Privacy Policy
Last updated November 12, 2026
This policy covers the Cedar iPhone app and this website, both run by Parra LLC ("we"). The short version: your journal lives on your iPhone, we have no account system, and we cannot see what you log.
What stays on your iPhone
Everything you enter in Cedar is stored only on your device:
- Humidors, cigars, counts, prices, vintages and notes
- Smoke sessions, ratings, tasting notes, flavor tags and drink pairings
- Drinks, favorites and your pairings library
- Humidity readings and care reminders
- Photos you attach, documents you import, and PDFs you export
We do not run a server that receives this data, and Cedar does not sync it to us. If your iPhone is backed up to iCloud or a computer, that backup is handled by Apple under your Apple account settings.
Camera and photos
When you scan a cigar band, Cedar reads the text on your iPhone using Apple's Vision framework. The image is not uploaded. A band photo is saved only if you keep it with a session or cigar. Photos you pick from your library are copied into Cedar on your device.
Notifications
Humidity checks, Boveda swaps and aging milestones are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. No push service or server is involved.
Crash reports
Cedar uses Firebase Crashlytics (Google) to tell us when the app crashes. A crash report contains technical details such as the device model, iOS version, app version, a stack trace and a random installation identifier. It does not contain your journal entries, photos or notes. We use crash reports only to fix bugs. Google processes them under the Firebase privacy terms.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are handled by Apple through the App Store. We receive no payment details. Cedar checks your purchase status with Apple on your device.
When you email us
If you write to support@parra.io, we receive your email address and whatever you include, and we use it only to reply. We delete support emails when they are no longer needed.
This website
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes standard request data such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share your personal information.
- We do not use your data for advertising or tracking.
- We do not build profiles about you.
Deleting your data
Because your data is on your iPhone, you control it. Delete entries in the app, or delete Cedar to remove everything it stored. Remember to delete any exported PDFs or files you saved elsewhere.
Age
Cedar is intended for adults of legal smoking age where they live, and is rated 17+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information. Since we hold no journal data, most requests concern crash reports or support emails. Contact us at support@parra.io and we will help.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date above. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
