Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 28, 2026
Last updated: September 28, 2026
1. Who We Are
Jovra operates the Jovra app and is the controller of the personal information described in this policy. Contact us at Jovra@gmail.com. Use of the app is also governed by our Terms of Service.
2. Scope
This policy covers the Jovra iOS app, its account service, shaker-session records, manual comparisons, and support communications. This policy webpage does not use cookies, analytics, advertising trackers, scripts, or external resources.
3. Information We Collect
| Category | Examples | Source | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Account details | Username, email or sign-in identifier, protected password credential when used | You provide these at registration | Create an account, authenticate you, and answer account requests | Until account deletion; ordinary backup copies for up to 30 further days |
| Drink and shaker records | Saved recipes, shaker model and capacity, fill level, ice load, shake duration, final pour volume, tasting ratings, comparison goals and saved results | You enter and compare them manually | Keep your history, compare the same recipe, and show your session board | Until you delete a record or your account; ordinary backup copies for up to 30 further days |
| Optional media | Shaker or finished-drink photos and voice tasting notes | You select or create them after camera, photo library, or microphone permission | Attach them to a record you choose to save | Until you delete the attachment or your account; ordinary backup copies for up to 30 further days |
| Device and service logs | App version, device type, connection time, error and security events | Collected automatically when the app connects | Maintain service security and fix failures | Up to 90 days |
| Purchase records | Apple purchase confirmation, product identifier, transaction status and coin balance | Apple sends a receipt; Jovra records the resulting balance | Credit consumable coins, prevent fraud, and keep required records | While the account exists; transaction records for up to 7 years where required by law |
| Support messages | Your email address and the content you send us | You contact Jovra | Answer requests and resolve problems | Up to 24 months after the last exchange, unless a longer legal hold applies |
| Permission choice | Your iOS tracking authorization status | iOS provides it when requested | Respect your tracking preference | On your device until you change it or uninstall the app |
We do not collect your contacts, precise location, payment card number, Apple ID password, or health records for Jovra's features. We do not access your camera, photo library, or microphone unless you choose a feature that needs it and grant the corresponding permission.
4. Account Information
You must register and sign in to use Jovra. The registration screen collects a username and an email address or sign-in identifier, plus a password credential if the method you choose uses a password. Password credentials are protected rather than displayed in your profile. These details, your shaker and drink records, saved comparison files, and coin balance are kept in your server-side account so they remain available after sign-in.
You can edit your profile and records in the app. To close your account and delete its server-stored data, use Delete Account in the app's account settings. If you cannot sign in, email Jovra@gmail.com. We remove active account records within 30 days of a verified request and ordinary backups within a further 30 days, except records we must retain for legal, security, or dispute purposes. Account deletion also clears the app's local account data when completed; uninstalling the app removes its remaining local data from that device.
5. How We Use Information and Legal Bases
- Perform our contract: register and authenticate your account, store recipes and shaker sessions, display saved comparisons, maintain coin balances, and provide support you request.
- Legitimate interests: protect accounts, detect misuse, troubleshoot errors, and maintain reliable service, balanced against your privacy rights.
- Your consent: access optional camera, photo library, or microphone content; and, if ever enabled, use iOS tracking permission for the purpose described below. You may withdraw consent through app or iOS settings, or by contacting us.
- Legal obligations: keep transaction or other records required by applicable law and respond to lawful requests.
6. No AI Processing
Jovra performs no AI analysis. Comparisons are manual data tables built only from values you recorded: the saved recipe, shaker model and capacity, fill level, ice load, shake duration, final pour volume, and your chill, texture, and dilution ratings. No session data is sent to any model provider, and no generated advice, rankings, or suggestions are produced.
Comparison files, recipe boards, and exported summaries contain only your recorded data. Photos and voice notes stay on your device and our account servers as attachments you chose to save; they are never transmitted for automated analysis.
7. How We Share Information
Jovra stores account data on the servers it operates for the app. The named outside recipient for the functions described here is:
- Apple: distributes the app, processes one-time in-app purchases and refunds, and provides purchase confirmations to Jovra.
We may also disclose information when you direct us to, when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a merger or acquisition subject to applicable protections and notice. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. No advertising network currently receives Jovra account, session, or device data.
8. Tracking and Advertising
The iOS permission wording for tracking explains a possible purpose: showing more relevant cocktail equipment ads across apps and websites. Jovra does not currently link your activity with data from other companies' apps or websites, and does not send an advertising identifier or activity data to an ad network. Granting an iOS permission alone does not start such tracking.
Before enabling cross-app tracking, we would update this policy to identify the information used and its recipient, and request your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, core shaker-record and comparison features remain available. You can change a tracking choice at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
9. Payments
Jovra offers one-time consumable coin purchases through Apple's in-app purchase system. Recording trials, saving recipes and shakers, and comparing sessions on screen stay free. Generating archive files uses coins: trial files cost 20 coins, comparison files 35 coins, recipe boards 90 coins, exports 15 coins, and extra template themes 50 coins. New accounts start with 120 coins. Apple handles payment and refunds under its App Store policies. Jovra receives a purchase confirmation and records your coin balance, but does not receive your payment card number or Apple ID password.
10. Data Retention
Account details, recipes, shaker sessions, attachments, and saved comparison results remain until you delete them or close the account; active copies are deleted within 30 days of a verified account-deletion request and ordinary backups within a further 30 days. Local app data remains until you clear it, delete the account, or uninstall the app. Device and service logs are kept for up to 90 days; support email is kept for up to 24 months after the last exchange. Purchase transaction records may be kept for up to seven years where accounting or tax law requires. Data subject to a lawful preservation duty is deleted when that duty ends.
11. International Transfers
Apple and Jovra's account infrastructure may process data in the United States or other countries outside your own. Where European Union or United Kingdom law applies and a transfer needs safeguards, Jovra uses an applicable adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism, together with appropriate technical and organizational measures. Contact us for information about safeguards applicable to your data.
12. Your Rights
Rights available to users
Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, delete, or export your information and withdraw consent for optional processing. You can edit records and request account deletion in the app, change device permissions in iOS settings, or email Jovra@gmail.com. We verify your identity before acting on a request and ordinarily respond within 30 days.
European Union and United Kingdom
You may also request restriction of processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and complain to a competent data protection authority. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing lawfully completed before withdrawal.
California and other United States states
Where state law applies, you may request to know, access, delete, or correct personal information, and opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Jovra does not currently sell or share data for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights. You may designate an authorized agent where law allows and appeal a denied request by replying to our decision or emailing us with Privacy Appeal in the subject. We respond to California requests within 45 days unless a lawful extension is needed; other requests are normally answered within 30 days.
Account deletion removes server data and local account data as described above. Uninstalling the app also removes remaining local data on that device but does not by itself close the server account.
13. Security
We use encrypted transport, access controls, and data minimization to protect information. Only people or services with a service need receive access. No system is perfectly secure; please protect your login details and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
14. Children's Privacy
Jovra is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If we learn that an under-13 child provided information, we will delete it promptly. A parent or guardian can contact Jovra@gmail.com.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the service changes. We will change the Last updated date and notify you in the app before a material change takes effect. If a new use requires consent, we will request it before that use begins.
