Summary of Key Points
This summary provides key points from our privacy notice, but you can find out more details about any of these topics by clicking the link following each key point or by using our table of contents below to find the section you are looking for.
What personal information do we process? The Dakka app has no accounts and no purchases. We process what you choose to submit (such as cafe suggestions or an email to us) and anonymous usage analytics — the screens you view, the cafes and buttons you tap, and your searches including the search text, filters, and sort order — tied to a random identifier the app generates, not to your identity.
Do we process any sensitive personal information? We do not process sensitive personal information.
What about my location and photos? If you grant permission, your location is used on your device to sort cafes by distance and is not sent to our servers. Photos you use in the coffee tracker stay on your device.
Do you receive any information from third parties? We may receive information from third parties.
How do you process my information? We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent. We process your information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so.
In what situations and with which parties do we share personal information? We may share information in specific situations and with specific third parties.
How do we keep your information safe? We have organizational and technical processes and procedures in place to protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
What are your rights? Depending on where you are located geographically, the applicable privacy law may mean you have certain rights regarding your personal information.
How do I exercise my rights? The easiest way to exercise your rights is by contacting us. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

1. What information do we collect?
In Short: The Dakka app does not require an account. We collect the information you choose to send us, and anonymous usage analytics that are tied to a random app-generated identifier rather than to your identity.
Information you provide to us. The Dakka app has no sign-up, no login, and no in-app purchases, so we do not collect names, passwords, or payment details through it. We only receive information you actively submit:
- Cafe suggestions and corrections. When you suggest a cafe or report incorrect information (for example an amenity that is wrong), we receive what you type — such as the cafe's Instagram handle, the amenity you flagged, and any notes you add.
- Contact information. If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
Sensitive Information. We do not collect or process sensitive personal information.
Information stored only on your device. Some features work entirely on your phone and the data behind them is never sent to us:
- Bookmarks. Your saved cafes are stored in the app's local storage on your device.
- Coffee tracker photos. Photos you pick from your photo library for the coffee tracker are processed on your device and are not uploaded to our servers. We request photo library access only when you use that feature.
- Precise location. If you grant location permission, the app uses your coordinates on your device to sort cafes by distance and show your position on the map. Your coordinates are not sent to our servers and are not attached to analytics events. You can withdraw this permission at any time in your device settings; the app remains usable without it.
Usage analytics we collect automatically. To understand how the app is used and where to improve it, the app sends usage events to our own servers at https://dakka.app. Each event contains:
- a random device identifier generated by the app on first launch (not your device's advertising ID or hardware ID, and not linked to your name, email, or account);
- a session identifier, which resets after 30 minutes in the background;
- the screen you are on and how long you spent on it;
- the action taken — for example opening a cafe, adding or removing a bookmark, tapping call, website, Instagram, directions, or share, viewing a photo tour, completing onboarding, or submitting a suggestion;
- the cafe involved, where the action relates to a specific listing;
- for searches: the search text you entered, the location and amenity filters you applied, the sort order you chose, and how many results were returned;
- your platform (iOS or Android) and the app version;
- the time the event occurred.
Events are queued on your device and sent in batches, so they may arrive some time after the action itself. Please avoid typing personal information into the search box, as the search text is included in these events.
- Push Notifications. If you allow notifications, our notification provider (OneSignal) assigns your installation a push token so we can send you notifications. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.
- Server logs. Like most online services, our servers and hosting providers log technical request data, including IP address, which is used for security and troubleshooting.
2. How do we process your information?
In Short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.
We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:
- To deliver the Services. We process your requests so the app can show cafes, maps, photos, and details.
- To improve the app and understand usage trends. We use the analytics events described above to see which screens, cafes, and features are used, what people search for, and which filters and sort options matter — so we can prioritise what to build and which cafe data to improve. This analysis is done in aggregate.
- To maintain and improve our cafe database. We review the cafe suggestions and corrections you submit and use them to add or fix listings.
- To respond to your inquiries and offer support. We use the contact details in your message to reply to you.
- To send push notifications, where you have allowed them, about new cafes and app updates.
- To protect our Services. We process technical and request data to keep the Services secure, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot problems.
- To comply with legal obligations, where applicable law requires it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your information to deliver targeted advertising.
5. Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?
In Short: Our app uses first-party analytics tied to a random identifier. We do not use advertising trackers.
In the app. The Dakka app does not use cookies. It stores a randomly generated device identifier in the app's local storage and includes it with the usage events described in section 1, so we can tell how many distinct installations produced a set of events. This identifier is created by the app, is not your device's advertising identifier, and cannot be used by us to identify you personally. Deleting and reinstalling the app generates a new identifier and clears any events still waiting to be sent.
Third-party trackers. Analytics events are sent to our own servers rather than to an advertising network. We do not embed advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs. Our push notification provider (OneSignal) processes a push token on our behalf where you have enabled notifications.
On our website. Our website uses cookies only where necessary to operate the site, such as keeping an editor signed in to our internal tools. Most browsers accept cookies by default and let you remove or reject them in their settings.
6. How long do we keep your information?
In Short: We keep your information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this notice, unless a longer period is required by law.
Usage analytics events are retained so we can compare activity over time; we review them periodically and delete or aggregate events we no longer need. Cafe suggestions and corrections are kept for as long as they remain relevant to our cafe database. Correspondence you send us is kept for as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up. Data stored only on your device — bookmarks and coffee tracker photos — remains under your control and is removed when you delete the app or clear its data.
7. How do we keep your information safe?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
8. Do we collect information from minors?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at hello@dakka.app.
9. What are your privacy rights?
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.
If you are located in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available here: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "How can you contact us about this notice?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Usage analytics: If you would prefer us not to collect usage analytics from your installation, you can stop the collection by deleting the app. You may also email us at hello@dakka.app and we will remove the events associated with your installation where we can identify them.
Location, photos, and notifications: You can grant or withdraw the app's location, photo library, and notification permissions at any time in your device settings. The app continues to work without them, with the related features disabled.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.
