Privacy Policy

We use a privacy-respecting web analytics service to understand how people use the site. This collects information like which pages you visit, what device and browser you're using, your approximate location (city-level, not your exact address), and how you found us (search engine, direct link, social media, etc.).

When ads are enabled, we work with advertising partners that may use cookies to serve ads that can be personalized based on your browsing activity across the web.

If you submit a community sighting report or delivery day report, we collect whatever information you choose to include. These submissions are voluntary and are used to help other bourbon hunters.

If you create an account, we collect your email address through our third-party database and authentication provider. If you contact us directly, we'll have whatever email address you use to reach us at info@bottlehuntohio.com.

Analytics data helps us understand which features people use, where traffic comes from, and how we can improve the site. When ads are enabled, we work with advertising partners to display relevant ads, which helps keep Bottle Hunt Ohio free for everyone.

Community-submitted sighting and delivery day reports are displayed publicly on the site to help other hunters plan their trips. That is the core purpose of the site.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Period.

Our analytics provider sets cookies to distinguish between visitors and track how you interact with the site. Advertising partners may set their own cookies to serve and personalize ads. If you're logged in, our authentication provider stores a session cookie to keep you authenticated.

You can opt in or out of analytics on this site at any time using the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer. You can also opt out of most analytics tracking by enabling Do Not Track in your browser, installing a privacy-focused browser extension, or using industry opt-out tools, or disable cookies entirely in your browser settings (though that may affect site functionality).

Bottle Hunt Ohio relies on a handful of third-party services to operate. These include a web analytics service, advertising partners (when ads are enabled), a database and authentication provider, and a CDN and DDoS protection provider. Each has its own privacy practices. If you'd like specifics on any processor we use, contact us at info@bottlehuntohio.com.

You can request deletion of your account and any data you've submitted by emailing info@bottlehuntohio.com. You can opt out of analytics tracking and ad personalization at any time using the tools described in the Cookies section above.

If you're a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you additional rights regarding your personal information. For the record, we do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. To manage analytics on this site, use the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer.

Bottle Hunt Ohio is not directed at anyone under the age of 21. The site is about tracking bourbon and spirits releases, which are age-restricted products. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 21. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider's standard retention policies. Community-submitted sighting and delivery day reports are retained indefinitely since they are the core content of the site. Account data is deleted upon request.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally, but we're not going to make any drastic changes without good reason.
