Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026
Continental Coin ("Continental Coin," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by King Taurus Management LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you use the Continental Coin mobile application and related services (the "Service"), whether you are a Consumer or a Coin Holder (business).
By using Continental Coin, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Directly
All users:
- Name, email address, and phone number
- Date of birth (used solely to verify you are 18 years of age or older; the Service is not intended for use by anyone under 18)
- Password (stored securely; we never store plaintext passwords)
- Profile photo (optional)
Consumers:
- City and zip code, used to support location-relevant discovery
- Saved businesses, follows, and preferences
- Messages exchanged with Ce Ce, our booking assistant
Coin Holders (businesses):
- Business name, tagline, bio, and category
- Business address
- Business hours
- Social media links and third-party booking platform URLs (e.g., Booksy, The Cut, Squire)
- Promotional content you create (offers, promo messages)
- Gold tier subscription purchases, which are processed by Apple (iOS) or Google (Android) and managed by RevenueCat (see Section 3). We never receive or store your card numbers.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Proximity/Bluetooth data: Continental Coin uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to detect nearby Coin Holder businesses that have opted in to broadcasting. Consumers' devices detect anonymized broadcast tokens, not persistent identifiers, in order to generate an "encounter" between a Consumer and a nearby Coin Holder. When Discovery is on, this detection can continue while the app is in the background or the screen is locked; on Android, a persistent notification is shown while it is active. You can turn Discovery off at any time in Settings. We store encounter records (which business was detected, when, and an estimated Bluetooth signal distance), but we do not collect or store your GPS location.
- Usage and analytics data: We collect information about how you interact with the Service — for example, which businesses you view, save, or book with — to power features like your Digest tab and to give Coin Holders aggregate, anonymized performance analytics (e.g., "Reached," "Viewed," "Saved," "Booked" counts). Coin Holders do not receive your individual identity through these analytics unless you take an action that shares it (such as booking an appointment).
- Device and technical data: device type, operating system version, and app version, collected for troubleshooting and compatibility purposes.
- Push notification tokens: used to deliver notifications you have enabled (e.g., booking confirmations, new promos, birthday offers).
1.3 Information from Third-Party Integrations
If you choose to connect third-party services, we may receive limited information from them:
- Google Calendar: if a Coin Holder connects their Google Calendar, we access calendar availability (free/busy times) to support accurate booking scheduling through Ce Ce and to prevent double-booking, and we create calendar events for the bookings Consumers make with that Coin Holder. We do not read the contents of existing calendar events. See Section 1.4 for details.
1.4 Google User Data
This section describes how we handle information we receive from Google APIs when a Coin Holder chooses to connect their Google Calendar. Connecting Google Calendar is optional and is available only to Coin Holders.
What we access. When you connect, we ask Google for permission to use the following scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.freebusy (view your availability)https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.owned (create events on calendars you own)
We use these permissions for two purposes only:
- Availability: we ask Google which times on your primary calendar are busy (free/busy information only) so that Ce Ce can offer Consumers open booking times and avoid double-booking. The busy times are used to build the list of open times for that request and are not stored. Consumers see only the open time slots, never the details of your calendar.
- Booking events: when a Consumer books an appointment with you through Ce Ce, we create an event on your primary calendar. The event contains the service booked and the name and phone number the Consumer provided for the booking. We store the Google-assigned event ID with the booking record.
What we do not access. We do not read the titles, descriptions, attendees, locations, or other contents of your existing calendar events. We do not update or delete calendar events. We do not access your email, contacts, or any other Google data.
How we use it. We use Google user data only to provide the Ce Ce booking feature described above. We do not use it for advertising, and we never sell it.
Sharing. We do not share Google user data with third parties except as necessary to provide the booking feature (for example, our hosting providers that store the connection on our behalf), as required by law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
No AI/ML training. Google user data is not used to develop, improve, or train generalized AI and/or machine learning models. Google Calendar data is not sent to OpenAI.
How we store tokens. The access and refresh tokens Google issues when you connect are stored in our database, which is encrypted at rest by our hosting provider (Supabase). They are used only by our servers to make calendar requests on your behalf and are not sent to the app.
Disconnecting and deletion. You can disconnect Google Calendar at any time from the Google Calendar setting in your Coin Holder dashboard in the app, which deletes the tokens we have stored. You can also revoke Continental Coin's access from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions. To request deletion of any information we hold related to your Google Calendar connection, contact us at ossiris@continentalcoin.app.
Continental Coin's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain the Service, including BLE-based proximity discovery and matching
- Facilitate bookings and communications between Consumers and Coin Holders through Ce Ce
- Send transactional notifications you have enabled (bookings, confirmations, declines, new messages, promos, birthday offers)
- Provide Coin Holders with aggregate performance analytics about their business's engagement on the platform
- Process Gold tier subscription payments
- Verify that users meet our minimum age requirement (18+)
- Improve, secure, and troubleshoot the Service
- Communicate with you about your account or the Service

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. How We Share Your Information
We share information only as described below:
- With Coin Holders: if you book an appointment, save a profile, or otherwise interact directly with a Coin Holder, that Coin Holder may see relevant information necessary to fulfill your request (e.g., your name and phone number for a booking).
-
Service providers: we use trusted third-party providers to operate the Service, including:
- Supabase (database hosting)
- Twilio (SMS-based verification codes; may in the future support additional SMS features)
- Apple (App Store payments for Gold tier subscriptions purchased on iOS — Apple receives your payment details directly; we do not store card numbers)
- Google (Google Play payments for Gold tier subscriptions purchased on Android — Google receives your payment details directly; we do not store card numbers)
- RevenueCat (subscription management; receives purchase and subscription status and an app user identifier)
- OpenAI (powers Ce Ce, our AI booking assistant; messages you send to Ce Ce may be processed by OpenAI's API to generate responses)
- Google Calendar (booking availability, for Coin Holders who connect it)
- AWS (server infrastructure)
- Cloudflare (content delivery and security)
These providers are contractually restricted from using your information for any purpose other than providing services to us.
SMS/mobile opt-in data: No mobile information, including phone numbers and consent status, obtained through the Ce Ce SMS opt-in process will be shared with or sold to any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in data is used solely to send the appointment-related messages described in our SMS Terms.
- Legal requirements: we may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Continental Coin, our users, or others.
- Business transfers: if Continental Coin is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
4. Your Choices and Rights
- Access and correction: you can review and update most of your profile information directly within the app.
- Notification preferences: you can enable or disable individual push notification types in Settings.
- Account deletion: you may request deletion of your account and associated personal information by contacting us at the email below. We will delete your information except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention or dispute resolution).
- State privacy rights: depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to know what information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of certain data uses. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Anonymized or aggregated analytics data may be retained after account deletion, as it no longer identifies you individually.
6. Data Security
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted credential storage, role-based access controls, and secure infrastructure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's Privacy
Continental Coin is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We use date-of-birth verification during onboarding to enforce this. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.
8. International Users
Continental Coin is based in the United States, and information we collect is processed and stored in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
