Privacy Policy for Jig & Tin

Last updated: 11-11-26

A short version

Jig & Tin is a personal cocktail recipe book. Your recipes, notes, and photos stay on your device. If you buy Jig & Tin Pro, they can also sync through your own private iCloud. The developer cannot read that iCloud data.

There are no accounts to create, no ads, no analytics, and no third-party software kits in the app. The only network use is Apple iCloud (if you use Pro sync) and Apple's App Store payment system. Scan Recipe looks at a photo on your device and does not send that photo to us.

Who this is for

This policy is for the Jig & Tin app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (version 1.0). Jig & Tin is made by a working head bartender in New York. It is a recipe book. It is not a drinking app, and it is not aimed at children.

What the app stores on your device

The app stores the recipes you add, including names, ingredients, amounts, tasting notes, favorites, collections, accent color choice, and any photo you attach. That data is saved on your device with Apple's SwiftData.

To delete your recipes, delete them in the app. If you use Pro sync, deleting them in the app removes them from your iCloud copy too. Deleting the app removes the copy that was only on that device.

iCloud sync (Jig & Tin Pro)

If you buy Pro and use iCloud sync, your library syncs through your own private iCloud (CloudKit). That data stays in your iCloud account. The developer cannot read it.

Apple provides iCloud. Apple's own privacy policy covers how Apple handles iCloud. We do not run a Jig & Tin server that keeps a copy of your recipes.

You can turn off iCloud or stop using sync in your device settings.

Scan Recipe, Camera, and Photos

Scan Recipe reads a recipe from a photo. That work runs on your device with Apple Vision and VisionKit. We do not receive the photo or the scanned text.

Camera access is used to scan a recipe.
Photos access is used only when you pick a photo, either to scan a recipe or to attach a photo to a spec.
On Mac, you can also give Scan Recipe an image file.

You can deny Camera or Photos access in Settings. You can still add recipes by typing.

Purchases

Jig & Tin Pro is a one-time In-App Purchase, sold only through the App Store. Payments are handled by Apple. We do not see your card number or Apple ID password. Family Sharing is included on the Pro purchase, under Apple's Family Sharing rules.

Restore Purchases is in the app, on the paywall and in Settings (Browse, then Pro).
