Privacy Policy

Last updated May 18, 2026

This policy explains what Tastenotes collects when you buy a tasting booklet, how we use it, and how long we keep it. Questions can be sent to tastenotes@forage.bot.

1. Information we collect

  • Your email address, so we can send you the finished booklet.
  • The category, occasion, audience level, the item names you type in, and the optional host name. We use these only to generate that one booklet.
  • Payment and order metadata such as purchase time, price, refund status, and Stripe identifiers.
  • The generated booklet PDF artifact and the order record that points to it.
  • Feedback and support messages you send through the site or by email.
  • Basic technical logs such as IP address, user agent, request path, timestamps, and diagnostic metadata generated when the site is used.

2. How we use information

  • To generate the tasting booklet you asked for.
  • To process payments, refunds, and delivery emails.
  • To operate, secure, debug, and improve the service.
  • To answer support requests and review product feedback.
  • To maintain accounting, tax, and legal records.

We do not sell personal information or use third-party ad trackers on the site. The item names you type are printed verbatim into the booklet and are never used as input to generate any other customer’s booklet.

3. Providers we use

  • Stripe for payment processing and refunds.
  • Vercel for hosting, server functions, blob storage, and privacy-focused site analytics.
  • Resend for transactional delivery emails.
  • OpenRouter and one or more upstream model providers to generate the category-general vocabulary cheatsheet.
  • GitHub for internal issue tracking tied to feedback and support workflows.

4. Retention

Your order record stores the inputs you entered along with the generated booklet for as long as we need it to let you re-download the booklet, issue a refund, and keep accounting / tax records.

Generated output, order metadata, refund records, and delivery artifacts may remain in our system for support, accounting, security, or legal reasons.

5. Your choices

If you want us to remove an existing order, contact tastenotes@forage.bot. We will review the request subject to legal, accounting, fraud, and operational retention needs.
