Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how small-batch-kombucha-brew-tracker.hub2.day (“the site”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use the Kombucha Brew Tracker. The site is a browser-side fermentation log for home kombucha brewers. We aim to be clear about what data is stored, why, and what choices you have.

What the site does

The Kombucha Brew Tracker helps you record first and second fermentation stages, flavor additions, and carbonation results across batches. Most of this data is processed and stored in your browser so you can keep a searchable history of what worked for your home brewing.

Information we collect

1. Browser-local project inputs

When you enter batch details, flavor notes, dates, or carbonation results, that information is stored locally in your browser (for example, using localStorage or similar browser storage). We do not automatically receive or store this data on our servers. If you clear your browser data, that information may be lost unless you export it yourself.

2. Contact email

If you contact us at hello@small-batch-kombucha-brew-tracker.hub2.day, we will see the content of your message and any information you choose to include. We use this only to respond to your request and to improve the site where appropriate.

3. Server and security logs

When you visit the site, our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and basic operational monitoring. They are not used to build a personal profile of you.

4. Cookies and local storage

The site may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• Remembering your preferences and settings.
• Supporting core functionality of the tracker.
• Displaying and managing advertisements (including Google AdSense).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features of the site may not work correctly if cookies or local storage are disabled.

5. Google AdSense and advertising

The site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. This can include the use of identifiers such as cookie IDs or advertising IDs.

Where required by law, we seek your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies, including those used for personalized advertising.

You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your ad personalization at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Service providers

We use third-party service providers to host the site, deliver content, and serve advertisements. These providers may process limited technical data (such as IP addresses and access logs) on our behalf. They are expected to handle data in accordance with applicable laws and our instructions.

Examples include:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Google (for AdSense and related advertising services).

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. Any sharing with advertising partners is for the purpose of delivering and measuring ads, and is subject to applicable privacy laws.

Data retention

• Browser-local data: Stays in your browser until you clear it or delete it within the site.
• Contact messages: Retained as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping, then deleted or anonymized.
• Server/security logs: Typically retained for a limited period (for example, a few weeks to a few months) for security and operational purposes, then deleted or anonymized.

Children’s privacy

The site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@small-batch-kombucha-brew-tracker.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for protecting your device and browser where your local brewing data is stored.

Third-party links and services

The site may link to third-party websites or services (for example, Google’s privacy policy or ad settings). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any information.

International processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms) to protect your data.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

• Accessing, correcting, or deleting certain personal information.
• Objecting to or restricting certain processing.
• Withdrawing consent for cookies and similar technologies.
• Opting out of personalized advertising.
