The app may collect or store the following information:
App-generated information

Location preferences
BoozeSpy may store the region and area selected by the user, including a home location region and area if the user chooses to set one.
BoozeSpy does not collect precise GPS location unless this is added in a future version. Current location preferences are manually selected by the user.
