Privacy policy
Last updated 28 October 2026
Who we are
Liquor Scanner is operated by DM Enterprises Limited (company number 8633508, NZBN 9429051159702), a company registered in New Zealand. This policy explains what personal information we collect through the Liquor Scanner app and website, why we collect it, who we share it with, and how you can access, correct or delete it.
We handle your personal information in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. If you have a question about this policy, email support@liquorscanner.co.nz.
Who this service is for
Liquor Scanner is an 18+ service. It compares liquor prices across New Zealand stores and lets you order alcohol for pickup or delivery from Counties Inn Liquor Centre (Avtar Singh & Sons Pvt Limited). You must be 18 or over to use it. The person who collects or receives an order is checked for ID and must be 18 or over, whoever placed the order.
Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account we collect your email address and a password. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider, Supabase, and we never see or store your raw password. If you sign in with Apple, Apple gives us a verified email address and a unique identifier for your account.
Location
If you allow it, we use your device's approximate location to show nearby stores and sort prices by distance. You can say no and still use the app. If you save a location, such as a suburb or postcode, we store it with your account. We don't sell location data or share it with advertisers.
Order information
When you place an order we collect your name and phone number, your delivery address if you choose delivery, the items in your order, your account email, and your confirmation that you and the person receiving the order are 18 or over. The store fulfilling your order receives this information so it can prepare, hand over or deliver the order.
Payment information
Card details are entered on our payment provider's secure payment page and processed by that provider. Liquor Scanner does not see, collect or store your full card number, expiry date or security code. We keep a record of each payment's status and amount, and a reference to it, so we can confirm and refund orders.
Pickup and delivery records
Staff check photo ID before handing over a pickup order. For deliveries, the driver records the recipient's name, that photo ID was sighted, and a signature. We do not copy or store images of your ID. These records exist because the law requires age to be confirmed when alcohol is handed over.
Search and preference data
We store your recent searches and any products you watch or favourite so the app can show them back to you.
This website
This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, for security and to keep the site running.
What we don't collect
The app does not use third-party analytics or advertising tracking. We don't track you across other companies' apps or websites, and we don't build advertising profiles. The camera is only used to scan a barcode at the moment you choose to scan. No photo or video is stored or sent to us.
Why we collect it
We use your information only to:
- run your account and let you sign in,
- show you accurate, nearby prices,
- take, fulfil and support your orders, including legally required age checks,
- take payments and make refunds,
- answer support requests, and
- meet our legal obligations as part of selling an age-restricted product, such as keeping sales records.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Who we share it with
- Counties Inn Liquor Centre (Avtar Singh & Sons Pvt Limited), the store that sells and supplies your order, receives your name, phone number, delivery address and order details.
- Supabase hosts our database and handles sign-in.
- Our payment providers process payments and refunds: Windcave for card payments, and Stripe as a backup card processor. If bank payments are offered in the app, they are processed by Qippay. Each provider receives only what it needs to process the payment.
- Our delivery partner receives the delivery address, your name, phone number and order details so the driver can deliver the order and record the handover.
Some of these providers may store information outside New Zealand. We only use providers that protect personal information to a standard comparable to the Privacy Act 2020. We don't share your information with anyone else unless the law requires it.
How long we keep it, and deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time in the app under Settings. When you do:
- your login is permanently removed,
- your saved searches, watchlist and saved locations are permanently deleted,
- your past orders are kept but anonymised: we remove your name, phone number, email and the link to your account, and keep the order itself (items, price, store and date) because sales records must be kept, and
- if you have an order that hasn't finished yet, for example one still being paid, refunded or delivered, deletion waits until that order is complete.
Otherwise we keep account and order information while your account is active, and for as long as needed afterwards to meet legal and accounting obligations.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, and raise a concern about how we handle it. Email support@liquorscanner.co.nz, or delete your account in the app. If you're not happy with our response, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
Under 18s
Liquor Scanner is not for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you think someone under 18 has an account, contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
