Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-02-14

Barback is a cocktail recipe and home bar inventory app. This policy explains what information Barback collects and how it’s used.

Information Barback collects

• No account required. Barback does not require you to create an account.
• App data you enter. If you choose to track your home bar (ingredients you own), that information is stored locally on your device.
• Purchase information. Premium purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Barback does not receive or store your payment card details.

Information Barback does not collect

• Barback does not sell your personal information.
• Barback does not collect precise location data.
• Barback does not access your contacts, photos, or microphone unless explicitly added in a future version (and only with your permission).

Network requests

Barback may download recipe content and images from servers to keep the app up to date. Requests may include standard technical information such as IP address, device type, and request metadata that servers typically log for reliability and security.

Third-party services

Barback uses the following third-party services as needed to operate:

• Apple App Store / StoreKit for in-app purchases and restoring purchases.
• Content delivery (e.g., CDN/S3) to host recipe data and images.

Data retention

Home bar inventory data is stored locally on your device until you delete the app or reset the data. Server logs (if any) are retained for operational purposes.

Children’s privacy

Barback is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above will reflect the most recent version.
