Privacy Policy
Effective 1 October 2026
What data the app uses
PullBook stores the following data locally on your device:
- Coffee bag details you add (name, roaster, origin, recipe, photos)
- Shot logs you record (dose, yield, time, taste notes)
- App settings and preferences
None of this data is sent to any server. It is stored exclusively in your device's local storage and, if you are signed into iCloud, in your personal iCloud Key-Value Store.
iCloud sync
If you are signed into iCloud on your device, PullBook uses Apple's iCloud Key-Value Store to sync your data across your own Apple devices. This data goes directly to your Apple ID — we never see it, have no access to it, and cannot retrieve it. Apple's handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Camera and photo library
PullBook asks for camera and photo library access only when you choose to add a photo to a coffee bag. Photos are stored locally on your device as part of the bag record. They are not uploaded anywhere.
Bluetooth
PullBook can connect to supported Bluetooth espresso scales (Decent / Half Decent Scale) to read live shot weight. Bluetooth is used solely to communicate with your scale hardware. No data from the scale is transmitted off your device.
Analytics and tracking
PullBook contains no analytics, no crash reporting SDKs, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party tracking of any kind. We have no way to observe how you use the app.
No account required
PullBook does not have accounts, logins, or any form of user registration. There is no data associated with you on any server.
Children
PullBook does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If the app's data practices ever change, this page will be updated and the effective date revised. Given the privacy-first design of PullBook, we do not anticipate material changes.
