Wine Wingman Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 January 2026

Wine Wingman (“we”, “us”) is designed to help you search and scan wines and see value insights. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it.

Information we collect
Camera (barcode scanning)

What: Access to your device camera.

Why: To scan wine barcodes inside the app.

Notes: We do not record or store continuous video. Images are used only to detect barcodes. If scanning requires temporary processing, it is limited to the scan function.

Location (store finding)

What: Approximate and/or precise location (depending on permissions you grant).

Why: To find nearby supported stores and improve store selection.

Control: You can use the app without location by manually selecting a store where available.

Account and identifiers

What: Sign-in information (e.g., Google Sign-In token/ID), and app/device identifiers used to keep sessions working and link purchases to your account.

Why: To authenticate you, keep you signed in, and manage premium access.

Purchases and subscriptions

What: Purchase and subscription status (entitlements), transaction metadata, and restoration status.

Why: To enable and manage premium features.

Processed by: Google Play Billing and our subscription provider (e.g., RevenueCat) on our behalf.

Usage, diagnostics, and logs

What: Basic app usage events and error/crash diagnostics (may include device type, OS version, timestamps, and event context).

Why: To maintain reliability, troubleshoot issues, and improve performance.

How we use information

We use the above information to:

Provide core functionality (scan/search, store selection, pricing/value insights)

Authenticate accounts and provide premium features

Prevent abuse and keep services secure

Debug, measure performance, and improve the app

Sharing and third parties

We share information only as needed to operate the app, including with:

Google (sign-in and Google Play Billing)

Subscription processing (e.g., RevenueCat) to manage entitlements

Infrastructure providers that host our backend services and databases

Analytics/crash reporting providers (if enabled) for stability and improvement

We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide the service, meet legal/financial obligations (e.g., subscription records), resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We may retain aggregated or de-identified data for product improvement.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.

Your choices

You can disable camera and location permissions in your device settings (some features may not function).

You can request account data deletion by contacting us (see Contact).

Children’s privacy

Wine Wingman is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the app.
