SIP IT Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

SIP IT (the website at sip-it.pages.dev and the Android app app.sipit.twa) is made by Everborn Marketing LLC ("we", "us"). It is a drink recipe app for adults of legal drinking age (21 and older). This policy explains what the app keeps, where, and your choices.

The short version

SIP IT has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking cookies. What you enter stays on your device, unless you choose to share a drink with the community: then what you share is public (see Community drinks below). We do not sell your data.

What stays on your device

SIP IT saves these items in your browser's local storage on your phone or computer, so the app remembers them next time:

That you confirmed you are 21 or older.
The ingredients you say are on your bar or shelf.
Drinks you save to My Drinks, and your bar cart (shopping list).
Your settings: zero-proof on or off, allergy filters, and taste choices such as favourite spirit, sweetness and bitterness.
A random device id the app makes for community drinks, and the display name and link you last shared with.

This information is not sent to us or to anyone else, except as described under Community drinks. We cannot see it. The drink library and photos are part of the app itself.

What we collect

We do not collect personal information through the app. There is no sign-in, no email collection (apart from the email you choose to give for SIP IT Pro, above), no location access, no contacts access and no advertising ID.

Hosting. The app is served by Cloudflare. Like any website host, Cloudflare receives standard connection information (such as your IP address and browser type) to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse. We do not use this information to identify you, and we do not add our own tracking.

Android app. The Android app opens SIP IT inside your device's browser engine (usually Chrome). Your browser's own privacy settings and policy apply to the browser itself.

Photo scanning. When you choose to scan a photo (your bar, a wine list or store shelf, or your fridge), that photo is sent to Google's Gemini API to be read and is not stored by SIP IT. Only the text read from it comes back to your phone. Your wine taste and ranking stay on your device; they are not sent with the photo.

Wine bottle scan. When you scan a wine label, the photo (made smaller on your device first) is sent to our server and to Google's Gemini API to read the label. We do not keep the photo; a short-lived cache of the answer, keyed by a fingerprint of the photo, lets the same label load faster. A small copy of your photo stays in this browser tab only until you close it. The bottles you save, your ratings, notes, any price you type in and your taste profile are stored only on this device. We count scans per day using a scrambled (hashed) form of your internet address, never the address itself.

SIP IT Pro (optional). If you buy Pro on the website, Stripe processes the payment and receives your email and card details under its own privacy policy; we never see your card number. To confirm your plan, our server asks Stripe for its status using your checkout session or the email you type for Restore purchase. We do not keep that email on our servers; your device keeps it with a signed Pro pass in local storage. On Android, Google Play handles the purchase and our server checks the purchase with Google. Counts of your free uses (scans, drink ideas, friends rounds) stay on your device.

Voice. When you tap the microphone in Ask Alibi, your voice is processed only to turn it into text and is not stored. Most phones and browsers do this themselves (their built-in speech recognition, under your phone or browser maker's own privacy policy); where they can't, a short clip (up to 30 seconds) is sent to our host, Cloudflare (Workers AI), turned into text, and deleted straight away. We never keep the recording. The microphone is only used while the mic button shows it is listening, and only after you allow it. If you switch on "Alibi talks back", Alibi's answer (not your voice) is turned into speech by Cloudflare Workers AI, and the audio of that answer may be kept for up to 7 days so the same answer plays faster. We count voice requests per hour using a scrambled (hashed) form of your internet address, never the address itself.

Links. Photo credit links open the photographers' and licence pages on other websites, which have their own privacy policies.

Community drinks (only if you use them)

What you share is public. When you share a drink to the community we store the drink (name, ingredients, steps, glass, garnish, servings, zero-proof label), the display name you type (up to 40 characters), an optional social profile link (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, X, Threads or Linktree) and an optional photo of your drink. Anyone using SIP IT can see them, and other people can save your drink to their own My Drinks.
No account, no real name. Your shares are linked to an anonymous creator id: a one-way hash of the app's random device id. We do not ask for your real name, email or phone. Please don't put contact details or anything private in your name, link, drink or photo.
Photos. The photo is shrunk on your device before upload, which also removes hidden details such as location and camera data. It is stored with our host (Cloudflare).
Reports, blocks and counts. If you report a drink or block a creator, we store that with the same anonymous id. We count how many devices saved each shared drink, once per device.
Where it is kept. Shared drinks, reports, blocks and counts are stored in our database (Supabase), and photos with Cloudflare. Short hourly rate limits use a counter keyed by your IP address that expires after about an hour.

No alcohol sales

SIP IT shares recipes and drink ideas only. It does not sell, deliver or take orders for alcohol. The only payments are optional SIP IT Pro subscriptions, processed by Stripe or Google Play.

Security and retention

The app is served over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Data on your device stays until you remove it. A shared community drink and its photo are kept until you remove the share (removing it deletes the drink and its photo) or we remove it; reports and blocks are kept while the drink or the block exists.

Your choices and deleting your data

You can remove saved drinks and bar cart items in the app at any time. To erase everything, clear the site data for sip-it.pages.dev in your browser settings, or clear the app's storage or uninstall the Android app. You can remove your own community share in the app at any time (My Drinks, Community drinks, Remove my share). To ask us to delete your device's community shares, reports and blocks, or with any question, email everbornproductions@gmail.com with the subject "SIP IT data deletion"; we reply within 30 days. Apart from community data, we hold no personal data about you.

Age limit

SIP IT is only for adults of legal drinking age (21 and older in the United States, or the legal drinking age where you live if higher). It is not for anyone under 21 and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 21. If you believe a minor has used the app, contact us.

Changes and contact

We will post any changes on this page with a new date. Questions: everbornproductions@gmail.com, Everborn Marketing LLC, Sacramento, California.
