Privacy notice

The short version

KAVOVO is a static website. We do not run advertising, we do not set tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share personal data. We use limited cookieless analytics to understand how selected site features work in aggregate. Newsletter and waitlist sign-ups are currently disabled, so the site does not accept email addresses.

What we collect

• No account or tracking cookie. Reading recipes, guides, lessons and Journal articles requires no account and sets no cookies from us.
• Limited product events, described below. These contain predefined categories, content slugs and settings, not your recipe values or free text.
• Progress and recipe preferences on your device. Completed lesson slugs, saved and recently viewed recipe slugs, timestamps and your unit preference stay in your browser storage. They are not synced to KAVOVO or between devices.

Local browser storage

Learn progress, saved recipes, recently viewed recipes and recipe unit preferences use versioned local storage. These features store only content slugs, timestamps and settings. You can remove individual saved recipes, clear recent history, reset one learning path, or clear the site data through your browser. If storage is blocked, the main site still works and these controls fall back to the current page session where possible.

Hosting and server logs

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical request data — including IP address, browser type and requested URL — to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We do not use that data to build profiles of visitors.

Analytics

We use PostHog, hosted in the EU, for limited cookieless product analytics. It tells us which parts of the Brew Assistant, learning paths and recipe tools people use, without telling us who they are.

PostHog is configured with cookies, autocapture, pageview capture, person profiles and session recording all off. Events are sent only at the specific points we have chosen.

Depending on the event, the properties sent are:

• entry point, whether a returning brew exists, and espresso or filter method group;
• the selected method and a predefined issue category;
• rule ID, adjustment type, direction and attempt number;
• whether feedback was helpful;
• related-content type and canonical content slug;
• learning path, lesson and recipe slugs for explicit completion, save and navigation actions;
• the selected servings multiplier or unit system, but never the entered espresso dose;
• validation step and predefined error category;
• which colour theme was chosen, when you change it;
• that a brew timer was started on a recipe, and which recipe;
• that the site was opened from a home screen, or that the offline page was shown;
• the analytics schema version attached to every event.

We do not send your email address, free text, exact dose, yield, water, brew time or temperature, a full recipe, or any session ID. Brew history, Learn progress, Saved recipes and Recently viewed history stay in your own browser and are never uploaded.

If you block analytics with a browser extension or a content blocker, the Brew Assistant carries on working exactly as before.
