Privacy Policy

You can browse most of the App without creating an account. Some features — including saving favorites, posting reviews, and managing a premium subscription — require you to sign in. We support three sign-in methods:

• Email Magic Code — we send a 6-digit verification code to the email address you provide. We use Postmark to deliver this email and we verify the code on our servers. We do not store your code after it is used or expires.
• Sign in with Apple — Apple sends us an identity token plus, on first sign-in, your name and email address. You may choose to share Apple's private email relay address instead of your real address; in that case we will only ever see the relay address, and emails we send (including sign-in codes) will be forwarded by Apple. We verify the Apple identity token on our servers before issuing a session.
• Sign in with Google — Google sends us an ID token containing your email address and basic profile information (name and profile picture URL). We verify the token on our servers before issuing a session.

How We Make Money: The App is free to download and use, with optional premium features available via subscription. We generate revenue through:

• Premium Subscriptions — users pay for enhanced features like NA Radar.
• Brand Partnerships — non-alcoholic beverage brands pay us to send promotional push notifications to relevant users who have subscribed to those brands or who may be interested based on app usage and preferences.
• External Advertising — we run campaigns on Facebook and Instagram to promote our app. The Meta SDK tracks conversions to measure effectiveness. We do not display ads within the app itself.

What This Means for You:

• If you subscribe to a brand in NA Radar, that brand (or we, on their behalf) may send you promotional push notifications.
• We do not display advertisements within the app itself.
• Your app usage and conversion data is shared with Meta to measure advertising campaign effectiveness.
• You can unsubscribe from specific brands, disable push notifications, or limit ad tracking through your device settings at any time.
• We do not sell your email address or personally identifiable information to third parties.

Some features let you contribute information that other users see. Anything you post in these areas should be assumed to be public.

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. However, sharing data with advertising platforms like Facebook may be considered a "sale" under certain privacy laws (see Section 10 for California residents). We may share your information in the following circumstances:

With Service Providers

We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf:

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information.

Your user ID, email (if provided), preferences, and cached app data may be stored locally on your device. Cached drink and venue data expires after a short period and is automatically refreshed.

Your authentication session token is stored using your device's secure storage — the iOS Keychain on iPhone and iPad, the encrypted SharedPreferences keystore on Android, and your browser's local storage on the web.

User account details, reviews, favorites, submissions, and subscription information are stored on backend infrastructure provided by Cloudflare. Analytics data is processed and stored by Google. Crash reports are stored by Sentry.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

The App and website use third-party services for payments, backend infrastructure, analytics, and notifications. We encourage you to review their privacy policies:

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the site. The information generated (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

The subject matter of the App (non-alcoholic beverages) may be of interest to minors, but we do not specifically target children. Parents and guardians should monitor their children's use of the App.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, please contact us immediately at tim@chillmaps.com so we can delete the information.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

• User Account Data — retained while your account is active and for up to 1 year after account deletion or subscription cancellation.
• Subscription History — retained for legal and accounting purposes for up to 7 years after subscription ends.
• Location Data — your precise location is used to fulfill in-app requests and is not retained on our servers in identifiable form. Coarse region tags (country/state) used for notification targeting are retained while your account is active.
• Reviews, Comments, & Helpful Votes — retained while published. If you delete a review, it is removed from public view. If you delete your account, your reviews are removed or anonymized.
• Venue Submissions & Corrections — submission records (including the submitter's IP address for spam prevention) are retained for our records. Approved venue and drink information becomes part of the public directory and is retained indefinitely, even if your account is later deleted.
• Favorites & Preferences — stored while your account is active. Cleared when you delete the favorite or delete your account.
• In-App Notifications — notification records (new drink, venue update, favorite, price drop) are retained while your account is active so they can appear in the app's Notifications screen.
• Cached Data (Local) — drink and venue data cached on your device expires after a short period and is automatically refreshed.
• Analytics Data — processed by third parties (Google Analytics, Meta) according to their retention policies.
• Crash Reports — retained by Sentry for up to 90 days.
• Push Notification Data — managed by OneSignal according to their retention policy.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at tim@chillmaps.com.

Our Services are primarily intended for users in the United States and Canada. If you are accessing the Services from outside North America, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located.
