Trust and safety
Privacy policy
Effective July 21, 2026. Scotchy is a bottle recommendation and taste-journal app for adults who are 21 or older.
Information you provide
New profiles in the Scotchy web app require an email account, and setup does not finish until that email is verified. Scotchy stores your email address, profile name, age confirmation, bottle statuses, dislike reasons, and personal bottle notes so your profile can synchronize between devices. Existing on-device profiles remain cached locally; if you sign in, that local data can also synchronize to the account.
Local and cloud storage
Profile data remains cached on the device so the app can work with unreliable connectivity. Signed-in profile data is also stored in Scotchy's managed database. Passwords are handled by the authentication provider and are not available to Scotchy.
Network requests
Scotchy connects to its authentication, profile-synchronization, and feedback-email services and loads bottle photos from HTTPS image hosts. Those providers may receive normal request information such as IP address and browser or device details.
Sharing and selling
Scotchy does not sell personal information. Profile information is not made public. Data is shared with service providers only as needed to host the website, authenticate accounts, synchronize profiles, and deliver account or feedback email.
Feedback
When a signed-in user submits feedback in the app, Scotchy sends the message, feedback type, verified account email, app version, and basic device or browser details through Supabase and Resend to the developer's support inbox. Profile ratings, bottle lists, dislike reasons, and personal notes are not included.
Supabase does not store the feedback message in Scotchy's database. It stores only the account ID, the latest one-hour rate-limit window, and up to five submission IDs to prevent duplicate delivery and abuse. That metadata is refreshed by a later direct-send attempt and is deleted with the account. Resend retains sent email data for 30 days by default, and the receiving support inbox retains the delivered email according to its own settings. If direct submission is unavailable, Scotchy may open a draft in the user's email app instead.
Export and deletion
You can export a readable copy of your profile from the app. Signed-in users can delete their account in the Profile tab or through the account deletion page. Account deletion removes the cloud account and associated profile data. Local exports must be deleted separately.
