Nightcap

Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Daniel Weaver (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Nightcap mobile application (the “App”). Nightcap is a home-bartending app that helps adults of legal drinking age identify the bottles they own and discover cocktails they can make. By using the App, you agree to this Policy.

This document is a template provided to help you launch. It is not legal advice. Please review it for accuracy against how your App actually operates, and consider having it reviewed by a qualified attorney — especially given the alcohol-related and AI-processing aspects.

1. Age Restriction

Nightcap is intended only for adults who are of legal drinking age in their location (21 or older in the United States). The App presents an age check before use. It is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect information from, anyone under the legal drinking age or under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected information from someone under 18, we will delete it. Please drink responsibly.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

Email address. Used to create your account and to send you a one-time sign-in code (we use passwordless email sign-in — we do not collect or store passwords).
Date of birth (age check). When you first open the App, you enter a date of birth to confirm you meet the minimum age. This is evaluated on your device; we store only a confirmation that you passed the check. We do not transmit or retain your date of birth.
Photos of your bar. When you scan your shelf, the photo is sent to our AI provider to identify the bottles, mixers, and garnishes in it (see “AI Processing” below). We do not permanently store your photos on our servers.
Bar and cocktail data. The ingredients in your bar, cocktails you save as favorites, ratings you give drinks, your taste preferences, and your shopping list.

Information collected automatically

Usage records. We log the number of AI requests associated with your account to enforce fair-use limits and to understand costs. We do not use this to build advertising profiles.
Basic technical data necessary to operate the App (for example, your authentication session).
On-device settings. Some preferences (such as your age confirmation and “tune to my taste” setting) are stored locally on your device.

3. How We Use Information

To provide the App’s core features — identifying items from your photos and generating cocktail recipes.
To authenticate you and keep you signed in.
To save your favorites, ratings, taste preferences, and shopping list across your devices.
To personalize recommendations when you enable “tune to my taste.”
To enforce usage limits, prevent abuse, and manage operating costs.
To confirm you meet the minimum age requirement.

4. AI Processing

Nightcap uses Anthropic (the maker of Claude) to power its features. When you scan a photo or request cocktails, the relevant content — your bar photo and/or the list of ingredients — is sent to Anthropic’s API to be processed and to generate a response. This processing is necessary to provide the App. We do not use your content to train AI models, and, per Anthropic’s API terms, Anthropic does not train its models on data submitted through its API. For more, see Anthropic’s privacy practices at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us operate the App, and only as needed to provide it:

Supabase — authentication, database, and backend hosting (stores your email and saved App data). See supabase.com/privacy.
Anthropic — AI processing of your photos and ingredient lists, as described above.
Resend — delivery of your sign-in code emails (receives your email address). See resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or users’ safety, or in connection with a business transfer.

6. Data Retention

We keep your account information and saved data for as long as your account is active. Photos are processed transiently and are not stored by us. Usage records are kept for a limited period for fair-use and accounting purposes. When you delete your account, we delete your associated personal data, except where we must retain it to comply with legal obligations.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.

Deleting your account and data

You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing hello@nightcapmixer.com from the email address associated with your account. We will process your request within a reasonable time.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted transmission and access controls that restrict each user’s data to their own account. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for anyone under 18, and it is restricted to individuals of legal drinking age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. International Users and Data Transfers

We and our service providers may process and store your information in the United States and other countries. By using the App, you understand your information may be transferred to countries whose data-protection laws differ from those in your country.

11. Your California and Regional Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and correct your personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under California law. Residents of the EEA, UK, and other regions may have similar rights under applicable law. To exercise any right, contact us at hello@nightcapmixer.com.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
