Privacy Policy
Pour Decisions — Last updated July 1, 2026
Pour Decisions ("we", "our", or "us") is a mobile application that helps you find active happy hours near your location. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Information We Collect
- Location. We request your precise location to find happy hours near you and to display venues on the map. Location is used only while the app is in use and is not stored on our servers beyond the duration of your session.
- Account identifier. When you create an account, we assign you an anonymous account identifier (a random UUID). We do not collect your name or email address.
- Photos. If you submit a photo of a happy hour menu or sign, the image is uploaded to and stored on our servers. You may only submit photos you have the right to share.
- Crash and diagnostic data. We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error diagnostics. Reports contain technical information (device type, OS version, app version, stack traces) and your anonymous account identifier. No name, email, or precise location is included in crash reports.
- Usage data. Our servers automatically record standard request logs (timestamps, endpoints accessed) for reliability and debugging purposes.
- App usage analytics. We record which screens and features you use in the app (for example, opening the app, viewing a venue, or tapping directions), together with an installation identifier, your platform, and the app version. The installation identifier is created by the app on your device, is specific to Pour Decisions, and is not an advertising identifier. It is derived on your device using a one-way calculation, so the device identifier it is derived from never leaves your device and cannot be recovered from what we store. It persists if you reinstall the app. The app also shows you a short support code based on this identifier, so you can tell us which installation to look at without giving us anything that identifies your device. If you sign in, this activity is linked to your account so we can understand how people move from browsing to creating an account. This data stays on our own servers, is never sold or shared with third parties, and is never used to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
How We Use Your Information
- To show you active happy hours near your current location.
- To authenticate your account and process venue submissions.
- To improve the accuracy and coverage of venue data.
- To diagnose crashes and maintain the stability of the app.
- To maintain the security and reliability of the service.
Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the following service providers who help operate the app:
- Amazon Web Services — cloud hosting, storage, and authentication (AWS Cognito).
- Google — map display and venue search (Google Maps Platform).
- Sentry — crash reporting and error diagnostics.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
Data Retention
Account data is retained until you request deletion. Submitted photos are retained to support the venue database. Server logs are retained for up to 90 days. Crash reports are retained for up to 90 days. App usage analytics are retained for up to 13 months. If you delete your account, your usage analytics are unlinked from it and retained only in anonymous form.
Your Choices
- Location. You can revoke location permission at any time in your device settings. The app requires location to function.
- Account deletion. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data from within the app (Profile → Delete Account). Deletion removes your account identifier, submissions, and photos from our servers.
Children
Pour Decisions is not directed at children under 17. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. The app involves content related to alcoholic beverages and is intended for adults of legal drinking age.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be noted by updating the date at the top of this page.
