to your GPS coordinates before storing them. This means your exact location is never stored or shared, protecting you from precise location tracking while still enabling proximity-based matching with other users.

3. How We Use Your Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
• Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

4. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

5. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer, to object to processing, to portability of data and (where the lawful ground of processing is consent) to withdraw consent.

You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to a supervisory authority for data protection issues. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the authority, so please contact us in the first instance.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not permit individuals under the age of 18 on our platform. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you suspect that a user is under the age of 18, please report them to us immediately.
