Information we handle
- Account information. If you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication information needed to sign you in. Password authentication is handled by Supabase; Bottle Vault does not display or store your readable password.
- Collection content. We store the wine and spirit details, storage layouts, bottle locations, preferences, tasting notes, pairings, drinking reminders, and other Insights that you enter.
- Bottle-label images. When you choose to identify a wine or spirit, the selected photograph is sent securely to our Supabase server function and to OpenAI for image analysis. The recognition result is returned to you for review. Bottle Vault does not use label photographs for advertising or sell them.
- Device storage. Bottle Vault keeps an on-device copy of your collection so the app can remain useful between sessions. A cloud copy is stored only when you create and use a Bottle Vault account.
How we use information
We use information only to provide and improve the features you request, including authenticating your account, syncing your vault between devices, identifying bottle labels, displaying your collection, and responding to support or privacy requests.
Service providers
Bottle Vault uses Supabase for authentication, database storage, synchronization, and server functions. OpenAI processes bottle-label images submitted for identification and returns structured wine or spirit details. Apple and Google may process information connected with downloading, updating, or diagnosing the app under their own privacy policies.
Sharing, advertising, and tracking
Bottle Vault does not sell personal information, display third-party advertising, or use cross-app advertising trackers. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a business transfer subject to appropriate protections.
Retention and deletion
Cloud account information and collection content are retained while your account remains active. You may permanently delete your account from Settings → Delete account. Deletion removes your Bottle Vault authentication account and associated cloud vault and clears the Bottle Vault collection stored on that device. This action cannot be undone.
You may use Bottle Vault without an account. Data used only on the device can be removed by deleting content within the app or uninstalling the app.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including encrypted network connections and access controls. No storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may exercise deletion directly in the app. For another privacy request, contact us below.
Children
Bottle Vault is intended for adults managing wine and spirits collections. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards apply to such transfers.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Bottle Vault changes. We will update the effective date and provide notice when required.
