1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy governs your use of the software application Cocktail Guide Pro ("Application") for mobile devices, created by 3rdWord Labs ("Developer", "We", "Us").
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data privacy. Our operational philosophy is "Offline First, Privacy First." This means the Application is designed to function entirely without an internet connection, ensuring that your personal usage data remains strictly on your device.
2. Data Collection & Sovereignty
A. Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
We do not collect, transmit, store, or share any Personal Identifiable Information. We do not require account registration, email addresses, or phone numbers to use the Application.
B. Usage Data & "My Bar" Inventory
The Application allows users to save "Favorites" and input ingredients into the "My Bar" feature. This data is stored using Local Device Storage technologies (SharedPreferences/NSUserDefaults/LocalStorage).
- This data resides solely within the Application's isolated sandbox on your device.
- This data is never uploaded to a cloud server operated by the Developer.
- If you uninstall the Application or clear the Application's storage, this data will be permanently deleted.
3. Android Permissions & Device Access
The Application requests specific permissions solely to provide core functionality. We do not access sensitive sensors (camera, microphone, contacts) for any purpose.
- Haptic Feedback (Vibration): Used to provide tactile confirmation when interacting with buttons (e.g., adding favorites).
- Wake Lock (Prevent Sleep): Used exclusively within the "Recipe View" to keep the screen active while the user is actively mixing a drink. This prevents the device from locking while your hands are occupied.
- Storage/File Access: Used strictly if the user explicitly initiates a "Share" or "Save" action via the native Android share sheet.
4. Alcohol Consumption & Liability Disclaimer
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: This Application provides cocktail recipes for informational and entertainment purposes only. It is intended for use by responsible adults of legal drinking age in their respective jurisdiction.
Limitation of Liability: The Developer assumes no responsibility or liability for any damages, health issues, or legal consequences arising from the consumption of alcohol based on recipes found in this Application. Users are solely responsible for their own health and safety. We explicitly disclaim liability for any actions taken by users while under the influence of alcohol. Always Drink Responsibly. Never Drink and Drive.
5. Third-Party Services
The Application may be distributed via the Google Play Store. As such, the Google Play Services SDK may be present to facilitate installation and updates. The Developer does not integrate third-party analytics SDKs (such as Firebase Analytics or Facebook Pixel) inside the Application to track user behavior.
Any statistical data regarding download numbers or crash reports provided by the Google Play Console is anonymized and aggregated by Google, subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
6. Children’s Privacy
This Application features content related to alcohol and is not intended for individuals under the legal drinking age or children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information (which is technically impossible given our no-collection architecture), please contact us.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
