Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

By downloading, installing, or using the Sommie app, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, we recommend that you do not use the service. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of any updates to these terms.

Sommie is a virtual sommelier powered by artificial intelligence, offering personalized wine recommendations, intelligent food pairings, educational content about the wine world, and access to wine tourism experiences.

To provide these features, Sommie uses third-party artificial intelligence services, as described in detail in the Privacy Policy. The app also provides voice input and photo submission features to facilitate user interaction — these are described in full in Sections 3A and 3B of the Privacy Policy.

To use certain features of Sommie, you must create an account by providing accurate information, including your name, email address, date of birth, and consumption preferences. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

By using Sommie, you agree to use the app ethically and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, not to share offensive, false, defamatory, or illegal content, and to keep your login credentials confidential and secure.

When using the voice input and photo submission features, you declare that you hold all necessary rights over the content you submit and that such content does not infringe upon the rights of any third party. You also acknowledge that original audio recordings and images are processed locally and discarded immediately after conversion to text, as described in Sections 3A and 3B.

All content within Sommie — including but not limited to texts, images, logos, algorithms, AI models, and features — is the exclusive property of iTrois Tecnologia e Inovação. Reproduction, distribution, or modification of any content without prior written authorization is strictly prohibited.

iTrois reserves the right to update these Terms of Use and the app's features at any time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email with at least 15 days' advance notice. Continued use of the app after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

We collect the following categories of data to provide, maintain, and improve Sommie's services. All data collection is based on a lawful basis under the LGPD (Law 13.709/2018) and GDPR, as indicated below.

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

Data is never used for third-party advertising, marketing communications, or any purpose other than those listed above without explicit user consent.

To provide the virtual sommelier features, personalized recommendations, and intelligent food pairings, Sommie uses the Claude Sonnet language model, developed by Anthropic, PBC, accessed through the Amazon Bedrock platform, operated by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS).

What data is sent to the AI service

When you interact with the virtual sommelier, the following information may be transmitted to the AI model for processing:

How it works

When you use the voice input feature, audio is captured by your device's microphone and converted to text using automatic speech-to-text (STT) transcription technology. This conversion is performed locally on your device or on iTrois' own infrastructure, without sending the original audio to any third-party AI service.

What happens to the original audio

The original audio file is discarded immediately after transcription and is not stored on iTrois' servers, not shared with any third party, and not retained in any form. Only the transcribed text is retained for processing the sommelier's response.

What is shared with the AI

Only the text resulting from transcription — equivalent to what you would type manually — is sent to the third-party AI service (Claude Sonnet via AWS Bedrock) to generate the virtual sommelier's response.

Legal basis (LGPD / GDPR)

Voice data processing is carried out based on your express consent (Art. 7, I, LGPD / Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), requested when the voice feature is activated for the first time. You may revoke this consent at any time:

How it works

When you submit a photo, the image is processed by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, which extracts the textual content present in the image (such as wine label information, menu text, or product descriptions). This processing is performed locally on your device or on iTrois' own infrastructure, without sending the original image to any third-party AI service.

What happens to the original image

The original photo is discarded immediately after OCR processing and is not stored on iTrois' servers, not shared with any third party, and not retained in any form. Only the extracted text is retained for processing the sommelier's response.

What is shared with the AI

Only the text extracted by OCR technology — equivalent to what you would type manually when transcribing the image content — is sent to the third-party AI service (Claude Sonnet via AWS Bedrock) to generate the virtual sommelier's response.

Biometric and sensitive data

Legal basis (LGPD / GDPR)

Image processing is carried out based on your express consent (Art. 7, I, LGPD / Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), requested when the photo submission feature is activated for the first time. You may revoke this consent at any time:

In compliance with Apple App Store guidelines (5.1.1(i) and 5.1.2(i)), the following Privacy Nutrition Labels are declared for Sommie:

In accordance with the LGPD (Law 13.709/2018) and GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacidade@itrois.tech.

Managing Consents

Each consent can be managed independently in the app's privacy settings:

We adopt technical and administrative measures to protect your data in compliance with LGPD (Law 13.709/2018) and GDPR. Access to the AI service is performed through the Amazon Bedrock platform, which holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II security certifications, ensuring data protection during processing.

We retain data only as long as necessary for service provision or as required by applicable law.

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance navigation and the app experience, maintain session state, and analyze usage patterns. You can manage cookie preferences in your device settings. We do not use cookies for cross-site tracking or advertising purposes.

Sommie is intended for users 18 years of age or older, consistent with the legal drinking age in Brazil and most jurisdictions. Minors may only use Sommie under the supervision and with the consent of a legal guardian, who must accept these terms on behalf of the minor. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors without parental consent.

Use of Sommie's artificial intelligence features (virtual sommelier, personalized recommendations, and food pairings) requires your explicit consent to send data to the third-party AI service (Claude Sonnet via AWS Bedrock). This consent is requested upon first access to AI features.

Use of the voice input and photo submission features also requires specific and separate consent, requested upon first use of each feature. Each consent can be managed independently in the app's privacy settings.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or new features. Relevant changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email with at least 15 days' advance notice. Continued use of Sommie after notification of changes implies acceptance of the updated policy.
