Effective 15 November 2026. This policy covers the Drinkit.tn app for iPhone and Android and this website, drinkit-tn.in.
In short
- There’s no account, and we have no server that collects your data. Drinkit.tn reads TASMAC’s public information straight from your phone.
- No analytics, no crash-reporting service, no advertising and no tracking.
- Anything you save (bottles, shops, your order, your name and mobile number for checkout) stays on your phone.
- We don’t sell alcohol or handle payments. You pay TASMAC on its own website.
What the app sends, and to whom
The app talks to these services directly. None of them is operated by Drinkit.tn.
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| TASMAC’s public API (dashboard-api.tasmace2e.in) | Your phone’s location, if you allow it; shop numbers and product IDs you look at; your IP address | To list nearby shops, their stock, and where a bottle is in stock |
| TASMAC’s website (tasmac.tn.gov.in) and its payment bank | Your order, name and mobile number, OTP and payment details, entered on TASMAC’s pages | Only when you choose to order ahead and pay |
| OpenStreetMap tile servers, and unpkg.com for the map library | Your IP address and the map area on screen | To draw the map |
| GitHub Pages | Your IP address | To load bottle photos |
Each of these services handles that information under its own privacy policy. Drinkit.tn doesn’t receive a copy.
Your location
If you allow location access, the app uses it to find shops near you and to work out distances on your phone. It sends your coordinates to TASMAC’s public API to ask for nearby shops. They aren’t sent to us or stored by us. You can turn location off at any time and search by district or shop number instead.
Ordering ahead
When you order ahead, the app opens TASMAC’s checkout inside the app and fills in your basket, name and mobile number. You enter the OTP and pay on TASMAC’s page. Your payment details go only to TASMAC and its bank. The app keeps the receipt and pickup QR code on your phone so you can show them at the counter.
What stays on your phone
Your language and theme, saved bottles and shops, your current order, past receipts, and the name and mobile number you use for checkout. This is stored in the app’s own storage. Deleting the app deletes all of it. We can’t see it, so we can’t delete it for you or recover it.
What we don’t collect
No accounts, email addresses, contacts, photos, government ID, payment card or UPI details, advertising identifiers or device fingerprints. The camera is used only when you scan a shop’s QR code, and the image never leaves your phone.
This website
The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, page requested and browser type) to run and protect the service. We use no cookies and no analytics. One item in your browser’s local storage remembers that you’ve dismissed the 21+ notice.
Age
Drinkit.tn is for adults aged 21 and over, the legal age to buy alcohol in Tamil Nadu. The app asks you to confirm your age the first time you open it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the effective date above. If a change means the app collects something new, the app will tell you before it happens.
