Privacy Policy
Effective: [DATE — set before App Store submission] · Arrow Pond Estate, LLC
The short version
Pourframe collects nothing. Your journal — photos, captions, notes, voice notes, locations — is stored on your device and, if you enable iCloud, in your private iCloud database. We cannot read it. We have no servers holding your memories, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no trackers. We aim for the App Store privacy label to say exactly this: Data Not Collected.
What stays on your device (and your iCloud)
Everything you create in the app: photos and Live Photos, captions and notes, voice notes, taste details, the people you note you were with, and — if you grant location permission — where a pour happened. iCloud sync, when available, uses Apple's CloudKit private database, which is encrypted to your Apple ID and not accessible to Arrow Pond Estate.
Services the app talks to
- Apple location & geocoding. If you allow location access, the app asks Apple's geocoding service to turn coordinates into a place name (like "Baroda, MI") so your entry can say where it happened. This request goes to Apple under Apple's privacy policy; we never see it.
- Apple iCloud/CloudKit. For syncing your journal between your own devices, when enabled.
That is the complete list today. The app makes no other network connections.
When you order a printed book (future feature)
When book ordering ships, payment will be processed by Stripe and printing/shipping fulfilled by a print partner. Only the information needed to complete your order — the book contents you choose to print, shipping addresses, and payment details handled directly by Stripe — will be shared with those providers for that purpose. This policy will be updated with specifics before the feature launches.
Permissions, plainly
- Camera — to snap the bottle or the moment. The photo is the entry.
- Microphone — only if you record an optional 5-second voice note.
- Location (while using) — optional; lets entries remember where they happened. Everything works without it.
- Photos — importing uses Apple's picker; the app never sees your library, only the photo you choose.
Children
Pourframe is about wine and is intended for users of legal drinking age; it is rated 17+ and not directed at children.
Changes & contact
If this policy changes (for example, when book ordering launches), the update appears here with a new effective date. Questions: [CONTACT EMAIL — set before App Store submission].
