Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 5, 2024
Introduction
Welcome to Meta-Alcohol! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our application.
Data Storage and Your Device
The primary data you generate, such as your drink log (details such as type, quantity, and time), are stored exclusively on your own device using your web browser's IndexedDB storage. We, the creators of Meta-Alcohol, do not have access to this personal data. It remains on your device, under your control.
Language Preference Cookie
To remember your chosen language for the application interface, we use a cookie (`NEXT_LOCALE`) that is stored on your device. This cookie is essential for the application to function correctly in your preferred language and is therefore considered a necessary cookie.
Analytics and Optional Data Collection (with Your Consent)
If you provide your consent for 'Recommended Cookies', we use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data to help us understand how Meta-Alcohol is used and to improve the application. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. The basic anonymized information collected by Google Analytics may include data such as your country (derived from your IP address, which is then anonymized by Google), the time of your visit, and how you navigate through the app. In addition to basic analytics, if you consent, we also collect anonymized data about the types of standard drinks you log. When you log a standard drink (like Beer, Wine, Spirits, or Cocktail), we send an anonymized event to Google Analytics that includes the drink category and its volume in milliliters. We do not send any information about 'Custom Drinks', the specific time you logged the drink, or any other personally identifiable information. This helps us understand general usage patterns, such as which drink types are most commonly logged, to improve the app's features. If you choose 'Necessary Cookies Only', Google Analytics will be disabled, and none of this optional data will be collected.
Data Anonymization
We place a strong emphasis on your privacy. All data collected for analytics purposes (if you consent) is anonymized. This means that any information sent to Google Analytics is aggregated and does not contain personally identifiable information. Your individual drink logs remain solely on your device.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
