Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 July 2026

Beersies is designed to help friends keep special relationships alive by finding opportunities to catch up. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

Who we are

Beersies is operated by Beersies Limited, based in New Zealand. Contact us at hello@beersies.org.

Information we collect

We collect the information you enter into Beersies, including your name, email address, profile photo if you add one, chosen city or town, location dates, friends, and notification preferences.

Location and tracking

Beersies does not access your phone’s GPS, location services, or background location. We only use the city or town and dates that you choose and enter in the app.

Beersies does not use advertising trackers or analytics tracking. We store and process the information you enter because it is needed to provide accounts, friend invitations, location matching, and the notifications you choose to receive.

How we use information

• Create and secure your account.
• Show relevant Beersies matches to accepted friends.
• Send account, verification, password-reset, and optional match-email notifications.
• Operate, secure, and improve the app.

What friends can see

Accepted friends can receive a Beersies match when your entered locations overlap. A match can include your name, city or town, and overlapping dates. Beersies does not share your complete calendar.

Service providers

We use Firebase and Google Cloud to operate authentication, data storage, file storage, and backend services. We use SendGrid to send optional match emails. These providers may process the information needed to provide their services.

Beersies is used worldwide. Your information may be processed in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, or other countries where our service providers operate.

Your choices and rights

You can update your profile, change or delete locations, turn match emails on or off, and delete your profile in the app. You can ask us about your information, request a correction or deletion, or ask for a copy where your local law gives you that right. Email hello@beersies.org.

How long we keep information

We keep your information while your account is active and only for as long as needed to operate Beersies. When you delete your profile, we remove your active account and associated app data. Limited technical, security, or legal records may be retained where reasonably necessary.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as Beersies develops. For privacy questions, email hello@beersies.org.
