Terms & Privacy

The short version: there are no accounts, your progress lives on your device, and your name reaches our server only if you type it in to put it on a certificate.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Overview

Behind the Bar is an iOS game that teaches classic cocktail recipes and bar technique. It is published by Drobinin Limited, a company registered in Scotland under number SC786293 ("we", "us", "our"), which is the data controller for the purposes of this policy. This policy covers the Behind the Bar app for iPhone and iPad.

Data that stays on your device

  • Progress. The shifts you have passed, your stars, your settings and your reminder choice are stored on your device.
  • Motion. If you shake your device to shake a drink, the motion is read on the device to detect the shake. It is not stored or sent anywhere.
  • Reminders. If you allow them, reminders are scheduled on your device. We do not run a notification server for the game.

Data that leaves your device

  • Shift results. When you start and finish a shift, the app sends our server a random identifier created on your device, the shift number, and a record of the steps you took and their timing. We use it to check that the result is genuine and to keep scores. The identifier is not linked to your name, email or Apple ID.
  • Certificates. If you type your name into the app, it is sent to our server together with the result of the shift so we can issue a certificate. The certificate stores your name, the course or module, your score, the date and a certificate number. Anyone who has the certificate's link or number can view it. If you do not add a name, the certificate is issued without one.
  • Device check. The app uses Apple's App Attest service to confirm that results come from a genuine copy of the app on a genuine device. This shares a device-generated key with us and does not identify you.
  • Anonymous analytics. The app sends anonymised usage events (for example, "a shift was finished" or "a drink was sent back") to TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. These events carry no names, emails or certificate details and cannot be tied back to you. TelemetryDeck's own privacy policy is at telemetrydeck.com/privacy.
  • Purchases. The one-time purchase that unlocks the full course is processed by Apple. We never see your payment details.
  • Recipe updates. The app downloads the current recipe list from stirred.art. The request contains no personal data.

Our server runs on Netlify, which processes this data on our behalf.

Data we do not collect

  • No accounts, emails or passwords
  • No location, contacts or photos
  • No advertising identifiers and no cross-app tracking
  • No sale or sharing of personal data with third parties

Your choices

  • You can play without entering a name.
  • Notifications are optional and controlled in iOS Settings.
  • Deleting the app removes the progress stored on your device.
  • To have a certificate or the name on it removed from our server, email us the certificate number.

Age

Behind the Bar is about cocktails. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the legal drinking age in their country.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll note it here with a new date. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.

Terms of Use

This End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between you and Drobinin Limited, a company registered in Scotland under number SC786293 ("Drobinin Limited", "we", "us", "our"). It governs your use of the Behind the Bar application and any updates to it (the "App").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not use the App and delete it from your devices.

This Agreement is between you and Drobinin Limited only. Apple Inc. is not a party to it. Drobinin Limited, and not Apple, is responsible for the App and its content.

1. Licence

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Where those Usage Rules allow it, other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing may access the App on the same basis. The App is licensed to you; ownership of it is not transferred. We reserve all rights not expressly granted here.

2. Restrictions

You may not:

  • copy the App except as this Agreement or the Usage Rules permit;
  • rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the App;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits this despite the restriction;
  • remove or obscure any proprietary notice in the App;
  • submit scores or request certificates by any means other than playing the App, or interfere with the checks the App and our server use to confirm that a result is genuine;
  • extract, scrape, or bulk-copy the App's recipe data for use in another product or dataset;
  • use the App in breach of the App Store Review Guidelines, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, or the law where you are.

3. Purchases

The first shifts are free. The rest of the course is unlocked by a single one-time in-app purchase (the "Full Bartending Course"). It is not a subscription and does not renew.

  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
  • The purchase is tied to your Apple ID. You can restore it in the App on your other devices, and it can be shared through Family Sharing where Apple allows it.
  • The price is shown in the App before purchase and varies by territory.
  • Apple processes all payments and handles refunds under App Store rules at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds directly.

4. Certificates and scores

A certificate records that the named person completed a module or the full course in the App with the score shown. It is not a professional qualification, a licence to serve alcohol, or evidence of formal training, and it gives no right to work in any country. We may withdraw a certificate or a score that was obtained in breach of this Agreement. How the App handles the name on a certificate is set out in the Privacy Policy.

5. Drinking responsibly

The App teaches cocktail recipes and technique as a game. It gives no medical, dietary, or health advice. If you make these drinks, drink within the law where you are, and never drink and drive. Do not use the App if you are under the legal drinking age in your country.

6. Accuracy

Recipes, measures, and technique notes are supplied as-is and may differ from how a particular bar or book makes a drink. Check anything that matters, allergies above all, against a reliable source before you act on it.

7. Maintenance and support

Drobinin Limited is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App. Send support requests to legal@drobinin.com.

8. Warranty

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, and we disclaim all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Drobinin Limited is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Drobinin Limited's sole responsibility.

Nothing in this Agreement affects statutory rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived or limited under the law of your country of residence.

9. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the App. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for the App and its subscriptions in the twelve months before the claim arose.

We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Claims about the App

Drobinin Limited, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or to your possession or use of it, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to an applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.

11. Intellectual property

The App and everything in it belongs to Drobinin Limited or its licensors. If a third party claims that the App infringes their intellectual property rights, Drobinin Limited, and not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.

12. Legal compliance

You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that the U.S. Government has designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

13. Third-party terms

You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when you use the App.

14. Apple as third-party beneficiary

Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. On your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary of it.

15. Termination

This Agreement stays in force until it is terminated. Your licence ends automatically if you breach any of its terms. You may end it at any time by deleting the App from your devices. Sections 8 to 12, 14, 16, and this section survive termination.

16. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the law of Scotland, and disputes arising out of or in connection with it are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish courts. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections given to you by the law of your country of residence, and you may be entitled to bring proceedings there.

17. Changes

We may update this Agreement. The current version is always at stirred.art/game/terms/. Where a change is material we will note it with a new date at the top. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Agreement.
