Netbrew · Privacy
We keep it small.
Last updated 15 September 2026
The short version: Netbrew shows the people in the coffee shop you are sitting in.
To do that we store your name, your work, your photo, where you checked in, and the messages you send.
We do not sell your data, we do not track you around the city, and deleting your account erases everything.
What we collect
- Your name, profession and photo — so people in the room know who you are. A photo is required for that reason.
- Your location, only while you use the app — to work out which coffee shop you are in. We do not record a trail of where you go, and we never read your location in the background.
- Your check-ins — which café, and when. They disappear from the room automatically after 2 hours.
- Messages you send — stored so the conversation survives leaving the café.
- A device notification token — so we can tell you when someone messages you.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your data to anyone.
- We do not track your location outside the app.
- We do not share your details with the café, or with other users, beyond what you see on your own card.
- We do not use your data for advertising.
Who can see you
Only people who are checked in to the same café at the same time. You are never visible to someone who is not there.
Deleting everything
Open the app → You → Delete my account. That removes your profile, your check-ins and your passkeys immediately. There is nothing left to ask us for.
Where it is stored
On Google Firebase (Firestore and Cloud Storage) in the United States, and Apple Push Notification service for notifications.
Age
Netbrew is for people 17 and older.
