Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 30, 2026

1. Data controller

At Bartenderfy we take the privacy of our bartender community very seriously. This policy describes what data we collect, for what purposes we use it, with whom we share it and what rights you have over it. The data controller can be contacted at Contact.

2. Data we collect

We collect the following categories of data:

  • Account data: name, email, encrypted password (when you sign up with email/password), username and legal-age confirmation.
  • Data received when signing in with Google: name, email and public profile picture. We never receive your Google password.
  • Professional profile data: city, country, languages, specialties, bio, years of experience, social networks, profile picture.
  • Published content: recipes, gallery photos, quotes, conversations with the AI Mixologist.
  • Payment data: processed directly by Stripe; we only store a customer identifier, the contracted plan and the subscription status.
  • Technical data: IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, language, pages visited, date and time of access, security audit events.
  • Third-party data (prospective clients): when a visitor to a PRO/PRO+ profile submits a quote request, we collect their name, email, optional phone, event date and type, location, estimated guest count and message. This data is delivered to the recipient bartender and stored in their request inbox.
  • Cookies: see our Cookies.

3. Purposes of processing

  • Create and manage your account and public profile.
  • Provide Platform features (profile, recipe book, gallery, calculator, AI Mixologist, PDF export).
  • Process payments and manage subscriptions through Stripe.
  • Verify legal age and prevent fraud.
  • Operate the quote-request (LEADS) system for PRO/PRO+ profiles: validate the submission, apply anti-spam rate limits per IP and deliver the request to the recipient bartender via email and dashboard.
  • Send you operational notifications (account changes, billing, security, password reset) and, if you opt in, promotional communications.
  • Improve the Platform through aggregated and anonymized analytics.
  • Comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations.

4. Legal basis

Processing is based on:

  • Contract performance: providing the services you contracted.
  • Consent: for optional cookies, promotional communications and use of Google sign-in.
  • Legitimate interest: security, fraud prevention and product improvement.
  • Legal obligation: tax, accounting compliance and response to authorities' requirements.

5. Data retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you close it, we delete personal data within a maximum of 30 days, except those we must retain by legal obligation (e.g., billing: 5 to 10 years depending on jurisdiction) or for defense against claims. Security audit logs are kept for up to 12 months.

6. Recipients and international transfers

We share data exclusively with the following processors, all of which are subject to contractual obligations of confidentiality and security:

  • Lovable Cloud (built on Supabase): database infrastructure, authentication, file storage and OAuth broker for Google sign-in.
  • Cloudflare: hosting, CDN and serverless function execution.
  • Stripe, Inc.: payment processing, subscription management and billing portal.
  • Lovable AI Gateway: managed gateway to Google and OpenAI AI models, exclusively to process your queries to the AI Mixologist.
  • Resend: delivery of transactional emails (verification, password reset, notifications).
  • Competent authorities: when there is a valid legal obligation.

Some providers are located outside the European Economic Area (mainly the United States). In such cases we guarantee an adequate level of protection through Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or other equivalent mechanisms. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

7. Sign in with Google

When you choose to sign in with Google, the OAuth flow is handled by Lovable Cloud, which acts as the authentication broker. Google shares your name, email and public profile picture with us to create or link your account. We never receive or store your Google password. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account and from your panel on Bartenderfy.

8. Your rights

In compliance with GDPR and similar regulations, you have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you.
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Delete your data (right to be forgotten).
  • Restrict or object to processing.
  • Port your data to another provider.
  • Withdraw consent when it is the basis of processing.
  • File a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can exercise these rights from your panel or by writing to Contact. We will respond within a maximum of 30 days.

9. Security

We apply technical and organizational measures to protect your data: encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, role-based access control, Row-Level Security in the database, password hashing, validation of post-payment return URLs, rate limiting on authentication endpoints, audit of administrative actions and logging of suspicious events. No system is 100% inviolable; if we detect a breach that may affect you, we will notify you within a maximum of 72 hours.

10. Minors

Bartenderfy is not directed to persons under 18 (or 21 depending on jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we discover that a minor has created an account, we will delete it immediately.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal or technical changes. We will notify you by email or via a prominent notice on the Platform at least 15 days in advance when changes are substantial.
