Privacy Policy
In brief: we do not mandate user registration, do not collect personal identifying information, and do not fire analytics trackers without explicit consent.
Integrity & Reader Privacy Protection
We respect our readers' digital autonomy. No intrusive trackers, no compulsory sign-ups, and no marketing databases sold to third parties.
What We Store in Your Web Browser
The portal utilizes localStorage — an isolated, device-side storage mechanism within your browser. This data is never transmitted to our servers and remains strictly on your local device.
- Academy Curriculum Progress — tracks completed quiz levels and the name you choose to enter for your completion certificate.
- Cookie & Analytics Consent — logs whether you accepted or declined non-essential analytics, ensuring you are not repeatedly prompted.
Clearing your browser's site data will reset these values, along with your saved Academy quiz milestones.
Analytics & Privacy
At present, zero external analytics or behavioral tracking scripts are embedded across Wine Academy. Should aggregated analytics be integrated in future releases, they will operate strictly on an opt-in basis.
What We Never Do
- We do not require user account registration, passwords, or personal telephone numbers.
- We do not sell, license, or transfer reader browsing information to ad exchanges.
- We do not employ cross-site retargeting pixels or behavioral profiling.
- We do not collect information from minors — Wine Academy content is intended for legal drinking age audiences (21+ in the US, 18+ internationally).
Complete Reader Control
You maintain absolute control over your digital footprint. At any time, you can purge local storage and cache via your browser preferences.
Wine Academy does not build cross-site device fingerprints, does not employ invisible tracking beacons, and operates strictly on a privacy-by-design architecture.
