The App collects the following information.
| Account information | Email address, and the identifier and display name provided by the authentication provider (Google, Apple) |
| Label photos | Images of wine labels taken with the camera, or images selected from your photo library |
| Recorded data | What you record yourself: producer, wine name, vintage, region, grape varieties, type, importer, rating, price, place of purchase, date drunk, tasting notes, and so on |
| Location information | For records with “Save location” turned on, the coordinates (latitude and longitude) indicating where the record was made. If you photographed the label in the App, this is the position measured at the time of shooting; if you chose a photo from your photo library, it is the shooting location originally recorded in that photo. For details, see “4. Location Information for Where You Drank” |
| Scan history | The date, time and result of each analysis, the identifier of the AI model used, the confidence for each field read, the processing time, and the number of scans this month |
| Monthly recap | If you turn on the monthly recap, the title and text generated from that month’s records, and the identifier of the single most memorable wine of that month |
| Purchase history | The status of purchases, renewals and cancellations of products purchased in the App (the type of product, the purchase date, the end date of the period, and the purchase identifier issued by the store). Credit card numbers and other payment information are handled by the App Store and Google Play, and we do not receive them |
| Usage | Events for screens viewed and major actions (creating, updating and deleting records; starting a scan and its result). A pseudonymized user ID is used to identify users; names and email addresses are not sent. For details, see “8. Usage Measurement and Error Reporting” |
| Error information | When the app crashes or encounters an error: the content and location of the error, the OS and app versions, and the device model. For details, see “8. Usage Measurement and Error Reporting” |
| Notification token | For a device on which you have turned on push notifications, the identifier the OS issues so that notifications can be delivered to that device (an FCM registration token), together with the OS type, the app version and the OS version. The content of label photos, Recorded Data and tasting notes is not used to deliver notifications. For details, see “About push notifications” below |
| Inquiries | The type you select, the message text and the reply email address you submit through in-app contact (Settings → Contact us). The app version and OS type are sent along with it for investigation. If you send an inquiry with the reply address left blank, we do not store a reply address and do not send a reply |
| Access logs, etc. | Information recorded automatically in providing the service, such as IP address and the OS and app versions |
The App may ask for permission to use your device’s location. There are two purposes, both related to “where you drank.” One is the location information in the table above, that is, keeping with a record the place where the label was photographed. The other is showing your current location on the map; this is only drawn on screen and is neither stored nor sent, so it is not included in the table above. We ask only for location access while you are using the App. For details, see “4. Location Information for Where You Drank.” The App does not access your contacts, calendar or the like. Access to the camera and the photo library is used only to photograph and select labels.
About push notifications. The App may send push notifications. They are off by default. Only when you turn them on in Settings do we ask for the OS’s notification permission and store the notification token in the table above on our servers. A token points to your device as a destination; we do not use it to serve advertising or to track you across other companies’ apps or websites. We send only announcements from the App and important notices, and a notification carries only a title, a body and a type indicating which screen to open. If you turn notifications off in Settings, or turn off the App’s notifications in your device settings, that device is excluded from sending. The same applies if you delete the App.
Reading labels, the App’s central feature, is performed using an external AI service. Label photos that you photograph or select are handled as follows.
Please refrain from sending photos in which anything other than a label appears (such as people or documents that could identify an individual). Only labels are meant to be read, and we do not intentionally analyze any other subject.
About the monthly recap. Only if you turn it on in Settings, in order to create a short text (a title and body) from the previous month’s records, the content of that month’s records is sent to the Gemini API of Google LLC. Until you turn it on, and after you turn it off, this transmission is not made. What is sent is the brand, producer, region, grape varieties, type, vintage, rating, date drunk, taste tags and tasting notes, plus a price band (a category such as “under ¥2,000,” not the specific amount). We do not send photos, location information (coordinates, or the text of the place of purchase or where you drank), record identifiers, email addresses, or any other information that identifies the user. As with label photo analysis, this transmission is made through an API that we have contracted for business use, and the content sent is not used by the provider to train generative AI models. The generated text is stored on our servers together with your records, and is erased along with them when you delete your account. Even if you turn the recap off, text that has already been generated remains.
The App lets you keep a record together with “where you drank” and look back on it on a map. The location information handled here is of two kinds with different natures. One is the “where you drank” coordinates saved with a record ((a) to (d)). The other is the device’s current location, used only to show your position on the map and not stored ((e)). Communication for the map itself is described in (f).
If you keep recording wines you drink at home, your home’s location can be inferred from the saved coordinates. If you want to avoid this, change the default to “don’t save” in Settings as described above.
We do not provide users’ personal information to third parties except in the following cases.
We will not make what you record visible to other users, nor provide it to third parties for advertising.
The App uses the following external services, and the information obtained is processed and stored on these contractors’ servers (which may be located outside Japan). Please also review each service’s privacy policy.

On our website (including this page), we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is accessed. Google Analytics collects anonymous traffic data using cookies and similar technologies. For details, please see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
User data is stored on Supabase’s cloud servers. We take appropriate security measures to protect the data, but we do not guarantee the complete security of transmission over the Internet.
Recorded Data and photos are kept until the user deletes them. A record deleted in the App is kept in the Trash for 30 days, after which it is automatically erased, photos included. Data that you do not restore from the Trash cannot be recovered. If you delete your account, all records, photos and scan history are erased.
To improve quality, the App sends information on how its features are used to Firebase Analytics. What is sent is a pseudonymized user ID, the screens viewed, and events for actions such as creating, updating and deleting records and starting a scan and whether it succeeded. We never send your name, email address, label photos or the content of what you record.
When the App crashes or encounters an error, we send the details to Sentry in order to investigate the cause. What is sent is the content and location of the error, the OS and app versions, and the device model. We never send your name, email address, IP address, label photos or the content of what you record. This transmission is made only in versions distributed through the stores.
We do not use this information for advertising purposes, and we do not track users across other companies’ apps or websites (tracking). At present, the App has no setting that stops only these transmissions individually. If you wish to stop them, please delete the App from your device.
| View and correct | You can check and edit what you have recorded in the App at any time. If an AI reading result is wrong, you can also correct it from the record screen |
| Take your data with you | You can export your Recorded Data in CSV format from Settings |
| Delete | You can delete individual records in the App. You can delete the account itself from Settings, and all records, photos and scan history are erased. Deleted data cannot be restored.
