Your night out.
Your choices. Your data.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Drinkify mobile app and this privacy website. Drinkify is a social app for adults 21 and older to connect with friends, plan gatherings, share stories, explore nearby venues, and use safety-focused features for nights out.

In this policy, “Drinkify,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of the Drinkify service. “You” means a person who visits this site or uses the app. Questions about the operator or this policy can be sent to support@drinkify.cc.

Access is also limited by account eligibility, friendship, group membership, blocking, moderation status, and the visibility controls for each feature.

• Register, secure, and support your account.
• Show the profile, social, messaging, story, gathering, gift, game, venue, and safety features you request.
• Find nearby places and support optional venue check-ins.
• Deliver phone-verification texts and other service-related communications.
• Moderate user-generated content, respond to reports, prevent abuse, and keep the community safer.
• Measure aggregate account growth and use of supported screens, home features, and featured drink or food selections so we can evaluate and improve the app.
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and protect the app and its infrastructure.
• Comply with law and enforce service rules.

This privacy website does not intentionally set advertising or analytics cookies.

Information may be disclosed in these limited situations:

• With other users, when a feature is designed for sharing, such as profiles, stories, messages, gatherings, gifts, or check-ins. Accepted and unblocked friends can also see a simple online indicator while you have online-status sharing enabled, but not your exact last-seen time.
• With service providers, including Supabase for authentication, database, storage, realtime updates, edge functions, and first-party analytics processing; Twilio Verify for sending and protecting phone-verification texts; Google services for places, Android maps, or geocoding; Apple or the device platform for mapping on supported devices; the final website host; and the support-mail provider selected for launch.
• At your direction, when you copy or share an invite, open directions in a maps app, or share information with another app you choose. That app’s policy then applies.
• For safety and legal reasons, when reasonably necessary to respond to valid legal process, protect rights and safety, investigate abuse, or enforce service rules.
• As part of a business transfer, if the service or its assets are reorganized, financed, acquired, or transferred, subject to applicable law and continued protection of the information.

We keep information while it is reasonably needed to provide Drinkify, maintain safety and security, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. The exact period depends on the type of information and why it is kept.

Account-linked raw product-analytics events are kept for no more than 90 days. Processing account deletion removes those linked raw events through a database deletion cascade. De-identified daily aggregate counts cannot be connected back to an account and are also kept for no more than 90 days. Recently phone-verified administrators receive aggregate counts only.

Drinkify stores only the latest foreground heartbeat for each signed-in session used for friend-only online status. A stopped heartbeat no longer shows you online after about 90 seconds and is scheduled for deletion once it is more than 10 minutes old. Disabling online-status sharing removes all of your server heartbeats immediately; friends' already-open screens clear the cached dot on their next refresh, normally within 30 seconds. The sharing preference remains until you change it or delete your account.

Safety check-in history is limited to the newest 10 entries for each account and is retained for no more than seven days. A separate notification copy sent to gathering members follows the notification retention rules.

User stories are designed to leave active display after 24 hours. An administrator may select a shorter or longer display period for an official Drinkify story, up to 30 days. That does not necessarily mean every stored copy, log, or backup is erased at that exact moment. Moderation, security, and legal records may be kept longer when reasonably necessary.

Drinkify uses administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the service, including authenticated access, permission controls, encrypted network connections, and additional verification for sensitive moderation tools. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so protect your device and mobile service account, never share an SMS verification code, and report suspicious account activity.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or information about how your personal information is handled. You may also have a right to appeal a denied request or contact your local data-protection authority.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some rights have legal exceptions—for example, when information is needed for safety, fraud prevention, a legal claim, or another person’s rights.

Drinkify is intended only for people who are at least 21 years old. Do not create or use an account if you are under 21. If you believe an ineligible person submitted information, use the contact route below so the account can be reviewed and appropriate action can be taken.

The app asks for an explicit 21+ self-attestation before account creation and records the current affirmation and community-pledge versions. This is a self-attestation, not identity-document or independent age verification.

We may update this policy as Drinkify changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will show when the policy was revised. When a change is material, we will provide additional notice in the app or through another appropriate channel.
