CupNotesCellar
CupNotesCellar is an offline tasting journal for wine and coffee — you log what you drank, score it on five palate axes, tag the flavours you found, and the app charts milestones from your own entries. This page explains what the app does and does not do with your data.
CupNotesCellar does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information. There is no account, no sign-in, and no network communication of any kind — the app works identically in aeroplane mode.
Information we collect
None. The app never asks for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, or any other personal identifier, and it has no mechanism for sending information anywhere. The display name and emblem you choose inside the app are just labels you invent for your own journal; they are stored on the device and read by no one but you.
Data stored on your device
To make the app work, CupNotesCellar stores the following only on your device, using the operating system's local storage:
- Tasting entries — a local SQLite database (cupnotes_cellar.db) holding, per entry: kind (wine or coffee), label, producer or roaster, origin, vintage or roast marker, serving or brew method, price, star rating, five palate scores, flavour tags, your written note, favourite flag, and the tasting date.
- Taster profile — your chosen display name, emblem index, and the date the cellar was first opened.
- Preferences — default entry kind, currency symbol, compact-list toggle, price-visibility toggle, and whether the introduction has been completed.
- Milestone state — which milestone banners have already been shown, so the same one is not repeated.
This data never leaves your device. It is not uploaded to CupNotesCellar or to any third party. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes all of it permanently.
Permissions
The release build of CupNotesCellar requests no runtime permissions and declares none in its Android manifest. It does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts, photo library, or storage outside its own sandbox. (For completeness: Flutter's debug and profile build configurations declare the INTERNET permission so developer tooling can attach during development — that declaration is not part of the release build you install from Google Play, and the app contains no networking code in any build.)
Network use
None. The app has no HTTP client, no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, and no remote configuration — nothing is uploaded, downloaded, or synchronised. The only outward-facing action is the system share sheet, which you open deliberately by tapping share; your device's own share sheet then appears with a short text summary, and you choose the destination (or dismiss it, in which case nothing leaves the device).
Third-party services
None are integrated. The app's dependencies — sqflite, shared_preferences, flutter_bloc, fl_chart, flutter_svg, flutter_animate, gap, collection, intl, path, and share_plus — are open-source Flutter packages that run locally on the device. None of them contacts a server on the app's behalf.
Children's privacy
CupNotesCellar is intended for adults keeping tasting notes and is not directed at children under 13. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children; anything typed stays on the device exactly as it would for any other user.
Your rights
Your data never leaves your device, so you already hold complete control. Every entry is visible in the Library tab, editable from its detail screen, and deletable individually; uninstalling the app erases the database, preferences, and milestone state permanently. The share button produces a plain-text summary of any entry you want to keep outside the app. There is no server-side copy for us to look up, export, or erase on your behalf, because none was ever created.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the date at the top of this page will be revised. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
