Privacy Policy

Who operates this site

The data controller is the operator of wine2.icoffio.com. For any privacy matter, use the contact address at the bottom of this page.

What we store

The site collects no visitor names, e-mail addresses or payment data. Only the following data is created:

• An anonymous taste profile – your Vinocompas settings are saved in your browser's localStorage. Optionally the profile is synced to our database under a random identifier (UUID) generated in your browser – never linked to a name or e-mail address.
• Analytics events – which pages, dishes and wines were viewed or selected, plus interactions with the wheel. Events carry no names or e-mail addresses; at most the same anonymous identifier.
• Chat messages – questions to the wine guide and pairing-explanation requests are sent to the OpenAI API to generate a reply. We store the conversations on our server to learn what guests ask, and delete them after 90 days. Please don't type personal data into the chat.
• Questions about picking specific wines in the tutorial – when you ask the tutorial's chat for a wine recommendation (for a dish, an occasion or a budget, say) or ask about a particular bottle, our server passes the question (briefly reworded to include the earlier conversation) together with your taste profile to the winnica.pl shop's sommelier assistant (the wineassistance.pl service), which searches the shop's range. We attach a random browser identifier so the sommelier can follow the thread of the conversation – no name, no e-mail address and not your IP address. Whether the guide or the sommelier answers is decided by a short automatic classification of the question via the OpenAI API. The chat on the Pairing page (wines for restaurant dishes) does not use the shop's sommelier.

IP addresses and rate limiting

Your IP address is used only transiently – to rate-limit API requests (abuse protection). We do not store IP addresses alongside analytics events or taste profiles.

Cookies and browser storage

The only cookie this site sets is NEXT_LOCALE – it remembers your language choice (Polish or English). There are no advertising or tracking cookies. Your taste profile and small interface preferences live in your browser's localStorage – clear the site data at any time to remove them.

Third-party services

We rely on three external services, each receiving only what is technically necessary:

• OpenAI (API) – processes the content of chat messages and descriptions of dish and wine pairings to generate replies, and in the tutorial also to decide who should answer. The conversation text is transmitted, not your identity.
• The winnica.pl shop's sommelier assistant (wineassistance.pl) – receives the tutorial chat's questions about picking specific wines together with your taste profile and a random browser identifier, not your identity or IP address. Clicking a wine in the tutorial opens the winnica.pl shop, where the shop's privacy policy applies.
• Mapbox – the restaurant map on the homepage loads tiles from Mapbox servers; your browser connects to them directly (Mapbox then sees your IP address, subject to its own privacy policy).

How long we keep data

Analytics events are kept as a log for product development. The anonymous taste profile is kept until you ask us to delete it or overwrite it with a new one.

Your rights (GDPR)

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your data. Because the data is anonymous, we need your anonymous identifier to act on a request – you'll find it in your browser's localStorage (the key that holds your taste profile). You can remove data stored only in your browser by clearing the site data yourself.

Changes to this policy

If the scope of processing changes, we will update this page and the date at its top. Significant changes will be signposted on the site.
