Privacy Policy

Information you create

Drinks, recipes, notes, favorites, collections, inventory, tallies, venues, photos, settings, and other content you add are stored on your device. In the Apple edition, if you enable iCloud for Liquidly, Apple’s CloudKit service can sync this content privately among devices signed in to your Apple Account. Liquidly’s developer does not operate a server that receives or reads your personal library.

Device permissions

Liquidly asks for access only when a related feature needs it:

• Camera and photos: to identify a drink, attach a photo, scan text, or choose a custom background.
• Location: to search for nearby venues or sort venue results. You can search by city or address without location access.
• Notifications: for timers you choose to start.
• Shared app data: the main app and Share Extension use a private App Group container to receive only content you explicitly share to Liquidly.

On-device image analysis and text recognition do not require sending the image to Liquidly’s developer.

Optional online features

Liquidly’s core reference works offline. If a search of your local library has no matches and contains at least three characters, Liquidly can send the search words to the drink-discovery sources you have enabled in Settings. Results are previewed inside Liquidly and are not saved to your library unless you choose “Add to Liquidly.” You can disable each source.

Other optional connections include importing a menu or webpage, looking up breweries and map results, refreshing catalog facts, and searching for openly licensed artwork through sources such as Catalog.beer, Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Openverse, Open Brewery DB, Pure Drinkology, or a website you enter. Catalog.beer searches pass through Liquidly’s Cloudflare service so the private catalog credential is not included in the app; successful responses may be temporarily cached to conserve the source’s request allowance.

Those services receive ordinary internet request information such as your IP address, request time, and the page or search you requested. Their own privacy policies govern their handling of that information. Liquidly does not combine these requests into an advertising profile.

Purchases

Optional tips are processed by Apple through StoreKit. They do not unlock features. Liquidly receives the transaction result needed to finish the purchase, while Apple handles payment information under Apple’s privacy policy.

Data collection, tracking, and sale

Liquidly does not include advertising SDKs. The Android visual lookup SDK sends limited technical metrics as described below. Liquidly’s developer does not collect your personal app library, sell or rent personal information, or use personal information for tracking across apps or websites.

Website messages and drink submissions

If you choose to contact support or submit a drink through this website, Cloudflare Turnstile first checks that the request is from a person. After verification, your email app opens a message addressed to Liquidly Support. The website does not send the message until you review and send it from your email app.

The message can contain the name, reply address, recipe, tags, source link, and other information you choose to provide. Optional photos are not uploaded by the website; you attach them in your email app. Submitted material is used to respond to the message and, for drink submissions, to review possible inclusion in Liquidly.

Submission emails may be retained to review the suggestion, respond to you, and maintain source and licensing records. You may request deletion of your personal information or withdraw permission for future use by contacting Liquidly Support. A withdrawal does not affect uses already made before the request.

Deleting your data

You can delete items and photos inside Liquidly. Removing the app deletes its local data from that device. If iCloud sync is enabled, synced data may remain in your private iCloud account and on your other devices until it is deleted there as well.

Children

Liquidly is a reference app about alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages and is not directed to children. Store availability and age ratings may vary by country or region.

Changes and questions

This policy may be updated when Liquidly’s features or legal requirements change. The revision date above identifies the current version. For privacy questions, visit Liquidly Support.

Android edition

The Android app stores your library on your device, with no account, cloud syncing or tipping. Android cloud backup and device transfer are disabled for app data. Manual export is optional and includes your personal library and replacement photos, excluding encrypted Private Locker notes. Keep exported files private. Uninstalling removes local app data. Visual Drink Search starts a live camera scan when you open it and grant camera permission. You can stop scanning, take a photo, or choose an existing photo. Live scan frames are not saved. Google ML Kit processes images and recognized text on-device; these inputs and results are not sent to Google. Its SDK may contact Google for updates and send performance and usage metrics. See Google ML Kit data processing details. Links you open in your browser are governed by those sites' privacy policies.

Windows preview

The Windows app stores favorites, notes, custom drinks, settings and imported files locally on your PC. It has no account, automatic cloud sync or analytics SDK. Camera and photo lookup use local processing. Manually checking for updates contacts liquidly.info. Importing a URL or opening a link contacts that website. Exported backups and shared files are saved only when you request them; keep private exports secure. Uninstalling preserves your library in LocalAppData\Liquidly. You may remove that folder yourself after backing up anything you wish to keep.
