Privacy Policy

MyCocktailz ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website mycocktailz.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data.

Information We Collect

Account information

When you sign in with Google or email, we store your email address, display name, and profile photo URL to maintain your account.

User-generated content

We store your favourited cocktails, events you create (including cocktail selections and guest quantities), and any recipes you save from the quiz.

Quiz responses

When you take the Cocktail DNA Quiz, your answers (vibe, flavour, spirit, occasion, and colour preferences) are sent to an AI service to generate a personalised cocktail recipe. These responses are stored if you choose to save the result.

Analytics data

We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data such as page views, referral sources, country, and device type. This data contains no personally identifiable information and does not use cookies.

Local preferences

We store your theme preference, measurement unit preference (metric/imperial), and language preference locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.

How We Use Your Information

• Provide and maintain your account and saved content
• Generate personalised cocktail recipes via the quiz
• Send transactional emails you request (recipes, shopping lists, event QR codes)
• Display shopping links relevant to your country via Amazon Associates
• Understand how the site is used in aggregate to improve the experience
• Share event menus with guests and bar staff when you choose to

Cookies and Local Storage

We use a minimal number of cookies, all of which are functional:

We also use your browser's local storage to remember your theme (light/dark) and measurement unit preferences. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Third-Party Services

Google

Used for sign-in authentication. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile photo. Google's privacy policy governs their handling of your data.

Postmark

We use Postmark to deliver transactional emails (sign-in links, recipes, shopping lists, and event menus). Your email address is shared with Postmark solely for email delivery.

Anthropic (Claude AI)

Quiz answers are sent to Anthropic's Claude AI to generate your personalised cocktail recipe. No account information is included in these requests.

Vercel Analytics

Provides anonymous, cookie-free analytics. No personally identifiable information is collected or shared.

Amazon Associates

Shopping list links use Amazon Associates affiliate tags. Clicking these links takes you to Amazon, where their privacy policy applies. We do not receive any information about your purchases.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data with the third-party services listed above, and only to the extent necessary to provide the features you use. When you share an event menu, the cocktail selections (not your account details) are made accessible via the shared link.
