Privéfolio is a personal wine collection companion designed for people who appreciate the wines they collect and the experiences they share.
Keep track of your wines, organise them into meaningful collections, and invite friends or fellow wine enthusiasts to enjoy a shared collection with you.
Whether you're building a personal cellar, keeping a record of memorable bottles, or sharing your collection with people who appreciate wine, Privéfolio brings everything together in one place.
Every bottle has a story. Keep yours organised.
Build a personal catalogue of the wines in your collection. Record essential details such as:
Wine name and producer
Vintage
Wine type
Region and country
Other available wine details
Browse and manage your wine records in one convenient place. Your collection becomes easier to explore, maintain and appreciate as it grows.
Bring your wines together with purpose.
Collections let you organise wines into separate groups that reflect how you collect and enjoy them.
Create collections for different occasions, regions, producers or personal interests. Keep a collection for yourself or share it with other Privéfolio members.
Each collection provides a shared space where its wines can be viewed and managed according to the members' assigned roles.
A shared collection is better when everyone knows their place.
Invite other Privéfolio users to join a collection using an invitation or joining code.
Collection owners can manage membership and determine how others participate. Depending on the collection's joining settings, a joining request may be accepted automatically or remain pending until the owner responds.
Privéfolio currently supports three collection roles:
Owner
The person responsible for the collection. Owners have full collection management rights, including managing its wines and memberships.
Contributor
Can contribute their own wines to a shared collection. Contributors cannot edit or delete wines belonging to other members.
Member
Can view the shared collection and its wines without making changes.
Membership statuses help make access clear:
Pending — A joining request is awaiting a decision.
Accepted — The member has been admitted to the collection.
This gives collection owners a straightforward way to manage participation while allowing members to understand their permissions.
Privéfolio uses your Apple iCloud account for its CloudKit services.
Make sure you are signed in to iCloud on your Apple device. When you first launch the app, Privéfolio checks your iCloud availability and guides you through setting up your profile.
Choose a display name and avatar so other members can recognise you when you participate in shared collections.
Start building your wine catalogue by adding wines and recording their details.
You can organise your wines into collections as your catalogue develops and a wine can be part of several collections to facilitate sharing,

Share your collection's joining code with people you want to invite.
Depending on the collection's joining settings, their request may be accepted automatically or require the owner's approval.
Once accepted, members can access the collection according to their assigned roles.

Yes. Privéfolio relies on Apple's iCloud and CloudKit services. You must be signed in to iCloud on your Apple device to use the app's cloud features. With the iCloud account, you can also opt to be notified if a new wine is added in a collection.
Privéfolio uses Apple's CloudKit service to store and synchronise app records. The current implementation uses CloudKit's public database for profiles, wines, collections and membership information.
Apple's iCloud infrastructure and your Apple account settings govern the underlying cloud service.
A personal collection is intended for your own organisation within the app. Shared collections are designed to be accessed by their participating members.
However, Privéfolio currently uses CloudKit's public database. Membership roles determine the actions and information presented through the app, but they should not be treated as a guarantee of private, record-level access to the underlying cloud records.
Do not use Privéfolio to store confidential information or information that you would not want exposed through the current public-database architecture.
Privéfolio is designed to help you organise your wine collection while making shared collection participation understandable.
We aim to handle your information responsibly and to be transparent about how the app works.
Privéfolio uses Apple's CloudKit infrastructure for its cloud-based app data.
The app relies on your Apple iCloud account for access to these services. Your profile, wine, collection and membership records are stored through CloudKit.
Privéfolio uses Apple's on-device Sensitive Content Analysis technology to help identify potentially sensitive images, such as those containing nudity or graphic content.
When a potentially sensitive image is detected, a warning may be displayed to help you make an informed decision before viewing or sharing the image. The exact warning behaviour depends on your device's settings.
Image analysis takes place on your device, and neither Privéfolio nor Apple receives the image or the sensitive-content detection result for the purpose of this analysis.
This feature provides an additional layer of awareness but may not identify every sensitive image. Users can still report inappropriate images using the Report Photo option, whether or not a warning has been displayed.
When you join a shared collection, information associated with that collection may be visible to its participating members.
Your role determines what you can do within the app:
Owners manage their collections and memberships.
Contributors can add their own wines.
Members have view-only access through the app.
Only join collections from people you recognise and trust. Share joining codes thoughtfully.
Privéfolio uses Apple's CloudKit infrastructure and its security mechanisms to store and manage information in the cloud. Together with Privéfolio's app-level membership permissions, these mechanisms support access to shared collection information according to each member's assigned role.
As Privéfolio uses Apple's public cloud database, please avoid storing sensitive, confidential or personally identifiable information in the app. Users should not store sensitive, confidential or personally identifiable information in the cloud database.
Please ensure that information and images you add to Privéfolio are yours to use or that you have permission to share them.
When participating in shared collections, respect the contributions and ownership of other members. Do not attempt to modify, misuse or distribute another member's information without permission.
Privéfolio is a collection management tool, not a recommendation to consume alcohol. Please enjoy wine responsibly and follow the applicable laws and age restrictions wherever you live.
We're happy to hear from you.
