Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

1. Who we are

The Espremo app ("the App", "we", "us", "our") is operated by the developer contactable at info@ddrck.com.

For questions about privacy or your rights under Dutch and EU data-protection law (including the GDPR), this is the address to reach us.

2. What data the App handles

The App handles the following information, entirely locally on your device:

• Machine information — the brand and model of your espresso machine, and optionally an approximate purchase date, that you enter during onboarding
• Coffee habits — the number of shots per day and the type of water you use, as selected during onboarding
• Maintenance preferences — which tasks you have chosen to track, custom intervals you set, water filter type
• Task history — the dates on which you have marked tasks as done, so the App can compute upcoming due dates and show your completion history
• Notification preference — the time of day at which you want to receive reminders

3. Where this data lives

All of the above stays on your device. Specifically:

• Profile data is stored in UserDefaults, the standard iOS local key-value storage
• Bundled maintenance content (task descriptions, machine catalogue, water hardness data) is included in the App itself and does not change based on your data
• We do not have a server. We do not run a backend. There is no account or login.
• We do not transmit, back up, sync, or copy your data to any server, ours or a third party's

Uninstalling the App removes this data from your device.

4. Local notifications

The App uses local iOS notifications to remind you when a task is due. This means:

• Notifications are scheduled by the App itself on your device
• No notification content leaves your device
• You explicitly grant notification permission when the App asks; you can revoke it at any time in iOS Settings → Notifications
• The App may set an app-icon badge count. Opening the App clears the badge.

5. iCloud

If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, Apple may back up the App's local data as part of your device backup, under Apple's terms and privacy policies. This is an iOS-level function; we do not access these backups.

6. The App Store and Apple

The App is distributed through the Apple App Store. When you download, install, or interact with the App via the App Store, Apple may collect information under Apple's own privacy policy (available at apple.com/legal/privacy). Examples include app-crash reports, download analytics, and payment records where applicable.

We may see aggregated download and crash statistics through App Store Connect. These are anonymised and provided by Apple; they are not linked to any individual user by us.

7. Third-party services

We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or tracking SDKs. No third party embedded in the App collects your data.

External references (e.g. machine brand names, cleaner brand names) inside the App are informational only. Tapping them does not send data to those brands.

8. Children

The App is intended for adult owners of espresso machines and is not targeted at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information about children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App (which is only possible by physically using the device), delete the App to remove local data.

9. Your rights under GDPR

Because we do not hold your data on our servers, most GDPR rights are exercised directly on your device:

• Right of access — all your data is visible to you in the App itself; there is no separate copy we hold
• Right to rectification — edit your data via the App's Settings screen
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — delete individual tasks in Settings, use "Reset everything" in Settings → Advanced, or uninstall the App to remove all local data
• Right to data portability — the App does not currently export your data in a portable format; if you would like an export, contact us
• Right to object / restrict processing — not applicable in a meaningful sense because we do not process your data on our systems
• Right to lodge a complaint — you may lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl

10. Legal basis for processing

Where any processing of personal data by us is required under the GDPR (for example, if you email us at the contact address below), the legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interest in providing you support (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Email correspondence you send us is kept only for as long as necessary to answer your question, and is not shared with third parties.

11. Data security

Because your data stays on your device, its security depends on your device's security (screen lock, iOS updates, iCloud protections). We do not have a server that can be breached to expose your data.

If you email us at info@ddrck.com, we take reasonable measures to protect the content of that correspondence but rely on standard email transport, which is not end-to-end encrypted by default.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be indicated in the App or on this page. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
