Privacy Policy

Overview

Cinnamon Rolls of the World ("the app") is a personal journal and social discovery platform for cinnamon roll enthusiasts. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how it is used.

Data We Collect

• Anonymous device identifier — a randomly generated ID stored on your device. This is never linked to your real identity and is used to sync your rolls across sessions.
• Roll logs — the cinnamon roll entries you create, including bakery name, city, country, rating, notes, style, and optional photos you choose to share.
• Profile information — a display name, handle, and bio you set voluntarily within the app.
• Usage data — standard server logs (request timestamps, response codes) for debugging. These are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Photos

If you attach a photo to a roll entry, it is uploaded to secure cloud storage (Google Cloud Storage) and served via our API. Photos marked as public are visible to other users in the community feed. You can delete a roll (including its photo) at any time from within the app.

Location & Geocoding

When you log a roll, the city and country you enter are sent to Nominatim (an open-source geocoding service) to look up geographic coordinates for the map view. No precise GPS location is ever collected. Nominatim's own privacy policy applies to those requests.

How We Use Your Data

• To sync your roll journal and profile across devices
• To display community rolls and the world map
• To award badges based on your logging activity
• To improve app reliability (server-side error logging)

We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it for any purpose beyond operating the app.

Data Retention & Deletion

Your roll data is retained as long as you use the app. You can delete all your data at any time via Profile → Settings → Danger Zone → Clear All Data. This permanently removes your rolls, profile, and device ID from our servers.

Children's Privacy

This app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
