Effective 1 August 2026 · Last updated 1 August 2026
Apéritif does not collect, store, transmit, sell or share any personal information. There is no account, no sign-in, and no tracking of any kind.
Apéritif is developed and published by Ümit Kılınç, an individual developer based in the Republic of Türkiye, contactable at klncumit@gmail.com. The app is available worldwide.
Under the GDPR this would make the developer the data controller, and under Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) the data controller (veri sorumlusu). In practice no personal data is processed at all, so there is nothing to control.
Nothing. The app has no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, and no third-party software development kits. We do not know who you are, that you installed the app, or whether you have ever opened it.
Apéritif makes no network requests. Every recipe, photograph and piece of text is included in the app when you download it from the App Store. The app functions identically with the device in aeroplane mode.
Because nothing is sent anywhere, there is no data in transit to intercept, no server holding anything about you, and no international transfer of personal data to consider.
The app remembers a few preferences so it behaves the way you left it:
These are stored by iOS in the app's own storage, never leave the device, and are deleted along with the app if you remove it. They are not accessible to the developer.
If you turn the daily reminder on, notifications are scheduled locally by your device. Their contents are composed on your phone from recipes already stored there. No push server is involved and no notification token is ever transmitted.
You can revoke permission at any time in the iOS Settings app, under Notifications.
Apéritif concerns alcoholic drinks, is rated 17+, and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, which necessarily includes children.
The app contains no third-party services, trackers or advertising networks.
Apple distributes the app and may collect its own information about App Store downloads under Apple's privacy policy. That relationship is between you and Apple, and is outside the developer's control or visibility.
Data protection laws — the GDPR in the European Union and the United Kingdom, the CCPA and CPRA in California, the KVKK in Türkiye, the LGPD in Brazil, PIPEDA in Canada and others — grant rights over personal data that an organisation holds about you: access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, and the withdrawal of consent.
Those rights are honoured here in the most complete way available: no such data exists. There is nothing to disclose, nothing to correct, nothing to export, nothing to erase, and no consent that was ever required. Deleting the app removes everything it ever stored on your device.
We have never sold or shared personal information, and have no mechanism by which we could.
If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed, you may complain to your national supervisory authority — in the European Union your local Data Protection Authority, in the United Kingdom the ICO, and in Türkiye the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK Kurumu). You are welcome to write to us first at klncumit@gmail.com.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
