Privacy Notice
Your data, your browser
Last updated June 15, 2026
The short version
StateStoreEvents is an independent enthusiast tool. We aim to collect as little as possible: most of what you do here stays on your device.
- No account required. A display name is optional and stored locally.
- Notes, RSVPs, saved events, and tasting logs live in your browser's localStorage — not on our servers.
- Location is off by default. Auto check-in only watches your position after you explicitly opt in on an event page, and coordinates never leave the browser.
- 21+ age gate on entry.
Location
The "Auto check-in" feature on event pages can suggest checking in when you're within a configurable radius of the event address. It uses your browser's geolocation API, runs entirely client-side, and is only active while you have it enabled. You can turn it off at any time on the event page.
Presence at events
If you tap "I'm here now," we send an anonymous presence ping to a real-time service so other attendees can see a live count for that event. We don't store who checked in — pings are kept in memory and dropped when you leave.
Analytics
We use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages and features are useful. This typically includes page paths, referrer, coarse device and browser info, and country-level location derived from your IP. We do not set cross-site tracking cookies, do not sell data, and do not build advertising profiles.
You can opt out by enabling "Do Not Track" or a content blocker — we'll honor it.
Third parties
Maps and directions are powered by Mapbox; tile and route requests go directly to Mapbox and are subject to their privacy policy. Outbound links to Fine Wine & Good Spirits or other sites are governed by those sites.
