Privacy Policy
Last updated November 9, 2026
SmokeRate is a personal cigar log. This page explains what we collect, why, and what control you have. Short version: your log is yours, we don't sell it, and you can export or delete it any time.
What we collect
- Account: your email address and a password (stored hashed by our authentication provider). We also record that you confirmed you're 21 or older.
- What you log: cigars, ratings, notes, check-ins, pairings, lounges, purchases, budget, and photos you upload.
- Basic technical data: standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) kept briefly for security and troubleshooting.
How we use it
- To run the app for you: store your log, show your stats, and keep you signed in.
- When you use photo tag reading or Find a match, the photo or your preferences are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to produce the result. Anthropic does not use API data to train its models.
- We don't sell your data, share it with advertisers, or show ads.
Who processes it
- Supabase: accounts, database and photo storage.
- Render: hosting the website.
- Anthropic: AI features, only when you use them.
Who can see your data
Only you. Your records and photos are private to your account. Photos are served through short-lived private links.
Your choices
- Export: "Export my data" at the bottom of the app downloads everything as a file.
- Delete: "Delete account" permanently removes your account, records and photos.
- Questions or requests: teamsmokerate@gmail.com.
Age
SmokeRate is only for adults 21 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone younger. If you believe a minor has signed up, contact us and we'll delete the account.
Changes
If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll update the date above and let users know in the app.
