Tapt ("Tapt," "we," "us") operates the Tapt mobile application and related services (the "App"). This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

1. Who can use Tapt

Tapt is intended only for people of legal drinking age in their location (21+ in the United States; 18+ or the applicable age elsewhere). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the legal drinking age. If you are not of legal drinking age, do not use the App.

2. Information we collect

• Account: your name and email from Sign in with Apple, Google, or other providers you choose; a display name and handle.
• Activity ("check-ins"): the beers you scan, rate, and log; flavor tags; styles; timestamps; and up/down votes.
• Location: approximate location, when you allow it, to show breweries and popular beers near you and to power regional features. You can turn location off in your device settings.
• Preferences: favorite styles, No/Low interest, appearance, and similar settings.
• Device & usage: app version, device type, and basic diagnostics.

3. How we use information

• Provide and personalize the App (your Cellar, Passport, recommendations, and local + global discovery).
• Maintain safety, prevent abuse, and comply with law.
• Create aggregated and de-identified statistics (for example, "hazy IPA demand up in Austin"). Aggregated data cannot reasonably identify you.

4. How we share information

• Service providers who host and run the App (for example, our database and authentication provider) under contract.
• Aggregated, de-identified insights may be shared or sold to breweries, distributors, and partners. We do not sell data that identifies you personally as part of these insights.
• Legal reasons: to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers: if Tapt is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, and the successor may continue to process it under a policy consistent with this one.

5. Your choices and rights

• Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information / Limit Use of Sensitive Information: contact us at [PRIVACY_EMAIL, to be completed] or use the in-app control. We honor Global Privacy Control signals where required.
• Access, correction, deletion, and portability: you can request these, and you can delete your account in-app.
• Location: manage permission in your device settings.
• Region-specific rights: residents of California (CCPA/CPRA), the EEA/UK (GDPR), and other regions have additional rights described here or available on request. Precise geolocation is treated as sensitive personal information.

6. Data retention & security

We keep information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App and meet legal obligations, then delete or de-identify it. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including row-level security and encryption in transit.

7. International transfers

We may process information in the United States and other countries with appropriate safeguards.

8. Changes

We will post changes here and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be notified in-app where required.
