Who we are.

AlcoTracker (“we”, “us”) helps you log drinks and understand alcohol units. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.

• Controller: Pavel Solikov, UK.
• Contact: [email protected]
• App: AlcoTracker for iOS (iOS 18+).

Quick summary

• When you scan, the app sends a compressed photo to our Vercel proxy, which forwards it to OpenAI to identify the drink (type/size/ABV).
• We receive derived JSON back and show you an estimate; you can edit before saving.
• We don’t store the photo after processing.
• We don’t require an account. A random Device ID helps with quotas and reliability.

Tip: avoid capturing people or personal documents in photos. The feature works best with just the drink/bottle/label.

What we collect

1) For scanning & logging

• Image you capture (every scan): a compressed drink photo sent to our server for classification.
• Derived JSON: drink type (e.g., beer/wine/spirit), vessel/size estimate (ml), ABV estimate (%), confidence score.
• What you save: your confirmed drink log (type, volume ml, ABV %, timestamp). Units are computed as (ABV% × ml) / 1000 (UK units).

2) Technical data (service operation)

• App version, iOS version, device model
• A random Device ID (quota/rate limiting and reliability)
