privacy
Last updated: 2 November 2026
The Pull & Taste iPhone app and this website collect no personal data. There are no accounts, ads or trackers.
usage statistics
The app sends anonymous usage statistics through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service based in Germany: which features are used (for example, that a shot was timed and whether it was on time), the app version and the iOS version. Device identifiers are hashed before they leave your iPhone, so the data can't be traced back to you, and it is never used for advertising or shared. You can switch this off in the app under Settings › Privacy. The website sends no usage statistics.
microphone and motion
The shot timer uses your microphone and, if you choose, your motion sensor to recognise your espresso machine's pump. This happens on your device, in real time. Sound and motion data are never recorded to a file or uploaded.
what is stored, and where
- App: your settings, timer calibration, shot log and beans, stored only on your iPhone. Deleting the app deletes them. Exports are only created when you tap Export, and go wherever you send them.
- Website: your timer calibration, settings, recipe choices and the shot in progress, stored only in your browser and never sent anywhere. Settings › Clear saved settings removes them.
sharing test data
The app can create a file with the last 90 seconds of sound and the timer's measurements, to help fix the timer for your machine. It is only shared if you send it yourself, to whoever you choose, through the share sheet. If you send it to the developer, it is used only to improve the timer and deleted on request.
contact form
If you use the contact form, what you enter (your email address and your message) is stored by Netlify and sent to the developer, only to answer you. It is deleted when the question is dealt with, or earlier on request.
website hosting
The website is hosted by Netlify, which processes your IP address to deliver the pages. Fonts are served from this site; the pages make no third-party requests. Links to the App Store take you to Apple, whose privacy policy applies there, and Safari on iPhone may show its own banner for the app.
