CellarSlate
Private offline wine-cellar ledger
The short version
Wine and Cellar Data CellarSlate Handles
CellarSlate stores the wine names, vintages, producers, types, grapes, regions, countries, bottle sizes, notes, selected photos, location names and hierarchy, bottle quantities, acquisition costs and currencies, dates, event notes, personal ratings, tasting observations, pairings, and tasting photos that you enter. These facts are used only to organize and review your private cellar. CellarSlate does not identify labels, connect to a wine database, estimate value or maturity, or provide buying and drinking recommendations.
Local Storage
Your ledger and re-encoded photos are stored locally in CellarSlate's private app container on your iPhone or iPad. CellarSlate has no account, cloud sync, advertising, analytics, AI service, social feature, or online wine-catalog integration and does not upload wine profiles, locations, bottle events, tasting notes, photos, or backups to ApplyAI servers.
Backups, Imports, and Sharing
A complete .cellarslate backup is created only when you request it and includes the local ledger and its re-encoded images. You choose where to save or share the file. CellarSlate reads an import only after you select it, previews its counts, and validates the schema, checksum, references, stock balances, and complete SHA-256 event chain before atomically replacing current data. The existing ledger is not overwritten when validation fails. Exported files are governed by the destination you choose.
Optional Feedback
If you submit in-app feedback, CellarSlate sends your message, optional email address, selected feedback screenshots, app version, build number, operating-system version, device model, locale, and App Attest security proof to the ApplyAI support service. Wine profiles, locations, bottle events, tasting notes, local photos, and backups are not included. We use submitted information only for support, defect investigation, abuse prevention, and app improvement.
Photos and Selected Screenshots
CellarSlate can access only images you explicitly select with Apple's system photo picker. Wine and tasting photos are re-encoded as JPEG without location or camera metadata and remain local inside the ledger backup. Feedback screenshots are uploaded only while you submit a report; partially uploaded screenshots are deleted when submission fails, and unattached uploads are removed by the support service's cleanup policy.
Diagnostics and App Attest
CellarSlate includes no third-party analytics or advertising SDK. When you enable diagnostics for optional feedback, they contain only the app version and build, iOS version, device model, and locale. App Attest supplies app and device integrity evidence for feedback abuse prevention and is not used for cross-app tracking.
Paid App Store Download
CellarSlate is a USD 0.99 paid App Store download, with Apple-equivalent prices in other regions. Apple completes the purchase before installation. The app contains no in-app purchase, subscription, paywall, receipt, or transaction verification, so CellarSlate sends ApplyAI no purchase data.
Retention and Deletion
Local CellarSlate data remains until you clear the ledger, replace it with an imported backup, or remove the app. Individual immutable bottle events remain in history; corrections append linked reversal and replacement facts. Exported files remain wherever you chose to save them. Submitted feedback is kept only as reasonably needed to respond, investigate defects, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
Permissions
The core ledger requires no camera, contacts, location, microphone, notifications, full photo-library, or account access. Apple's system photo picker appears only when you choose a wine, tasting, or feedback image, so CellarSlate does not receive broad photo-library access.
Children
CellarSlate is a general-audience organization utility and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Policy Changes
We may update this policy when CellarSlate or its data practices change. The current version will remain available on this page with a revised update date.
