Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

The Website does not collect personally identifiable information (PII). No registration, login, or submission of personal details is required to use the Website.

Location Data

The Website may request access to your geographic location through your browser's location services. This data:

• Is used solely to find wineries near you
• Is processed client-side (in your browser) only
• Is not stored on our servers
• Is not shared with third parties (except Google Maps API for map display)

You may decline the location request — in that case, the Website will attempt to estimate your location based on your IP address, or you can use manual search.

IP Address

If browser location services are unavailable, the Website may send a request to the ipapi.co service to obtain an approximate location based on your IP address. This service is operated by a third party and is subject to its own privacy policy.
