Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 17, 2026 / Updated: October 24, 2026

This policy explains how shingo harada (the "operator") handles information in the iPhone app "Ouchi Cocktail" (おうちカクテル). The operator is based in Japan.

1. Information we collect

The app does not send your selected photos or records to an operator server. No account or login is required. The app does not request location or contacts access or obtain advertising identifiers. Camera and photo selection are used only when you choose to keep a photo.

2. Information stored on your device

Selected ingredients, preferences, favourites, ratings, tasting notes, recent suggestions, age-confirmation answers, strength and calorie settings, and display settings are stored on your device. The latest photo for each recipe is copied into app storage. Original EXIF metadata, including location, is not carried into saved or shared images. You can review what is visible in the photo before sharing.

3. Sharing and network use

After you review the photo, review or edit its text and tap Share, the app passes them to the OS share sheet. You choose the destination and final action. The app does not automatically post to social services. Private tasting notes, ratings and your pantry list are not automatically included in the caption. The destination service applies its own policy.

Recipes, explanations and ordinary record storage work on the device. External reference sites and destinations you choose for sharing may use a network connection and apply their own policies.

Purchases

Apple processes one-time purchases. The operator does not receive payment card details. The app checks ownership using StoreKit on the device. Purchase verification and restoration may communicate with Apple. The app does not send purchase history or receipts to an operator server or save an ownership flag in its preferences. Apple handles information under its own policies.

Managing photos and records

You can replace or delete saved photos in the app without changing the originals. Deleting the app removes its local records and photos. Original photos, posts already shared and OS backups are managed separately. OS backup and restoration follow your device settings and the provider’s policies.

4. Advertising and analytics

The app does not use advertising services, analytics tools or tracking.

5. Age

Because the app is about alcoholic drinks, it is intended for people of legal drinking age (20 or older in Japan). On first launch the app asks whether you are 20 or older; if not, only the alcohol-free features are shown. The answer is stored only on your device, and no date of birth is collected.

6. Contact

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and message and use them only to reply and investigate issues. We aim to delete them about one year after the matter is closed.
