VinoKeep ("the app") is developed by Northern App Dev ("we", "us"). VinoKeep is built local-first: no account is required to use the app, no ads, and no third-party tracking.
VinoKeep stores your wine cellar locally in a database on your phone, including the bottles you add (name, vintage, region, grape, quantity, tasting notes and photos), your favourites and tasting history, and your app settings. This data stays on your device unless you choose to enable cloud backup (see below).
If you tag a bottle as a gift, you can pick a name from your phone's contacts using the device's own contact picker. Only the selected name is stored in VinoKeep; no other contact data is accessed, stored or uploaded.
When you look up a wine, VinoKeep sends only the wine name or search text you type to open data sources (such as Vinmonopolet's open product data and, as a fallback, Open Food Facts) to fetch details like producer, region and grape. No other data about you, your cellar or your contacts is sent for this feature.
When you scan a wine label, the photo is processed on your device using on-device text recognition (Google ML Kit) to read the label text. The photo and recognised text are not uploaded to us; only the resulting search text may be used for the wine lookup described above.
If you are a Premium subscriber and choose to turn on cloud backup, your cellar data is synced to Google Firebase under an account tied to your installation, so you can restore it or sync between your own devices. You can turn this off again in settings at any time.
You can export your cellar as an XML file to a folder or cloud drive of your choice, using your device's own file picker. We do not receive a copy of these exports.
VinoKeep offers an optional Premium subscription, processed by Google Play Billing (and the App Store on iOS) via RevenueCat. We do not receive or store your payment details.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent changes.
