Privacy Policy

Singles · singlebottles.com

Singles (“Singles,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the singlebottles.com mobile application and related services (collectively, the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use our App. By creating an account or using Singles, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Singles is intended for users who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

• Account registration: email address, username, password (hashed), and date of birth (to verify you are 21+).
• Profile information: optional preferences such as whiskey styles, flavor profiles, and preferred price ranges.
• Subscription information: if you subscribe to our ad-free tier, billing is processed by a third-party payment provider (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play). We do not store full credit card numbers.
• Communications: messages you send to our support team.

1.2 Information We Collect Automatically

• Usage data: bottles swiped (liked/passed), saves, tap events, screens visited, and session duration.
• Device information: device type, operating system version, app version, and a unique device identifier.
• Approximate location: if you grant permission, we use your location to surface store picks near you. Precise GPS coordinates are not stored; only an approximate metropolitan area is retained.
• Crash and diagnostic logs: anonymized error reports to help us improve stability.

1.3 Information from Third Parties

• Tastebud API: we receive whiskey product data, store pick information, and barrel details from Tastebud to power the discovery experience. See Section 4 for details on data sharing with Tastebud.
• App store platforms: Apple and Google may share limited account information (e.g., whether you have an active subscription) with us as permitted by their developer agreements.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and maintain your Singles account.
• Power the whiskey discovery experience — matching you with single barrel store picks based on your preferences and location.
• Process and manage your subscription.
• Send transactional communications (e.g., account confirmations, password resets, policy updates).
• Improve, personalize, and develop the App and its features.
• Monitor for and respond to technical issues, abuse, and security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your personal information to serve you behavioral advertising.

3. Age Restriction

Singles is an alcohol-related application and is strictly intended for users aged 21 and older. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 21 years of age. We may ask you to confirm your date of birth during registration. If we learn that a user is under 21, we will promptly close that account and delete the associated personal information. If you believe a minor has registered, please contact us at privacy@singlebottles.com.

4. Data Sharing with Tastebud

Singles uses the Tastebud API to power our whiskey data layer. As part of this integration:

What we share with Tastebud

• Your Singles user ID (an anonymized, internal identifier) — so Tastebud can associate API requests with an authenticated session.
• We do NOT share your name, email address, or any other directly identifiable personal information with Tastebud under normal operation.

What we receive from Tastebud

• Whiskey product metadata, barrel details, tasting notes, and store pick availability.
• We may also receive anonymized, aggregated usage signals from Tastebud to help improve recommendation quality.

Safety and abuse investigations

In the event of suspected malicious behavior, fraud, or a violation of our Terms of Use, we may coordinate with Tastebud to investigate the incident. Such coordination may involve sharing your Singles user ID and a description of the suspected activity. Your name and email would only be shared with Tastebud in this context if required by applicable law or a valid legal process. Any such sharing is limited to what is strictly necessary for the investigation.

Tastebud's own privacy policy governs how Tastebud handles any data it receives. We encourage you to review Tastebud's privacy policy independently.

5. Other Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only to provide services to us. They include:

• Supabase:our backend database and authentication provider. User account data is stored securely within Supabase's infrastructure.
• Cloud infrastructure providers: for hosting and content delivery.
• Crash reporting and analytics: anonymized diagnostic data only.
• Payment processors: Apple App Store and Google Play handle subscription billing. We do not receive or store your full payment card information.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the App. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, tax, or fraud prevention purposes. Aggregated and anonymized data (which cannot identify you) may be retained indefinitely for analytics.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Deletion:request that we delete your personal information (“right to be forgotten”).
• Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Opt-out of data sale: we do not sell personal data, so this right is automatically satisfied.
• Opt-out of profiling: you can contact us to limit automated profiling used for personalization.

Minnesota residents have additional rights under the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA), including the right to obtain a list of third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@singlebottles.com. We will respond within 30 days (or the timeframe required by applicable law). We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

8. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encrypted connections (TLS), hashed passwords, and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at privacy@singlebottles.com.

9. No Collection from Minors

Singles is not directed at, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, individuals under the age of 21. If you are under 21, please do not use this App or provide us with any personal information. If we discover we have received information from a user under 21, we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and, for material changes, notify you via in-app notification or email. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
