Coffee Together Privacy Policy
Effective: October 13, 2026 · Service: Coffee Together (https://coffee-together-iota.vercel.app)
1. Overview
Coffee Together (the "Service") is a web tool that collects cafe orders through a single link. There is nothing to install, no sign-up and no login. The Service shows no ads, uses no visitor analytics and sets no cookies. It is operated by 상담교육연구소 별틔움 (Byeolteuium Counseling & Education Institute).
The Service stores only what is needed to collect orders, per order room, and deletes it automatically after the room expires.
2. Information stored on the server
| Item | Entered by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Room title, cafe name, pasted custom menu | The person who creates the room | Displaying the room |
| Orderer name (a nickname is fine, up to 16 characters) | Participants, or the room creator entering on their behalf | Telling orders apart |
| Chosen menu, hot/iced, size, quantity, request note, submission time | Participants | Tallying orders |
| One-way hashes of the browser key and the admin key | Generated automatically | Letting you edit or cancel your own order; verifying the room creator |
The name does not have to be your real name. The Service does not collect email addresses, phone numbers, payment details or location.
Anyone who has the room link can see the names and orders in that room. Do not write sensitive information in the name or request fields.
3. Information kept only in your browser
- A randomly generated browser key and the last name you entered
- The list of rooms you created and their admin keys
- Whether you have already seen the usage guide and the splash screen
This stays in browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) and is removed when you clear site data in your browser settings. The browser key and admin key are sent with requests to verify you, but the server stores only their hashes.
4. Retention and deletion
- A room expires 14 days after it is created and can no longer be opened.
- Files of expired rooms are removed by an automatic cleanup that runs once a day. It deletes files whose last order change is more than 14 days old, so a file is deleted no later than 14 days after the room expires.
- Participants can cancel (delete) their own order until the room is closed, and the room creator can delete individual orders.
- To have data deleted sooner, contact us with the room link.
5. Access logs
Vercel, which hosts the Service, automatically processes server access logs such as IP address, browser information and access time in order to deliver and secure the Service. The operator does not use these logs to identify users or for advertising.
6. Menu photos loaded from other sites
Menu photos for some cafes are loaded directly from that cafe brand's official website. Your browser connects to that site to do so, which may reveal your IP address and browser information to it. That processing is governed by each site's own policy.
7. Processors and international transfer
| Processor | Task | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Inc. | Web hosting, room file storage (Vercel Blob), server access logs | Room files are stored in South Korea (Seoul region). Data may be processed on Vercel infrastructure in the United States and elsewhere while operating the Service |

8. Sharing with third parties
The operator does not sell your information or share it with third parties other than the processor listed in section 7.
9. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 14 and does not knowingly collect their personal information.
10. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information. Because the Service has no accounts, an order cannot be found by name alone, so please include the room link and the name used in the order.
