Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 2025/05/03
Welcome to SipSmart! Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it when you use our website and services. Our goal is to be transparent and help you understand your choices.
What Information We Collect
We collect information in a few ways:
- Information You Give Us: When you sign up or use certain features (like setting notification keywords), you might provide us with your name or email address.
- Information from Your Use of the Site: When you browse SipSmart, our servers automatically log basic technical information like your browser type, the pages you visit, and general usage patterns. This helps us improve the site.
- Push Notification Tokens: If you choose to receive push notifications for your keywords, we store a unique token for your device (provided by Firebase Cloud Messaging) so we can send you those alerts. This token is linked to your account if you're logged in. You can disable notifications at any time in your profile.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Run and improve the SipSmart website and services.
- Manage your account (if you create one).
- Send you push notifications based on your keywords (only if you've opted in).
- Understand how people use SipSmart so we can make it better.
- Respond to your questions or feedback.
Sharing Your Information
We take your privacy seriously and limit how we share your information:
- To Provide Services: We share necessary information with services that help us operate, like Firebase for push notifications and our hosting provider. They are obligated to protect your information.
- For Legal Reasons: We may share information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of SipSmart, our users, or others.
- Business Changes: If SipSmart is involved in a merger or acquisition, your information might be transferred as part of that process, but it would remain subject to this privacy policy.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Keeping Your Information Secure
We use reasonable security measures (technical and administrative) to protect your information. However, please remember that no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
SipSmart is intended for users who are of legal drinking age in South Africa (18 years or older). We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this policy occasionally. If we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review it periodically.
