Privacy Policy for Sipper Society LLC
Effective Date: January 23, 2026 · Last Updated: February 12, 2026
1. Our Role: The Digital Cellar Master
Sipper Society LLC ("we," "us," or "our") provides a specialized Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform and mobile application. We are a technology provider. We do not sell, distribute, or serve alcoholic beverages. Our platform is a utility used by beverage enthusiasts and private clubs to manage their own personal collections and social data.
2. Information We Collect
We value your privacy as much as a rare 25-year-old vintage. We only collect the data necessary to make your "Society" experience seamless.
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account Info | Name, email address, password. | To create your "Digital Cellar" and secure your profile. |
| User Content | Bottle photos, tasting notes, event details. | To populate your social feed and facilitate club engagement. |
| Payment Data | Credit card details (processed via Stripe). | To manage your Starter or Premium subscriptions. |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, crash logs (TestFlight). | To troubleshoot bugs and optimize app performance. |
3. Age Requirement (21+)
Our services are intended strictly for adults of legal drinking age (21+ in the United States). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If we learn that a minor has provided us with personal information, we will delete that data immediately.
4. How Your Data is Shared
We are not in the business of selling your data to brokers. We only share information with third-party partners who help us provide our tech services:
- Payment Processing (Stripe): We use Stripe to process all financial transactions. We do not store your full credit card numbers on our servers; Stripe handles this with industry-standard encryption and tokenization.
- Cloud Infrastructure (Hosting): Your data is stored securely on encrypted cloud servers.
- App Testing (Apple TestFlight): While in beta, Apple collects crash logs and usage data to help us improve the app.
5. Your Oregon Privacy Rights (OCPA 2026)
As an Oregon-based LLC, we comply with the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act. You have the following rights:
- Right to Access: You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Delete: You can ask us to delete your account and all associated data at any time.
- Right to Correct: If your "Digital Cellar" list is wrong, you can update it in the app or ask us to fix inaccuracies.
- Geolocation Opt-Out: We do not sell your precise geolocation data (accurate within 1,750 feet). Any location data used for "Club Events" is for your private social use only.
6. Security: The Vault
We implement "reasonable safeguards" to protect your information, including SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit and restricted access controls for our internal systems. However, no digital vault is 100% unbreakable; we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.
