Effective date: June 22, 2026

Last updated: June 22, 2026

Cork & Journey (“the app,” “we,” “our”) is operated by Skyler Paul Martin

(“we” or “the operator”). This policy explains what information the app

collects, how it is used, and your choices.

The app helps you find restaurant corkage fees. We aim to collect as

little data as possible.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

1. INFORMATION THE APP COLLECTS

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

a) Location data (optional, on-device only)

When you enable the “Near me” feature, the app reads your device’s

current location to display nearby restaurants and calculate distances.

Your location is used in real time on your device only. It is never

transmitted to our servers, never stored beyond the active search session,

and never shared with any third party.

b) Photos (optional, on submission)

If you attach a photo to a Submit Fee report, that photo is uploaded

to our hosting infrastructure (Zoho Catalyst) so our review team can

verify the listing. Photos are stored as URLs linked to your submission

and are not shared with third parties. We do not access your photo library

beyond the single image you explicitly select.

c) Restaurant submissions (“Submit Fee” form)

If you voluntarily submit a corkage fee report through the in-app form,

the following information you choose to provide is transmitted to and

stored in our customer relationship management system:

• Restaurant name, phone, address, food type, website

• Corkage fee amount and policy notes

• Your email address (used only to follow up about your submission)

• Optional photos and notes about your visit

You can omit any field except restaurant name, city, and your email. Your

email is never published, never shared with third parties for marketing,

and never used to contact you for any purpose other than verifying your

submission.

d) Subscription and purchase data

Cork & Journey Pro is an auto-renewable subscription processed entirely

by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment method, full Apple ID,

billing address, or credit card information.

We use RevenueCat to verify Apple receipts and track active subscription

state. RevenueCat receives an anonymous customer ID (generated by

RevenueCat, not tied to your name or email), subscription start and end

dates, trial state, and renewal events.

e) Local app data

The app stores restaurant data, your favorites, and any local overrides

in an on-device SQLite database. Nothing in this local database is

transmitted to our servers.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

2. INFORMATION THE APP DOES NOT COLLECT

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The app does not collect:

• Your name, age, gender, or demographic information

• Your contacts, calendar, microphone, camera (other than the photo

  picker described above), or any other device data

• Advertising identifiers or any tracking identifiers

• Usage analytics, behavioral data, or telemetry of any kind

• Crash reports tied to your identity

• Payment information directly (Apple handles all payment processing;

  we never see your card or Apple ID)

The app does not track you across other apps or websites.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  during this period.

marketing partners.

7. DATA SECURITY

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

All network communication between the app and our backend services

uses HTTPS encryption. Submitted information is protected by Zoho’s

security infrastructure. Subscription data passing through RevenueCat

is encrypted in transit and at rest by RevenueCat. Local data on your

device is protected by iOS’s standard application sandbox.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

8. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The app is intended for users 17 years of age or older because it

relates to alcoholic beverages. It is not directed at children and we

do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 17. If you are a

parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with

information, please contact us at the address below and we will

delete it.
