Privacy policy
Last updated: October 2026
This policy describes how the Vitola app (“the app”, “we”) collects, uses and protects your data. Vitola is a free collection-management app — wine cellar, spirits and cigars — published by Erwann Giffault.
1. Data we collect
When you create an account and use the app, we collect:
- Your email address, to create and secure your account.
- A nickname (optional), if you choose to set one for the “friends” feature.
- The data you enter: your places and containers, your references (wines, spirits, cigars), quantities and prices, your tastings (ratings, flavors, aromas, comments, photos) and your shopping list.
- Your friendship links (exchanged friend codes), if you use the community feature.
We collect no location data and no advertising identifier; the app contains no ads, no third-party trackers and no in-app purchases.
2. Camera and photo library
Access to the camera and photo library is only requested when you choose to add a photo to a reference or a tasting. Photos are stored with your account and are visible only to you and the friends you have accepted.
3. Use of data
Your data is used solely to run the app: display your cellar and tastings, and enable sharing with the friends you added yourself. Archived tastings remain private.
4. Hosting
Data is securely hosted by Supabase (infrastructure located in the European Union). Access is protected by security rules that prevent any user from accessing another user's data without a friendship link.
5. Online search
When you search for a reference, the app queries public databases to pre-fill the record: Open Food Facts for wines and spirits (open database, ODbL licence), and public pages of cigares.com for cigars. Only your search text is sent; no personal data is.
6. Sharing with third parties
We do not sell, rent or share your personal data with any third party for commercial purposes.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you can at any time:
- View and edit your data directly in the app.
- Delete your account and all your data permanently, from Profile → “My account”.
- Contact us with any question about your data.
8. Retention
Your data is kept as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, all your data (containers, references, tastings, photos, profile, friendship links) is erased from our servers.
9. Contact
