Privacy Policy · Slow Pour

Slow Pour is a consumer and small-business product. We collect only what we need to send you relevant deal alerts and let venue owners see whether their promotions worked. This page is the plain-English version. If you want the legal one, email hello@slowpourhq.com.

What we collect

Account: email address, display name, and your account type (consumer or business).
Taste signals: cuisines, vibes, price sensitivity, neighborhoods — supplied by you in the onboarding quiz and profile editor.
Location: your home pin and search radius for ranking deals. We never track real-time GPS in the background.
Notifications: web-push subscription token and (if you opt in) phone number for SMS fallback.
Activity: which deals you opened, claimed, or redeemed. Owners see aggregate stats on their venues; we never share which specific consumers redeemed.
Billing (owners only): Stripe customer ID and subscription state. Card numbers never touch our servers — Stripe holds those.

How we use it

Recommend deals that match your taste and location.
Send push and (optionally) SMS notifications when a nearby venue drops a live deal.
Generate AI promo copy and off-peak predictions for venues (Anthropic Claude — see AI disclosure below).
Help owners measure whether AI-fired deals filled seats.
Send transactional email (signup confirmation, billing receipts, weekly digests for owners).

Third-party processors

We share data with these vendors only as needed to run the service:

Supabase — authentication, database, file storage.
Stripe — owner subscription billing.
Anthropic (Claude) — AI promo copy generation, off-peak prediction, deal ranking. We send venue and deal metadata; we don’t send your email or location to the AI.
Resend — transactional and digest email delivery.
Twilio — SMS notifications (only if you opt in and provide a phone number).
Vercel — hosting and analytics (page views, web vitals — no personal data).

AI disclosure

Push notifications, in-app deal copy, and off-peak predictions are generated by AI (Anthropic Claude). The AI can make mistakes — owners can override every deal before or while it’s live, and we’ll never charge you for a redemption a venue refuses.

Your rights

See your data: log in to /app/profile (consumer) or /business/settings (owner) — everything we have on you lives in those screens.
Delete your account: the “Delete my account” button on those screens removes every row tied to your auth record (cascade deletes). Active Stripe subscriptions are cancelled first.
Opt out of notifications: toggle push and SMS off in your profile. SMS users can also reply STOP to unsubscribe via Twilio.
Email us: hello@slowpourhq.com for anything else.

Children

Slow Pour is built for adults. Deals are for venues that serve alcohol or food during night-out hours, and account creation requires you be 18+. We don’t knowingly collect data from minors.

Cookies and storage

We use a Supabase auth cookie to keep you logged in, a referral cookie (sp_ref) for 30 days when you visit an invite link, and localStorage for your occasion picker and tour-seen state. No advertising cookies. No cross-site trackers.

Changes

If we change this policy materially, we’ll bump the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, email you before they take effect.

Accessibility Statement

Slow Pour is committed to making this service accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a baseline.

Our current efforts include:

Semantic HTML and ARIA labels on interactive elements.
Keyboard-navigable UI throughout the web app and business dashboard.
Sufficient color contrast ratios on all primary text and action elements.
Screen-reader-compatible form fields with explicit labels and error messages.
Text alternatives for non-decorative images.

We know accessibility is ongoing work, not a checkbox. If you encounter a barrier, please email hello@slowpourhq.com with a description of the issue and the page or feature where it occurs. We will respond within 5 business days and work to resolve it.

If you need content in an alternative format or require accommodation to use any part of the service, reach out at the same address and we will do our best to help.
