WineLens ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application for wine bottle recognition and cellar management.
We do not collect any personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or phone number. WineLens does not require an account to use.
When you scan a wine bottle, the label image may be sent to our recognition service to identify the wine. The image is processed only to return identification results and is not used to identify you, train models on your personal data, or shared with third parties for advertising purposes.
Your cellar information — including saved bottles, ratings, tasting notes, and collection statistics — is stored locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to our servers unless you opt in to backup features.
When you chat with the AI sommelier, your messages are sent to our AI provider to generate responses. Conversations are processed in real time and are not linked to your identity. We do not store the content of your chats on our servers.
We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (such as crash reports and feature usage counts) to improve the app. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
The app stores the following on your device:
We use information to:
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share limited information with trusted service providers (such as our AI recognition and chat partners) strictly to operate WineLens.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) when transmitting data between your device and our services. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.
Your cellar data and preferences remain on your device until you delete the app or reset your settings. Wine recognition images are processed transiently and are not retained on our servers beyond what is needed to deliver results.
WineLens is intended for users of legal drinking age in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
WineLens uses third-party services for wine recognition, AI sommelier responses, crash reporting, and price data. These providers process data only on our behalf and are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection agreements.
Our recognition technology uses computer vision and machine learning models to identify wine labels. Submitted images are used only to return identification results and are not used to build personal profiles.
WineLens complies with both Apple's App Store and Google Play Store guidelines and privacy requirements:
