2.1. Data stored locally on your device

Gota stores your brew logs, custom recipes, bean library and preferences exclusively on your device. This data is not transmitted to our servers and we have no access to it.

2.2. Crash reports and diagnostics

We use Sentry to receive technical crash reports (exception type, app version, anonymized device model). No direct personal identifiers are included.

2.3. Subscriptions and purchases

Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We use RevenueCat to validate your subscription status via an anonymous identifier generated by the app. We do not receive or store payment data, card details or your Apple ID.

2.4. AI features (Gota Pro)

When you use AI analysis, the images or text you submit are processed on our servers and, where applicable, forwarded to AI model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic or Google) strictly to generate the response. Content is not retained after processing and is not used to train models.

3. Purposes and legal basis (Art. 6 GDPR)

Providing the service and Pro features — performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
Validating subscriptions via RevenueCat — performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
Technical diagnostics and stability (Sentry) — legitimate interest in keeping the app operational and secure (Art. 6(1)(f)).
