Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Tipple is a local-first iOS app. Most users will never touch our servers. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and what we never do.

What we collect

• Nothing by default. Your journal — every tasting, pour, tag, venue, cellar item, photo — lives in SwiftData on your device. We do not see it, sync it, log it, or back it up.
• App Store purchase state. If you buy Tipple Pro, Apple tells your device "this Apple ID is entitled." We never see your card details, name, or email.

What we never do

• No third-party analytics SDKs (no Mixpanel / Amplitude / Firebase / PostHog).
• No advertising SDKs.
• No crash-reporting SDKs (we use Apple's built-in MetricKit only).
• No data brokers, no affiliate tracking.
• No selling, no sharing, no "anonymized aggregate" reselling.

Third-party services we DO touch

• Apple App Store. Processes your one-time $14.99 unlock. We see a transaction identifier; never your card. Apple's policy: apple.com/legal/privacy.
• Location services — only if you tag a tasting with a venue and grant "When in Use" permission. Coordinates stay on your device.

How long we keep things

On-device: forever, until you delete the app or tap "Delete everything" in Settings. On our servers: nothing — we don't have user records.

Deleting your data

Settings → Delete everything wipes every tasting, pour, venue, and cellar item on your device.

Children

Tipple is intended for adults of legal drinking age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, adult or child, because we do not collect data at all.
