Privacy policy: VEGA Tasting

VEGA Tasting for iPhone and iPad. Last updated 26 August 2026.

What the app stores

Everything the app records is written to a file on your iPhone or iPad. That file holds:

• the bottles you add
• what you have finished
• your tasting notes and ratings
• the pairings you asked for
• the taste profile the app builds from your own ratings

None of it leaves your device. VEGA Works never receives it, because there is nowhere for it to be sent.

What the app does not collect

• No analytics and no crash reporting
• No advertising and no tracking
• No third-party SDKs
• No request for your location
• No access to your contacts, calendar, messages, health data, or browsing

Camera and photos

The camera and your photo library are used for one thing: a bottle label you choose to photograph or pick.

The photo is read on your device to fill in a draft entry. Nothing is written to your cellar until you confirm that draft. The photo is not uploaded.

Apple Intelligence

On iPhones and iPads that support it, the app can use Apple Intelligence for two things. It can read a label, and it can write a plain explanation of a pairing.

Where a request would go to Apple's Private Cloud Compute, iOS tells you, and Apple's terms apply.

The app works without Apple Intelligence. Every one of those features has a path that does not use it.

The map of your bottles

The app can show where your bottles come from on a map. Those places are taken from a table built into the app. Nothing about what you drink is sent to place a pin.

Drawing the base map does need a network connection. Apple receives the area of map being drawn, under Apple's Privacy Policy.

A list of the same places is available, and it needs no map.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by the App Store. The app is told only whether a purchase is active. It never sees your name, your payment details or your Apple Account. What you've already recorded stays readable whether or not you've bought anything.

Children

The app is not directed at children, and it collects nothing about age.

Deleting your information

Deleting the app removes everything it stored. Because nothing was sent anywhere, there is nothing left for us to delete.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes are also noted in the app's release notes.
