Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 3, 2026

Bar Buddy (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the Bar Buddy mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Information We Collect

Account Information. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your name, email address, and a unique identifier. Apple Sign-In may provide a private relay email address instead of your real email.

Bar and Recipe Data. We store the ingredients, recipes, and bar configurations you create within the App. This data is associated with your account so it can sync across your devices.

Usage Data. We collect basic usage information such as login timestamps to maintain and improve the service. We do not track your activity outside the App.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the App’s features (bar inventory, recipes, sharing).
  • To process your subscription and in-app purchases.
  • To send transactional communications (e.g., invite notifications).
  • To improve the App based on aggregate usage patterns.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

  • Apple App Store — for subscription and purchase verification.
  • Infrastructure providers (AWS) — to host and operate the service. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Data Retention

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the App.

Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), secure token storage, and database encryption at rest.

Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
