Privacy

In short: Vinovide needs no account. Your photos are analysed and not stored. Your wishes, favourite wine and shops stay on your phone. No ads, no tracking.

2. The Vinovide app

2.1 Analysing shelf, list and label photos

When you start an analysis, the app sends the following to our server over an encrypted connection (HTTPS):

• the photos you took or picked (shelf, wine list or label),
• your wishes (e.g. colour, budget, food, occasion, taste) and, if given, the name of your favourite wine,
• the app language.

Our server (vinovide.expo.app) runs on EAS Hosting by 650 Industries, Inc. (“Expo”), 624 University Ave FL1, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA, which uses Cloudflare among others. It forwards photos and wishes to Anthropic PBC, 548 Market St, PMB 90375, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA (Claude API), which reads labels and prices and returns the recommendation shown in the app.

We do not store the photos. Per request our server only logs technical details such as time, duration, number of photos and cost – no photos and no wishes. According to Anthropic, API data is not used for training, and inputs and outputs are deleted automatically within 30 days – longer only if a request violates Anthropic’s usage policy (up to 2 years) or the law requires it.

Please avoid photographing people or private documents. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (providing the feature you requested).

2.2 Data that stays on your device

Your wishes, the name and label photo of your favourite wine, and the photos and names of your saved shops are stored only in the app on your device. We have no access to them. Deleting the app deletes them.

2.3 Camera and photo library

The app asks for camera and photo library access so you can take or pick photos. It only reads the photos you choose. You can revoke access at any time in the iPhone settings.

2.4 App updates

The app downloads small updates from Expo’s servers (u.expo.dev). Technically necessary data such as IP address, app version and device type are transmitted. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

2.5 Subscription and in-app purchases

Purchases are handled by Apple through your Apple account. We receive no payment details, name or email – only whether a subscription is active.

2.6 No ads, no tracking

The app contains no advertising, no analytics and no cross-app tracking.

3. This website
