My Wine Walk
Privacy policy
Your memories stay yours. Here's what we keep, why, who helps us run the app, and how to see, download or delete it all.
Last updated: October 9, 2026
The short version
We do
- Use what you tell us to match you with wineries and plan your trips.
- Keep your wine and visit memories private unless you choose to share them.
- Count your Loved, Liked and Not for me ratings anonymously toward a winery's score. Only totals show, never who rated.
- Show wineries anonymous counts, like how many people saved them. Never who.
- Use your location only when you ask for it.
- Email you about your account, and send wine travel ideas only if you said yes.
- Delete your account and memories when you ask.
We never
- Sell your data. To anyone.
- Show wineries your name, notes or photos.
- Track you around the web or fill your feed with ads.
- Train AI on your memories without asking first.
- See your card details. Stripe handles payment.
Who we are
My Wine Walk is run by S&H Reynolds LLC, 522 W Riverside Ave Ste N, Spokane, WA 99201, USA. It's made for travelers based in the United States, and your information is stored in the United States. Questions about your data go to info@mywinewalk.com.
What we keep
- Your account:email, name, how you sign in, that you confirmed you're 21 or older, which version of these pages you agreed to, and your email choices.
- Your taste: quiz answers and the styles, grapes and places your memories show you love.
- Your memories: wines and winery visits, dates, ratings, your notes and photos.
- Your Wish list and trips: wineries you saved, stops, days and times, and where a day starts. For the start we keep a name you choose and an approximate point (about a kilometer), never a street address.
- Plus: your plan, trial and renewal dates. Stripe keeps your card; we never see it.
- Wineries: for owners who claim a listing, a work email, phone and the details that prove they run it.
- Messages: what you send us, like a winery or region request or a support email.
- Keeping things running: sign-in cookies, basic records of which app features get used, and error logs that help us fix bugs.
Location and photos
We only ask for your location when you tap something like "Show trips near me" or "Use where I am". Sorting by distance happens in your browser. We don't keep a history of where you've been beyond the visits you choose to remember.
If you tell us your city and state or country when you sign up (or later in Settings), we use it to show wineries near you first and to match them to your taste. Only you can see it, and you can change or clear it in Settings anytime.
Memory photos are private. When you add one, the app shrinks it first, which also removes the hidden location data phones put in photos. If you choose to let a label photo show on a wine's page, that photo becomes public, without your name.
How we use it
- To run your account, memories, Wish list and trips.
- To match you with wineries and wines you're likely to love.
- To build anonymous winery scores and the anonymous counts wineries see in their Insights.
- To handle Plus billing and trials.
- To send account emails (sign-in links, receipts, renewal reminders) and, only if you said yes, a couple of wine travel emails a month at most.
- To keep the app secure, fix bugs and prevent abuse.
- To follow the law, like keeping tax records.
Who helps us run the app
A few companies handle data for us, only to provide their service, under contracts that limit what they can do with it:
- Supabase: database, sign-in and photo storage.
- Vercel: hosting the website and app.
- Stripe: payments and subscriptions.
- Our email provider: sign-in and account emails.
- OpenFreeMap: map pictures. Your browser loads them directly, which shares your internet address with them, as any website does.
We share information otherwise only if the law requires it, to protect someone's safety, or if My Wine Walk is ever sold or merged, in which case this policy still applies to your data. We don't sell personal information or share it for advertising, and we don't share it with others for their own marketing.
Cookies and tracking
We use only the cookies the app needs: keeping you signed in and remembering a few settings. No advertising cookies and no trackers that follow you to other sites. Because we don't track you across sites, we treat every visitor the same whether or not their browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal.
How long we keep it
- Your memories, Wish list and trips: until you delete them or your account.
- A closed account: fully removed within 30 days, and from backups within 90 days.
- Error logs: 90 days.
- Billing and tax records: 7 years, as tax law requires.
- Anonymous rating counts stay in winery scores, since they can't be traced back to you.
Your choices
- See and download it: Settings, then Your data, then Download my data.
- Delete it: remove any memory, or delete your whole account under Settings, then Your data.
- Correct it: edit any memory or your profile.
- Stop emails: the unsubscribe link in any email, or Settings.
Anything else, email info@mywinewalk.com. We reply within 30 days. These choices are for everyone, wherever you live. Some states, including California, give residents specific privacy rights; we honor them, and we never treat you differently for using them.
Age
My Wine Walk is for people 21and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger, and we delete an account if we learn it belongs to someone under 21.
Keeping it safe
Your data is encrypted in transit, private memories are locked to your account, and only a small number of people at My Wine Walk can reach the systems that store it. No system is perfect. If a breach puts your information at risk, we'll tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we use your information in a way that matters, we'll email you and show a note in the app about 30 days before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version. Also see our Terms of Service.
