This is what Gossip collects, why, and who touches it. Short version: we collect what the product needs to work, we don't sell your data, and you can ask us to delete everything.
- Account: your email address and the name you choose.
- What you log: wines, ratings, notes, bottle photos, cellar contents, prices you paid, and (if you choose a restaurant) where you drank a bottle.
- What you post: comments, likes, and saves.
- Chat: your conversations with Gossip's advice chat are stored so the chat can remember context and so we can improve it.
- Usage: standard analytics — pages visited, referrers, device type — via Vercel Analytics, without third-party ad cookies.
Bottles you share appear in the feed for other members. Aggregate data — community ratings, average prices paid, cellar counts — appears on public wine pages without names. Your cellar contents, personal notes, and identity are never shown on the public web.
Gossip runs on a small set of services that store or process data on our behalf: Supabase (database and login), Vercel (hosting and analytics), Resend (email), Anthropic (the AI that powers scanning, research, and chat — label photos and chat messages are processed to generate responses), and Google Places (restaurant search, only when you search for a venue). None of them are allowed to use your data for their own purposes beyond providing the service.
We send sign-in codes, a welcome note, and occasional product updates. Reply to any email or write help@gossip.wine to opt out of non-essential email.
Ask us what we have, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and data entirely: help@gossip.wine. Deletion removes your profile, logs, photos, comments, and chat history; aggregate statistics that no longer identify you may persist.
We don't sell personal data. We don't run third-party advertising. If that ever changes, this policy changes first, loudly.
