Privacy Policy

Barberry Garden (barberry.io) is a personal website run by Boris Buliga. This policy explains what data is collected and how it is used. The short version: we collect very little and don't share it with advertisers.

What we collect

Account data

If you create an account, we store your email address and a hashed password. Your account may be linked to a convive profile (public name, avatar) that you provide. This data is stored in our Supabase database and is used solely for authentication and site functionality.

Event registration

When you register for tasting events, we store your registration status (confirmed, waitlisted) and any related event data (e.g. settlement balances). This information is only visible to you and site administrators.

Cookies

We use essential cookies only. If you sign in, Supabase Auth sets session cookies to keep you logged in. These are strictly necessary for authentication and cannot be used to track you across other websites. We do not use any advertising or marketing cookies.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand how the site performs. These services collect anonymised, aggregated data (page views, web vitals) without setting tracking cookies or collecting personal information. No data is shared with third-party advertisers.

Third-party services

• Supabase — database and authentication. Your account data is stored on Supabase infrastructure.
• Vercel — hosting, analytics, and image storage (Vercel Blob).
• Google Fonts — web fonts (Inter, Cormorant Garamond) are loaded from Google's servers.
• Telegram — if you interact with our Telegram bot, your Telegram user ID may be stored for notification delivery. Admins receive notifications about registration events via Telegram.

Data retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account exists. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, contact boris@barberry.io.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Receive a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, email boris@barberry.io.

Changes

This policy may be updated occasionally. Significant changes will be noted on this page with an updated date.
