Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Alcohol Calculator ("the App") is a price comparison calculator that helps users determine the best value when purchasing alcoholic beverages. The App is designed with privacy as a core principle and operates entirely on your device.

2. Information Collection and Storage

The App does NOT collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers.

All data is stored locally on your device using:

• Mobile devices (Android/iOS): AsyncStorage (secure local storage)
• Web browsers: Browser localStorage

What is stored locally:

The App stores only the product comparison data you voluntarily enter, including:

• Price, container size, quantity, and alcohol percentage
• Optional fields: product name, brand, alcohol type, shop name, and location
• Calculation results (cost per unit)

This data remains on your device and is only accessible to you.

3. How Your Data is Used

All calculations and data storage occur entirely on your device. The data you enter is used solely to:

• Calculate cost per 100ml of pure alcohol
• Compare products you've entered
• Display your comparison history

Your data is never:

• Shared with third parties
• Uploaded to cloud servers
• Used for advertising or marketing
• Analyzed for any purpose

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

The App does not share any data with third parties because no data is collected or transmitted.

The App does not integrate with:

• Analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics)
• Advertising networks
• Social media platforms
• Cloud storage services
• Any third-party SDKs or services

5. Internet Access and Network Permissions

The App does not require an internet connection to function. All features work completely offline.

If the App requests network permissions on Android, this is a default requirement from the development framework and is not actively used by the App.

6. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Your device's built-in security protects your data
• Data is only accessible through the App on your device
• Uninstalling the App will permanently delete all locally stored data
• We recommend using device encryption and screen locks for additional security

7. User Rights and Data Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: View all your stored products within the App
• Deletion: Delete individual products or clear all data within the App
• Export: Currently not supported (all data remains local)
• Complete Removal: Uninstalling the App deletes all associated data

8. Age Restrictions and Legal Compliance

Age Requirements:

• The App does not verify user age
• The App does not collect any personal information, including age
• Users are solely responsible for complying with local alcohol laws and age restrictions

Regional Compliance:

• Minimum legal drinking ages vary by country (typically 18-21 years)
• Purchasing and consuming alcohol may be regulated or prohibited in your jurisdiction
• Users must ensure they comply with all applicable local, state, and national laws

The developer does not condone underage drinking or illegal alcohol consumption.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the legal drinking age in their jurisdiction. However:

• The App does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children
• No personal information is requested, stored, or processed
• No age verification is performed
• Parents and guardians are responsible for monitoring their children's use of devices

10. Advertising

The App does not display advertisements. There are no:

• Banner ads
• Interstitial ads
• Video ads
• Third-party advertising networks
• Ad tracking or targeting

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly if the App's functionality changes in a way that affects data handling. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date.

Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.

12. Data Retention

Data is retained only as long as you keep it in the App. You can delete individual entries or all data at any time through the App interface. All data is permanently deleted when you uninstall the App.

13. International Users

The App is available worldwide. Since all data is stored locally on your device, no data crosses international borders. However, users in all jurisdictions are responsible for complying with their local laws regarding alcohol.

15. Governing Law
