Who we are

Rooster Beer LLC is a brand management and marketing company for craft beer products. We operate this website (rooster.beer) and do not sell alcohol directly in the U.S.

Contact: office@rooster.beer

What we collect

• Basic website logs for security and diagnostics (IP address, user-agent, timestamps, URLs).
• Voluntary contact data if you email us (name, email, message contents).
• Age-verification preference stored locally in your browser (localStorage) to remember that you confirmed you are 18+ / 21+.

We do not knowingly collect special-category data. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Cookies & local storage

We use minimal client-side storage solely to support mandatory age gating for alcohol-related content:

• localStorage["ageGate"] — stores a boolean and an expiration timestamp to remember your age confirmation. Default retention: 30 days.

You can clear this at any time via your browser settings (clear site data / local storage). If we add analytics or additional cookies in the future, this policy will be updated and an on-site notice will be shown.

How we use your data

• Operate, secure and improve the website.
• Respond to your inquiries.
• Comply with applicable laws and enforce our terms.

We do not sell your personal information.

Legal bases (GDPR)

• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): running a secure, age-appropriate website.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): where required, e.g., optional analytics or marketing (none active at this time).
• Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): responding to messages you send us.

Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA/UK, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and data portability. To exercise rights, email office@rooster.beer. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Data retention

Local age-verification is retained for up to 30 days. Server logs are retained for a limited period necessary for security and troubleshooting, then deleted or anonymized.

Children
