Said plainly, because the rest of this site is not.
What is kept
If you request an introduction: your name, your email, who sent you, the bottle you would bring, whether you answered the riddle, and when you wrote. Your network address is kept only as a one-way hash, to stop the form being abused.
If you are a member: your name for the roll, your email, who introduced you, when you joined, and whatever you choose to add to your profile: a photograph, a memorable bottle, a few lines, favourite regions, the bottle you would bring.
Who sees it
Introduction requests are read by the Keeper only. Profiles are visible only to signed-in members. Your email is seen by the Keeper, and by other members only if you allow it. Photographs are stripped of location and camera data when you upload them and are never shown outside the members’ pages, in emails, or to any other company.
What is not done
No advertising, no tracking cookies, no analytics, no selling or sharing. The only cookies keep you signed in and remember the riddle.
Leaving
A member can leave from their profile at any time; their profile, photograph, email and sign-ins are erased at once. Introduction requests that are not taken up are deleted after twelve months. To ask for anything to be removed sooner, write to the address below.
Age
Hidden Bottle is for people aged 21 and over.
