Not affiliated

seemy.beer is an independent price tracker. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, approved by or connected to the operators of PerfectDraft, or to any brewery, brand or retailer listed on this site.

Trade marks

PerfectDraft, and all beer, brewery, product and retailer names and logos referenced on this site, are the trade marks of their respective owners. They are used here for identification purposes only, to say which product a price refers to. No endorsement or association is claimed or implied.

Prices and availability

Price and stock information is collected automatically. The full product list is checked roughly every two hours, each keg's own page is read about as often, and some kegs are checked more frequently. It may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Historical prices are shown as recorded at the time and may not reflect what was actually available.

It is provided for information only and is not an offer to sell. Always confirm the current price and availability with the retailer before purchasing.

Beer metadata

Brewery, style, ABV and country information comes from a separate catalogue that is compiled by hand and bundled at build time. It can be wrong or missing, and it is not sourced from the retailer.

Drinking responsibly

This site is for people aged 18 and over. If you would like information or advice about alcohol, Drinkaware is a good place to start.

Reporting a problem

The "Report a problem" control sends your message along with technical details about the page: build version, market, product, filters, screen size, browser, and when the price data was last collected. You can see all of it before you send. No cookies are read and none are sent.

Please do not include personal details. There is no account system and no way to reply, so anything identifying you serves no purpose and will not be used.

Reports go into our private issue tracker so we can fix what you have told us about, and are kept there as a record of the fix. They are not published.

Your message, and the market and product it is about, are also sent to Anthropic's Claude API. It does two things: it checks whether the same problem has already been reported, so that everything about one fault stays together, and it writes a short title for the report so we can tell at a glance what it is about. The technical details listed above are not sent there. Nothing is shared with anyone else.

If you have accidentally included personal details, email [email protected] and we will remove the report. If you would rather email in the first place, that address reaches the same person.

Who controls your data

The data controller is Brett Jenkins, a sole trader trading as TidyLabs, of 52-56 Standard Road, London, NW10 6EU. A trading name cannot be a controller, so this names the person rather than the brand.

This notice covers tracker.seemy.beer only. The TidyLabs privacy policy at tidylabs.co.uk/privacy covers everything true of the controller whichever site you use: your rights, how to complain, how long things are kept and where data goes. What is below is only what is specific to the tracker.

What this site collects

Almost nothing, and that is worth saying plainly rather than burying. There are no accounts here. We never ask for your name or your email address, there is nothing to sign up for, and there are no price alerts or watchlists, so nothing personal is ever attached to a keg you looked at.

Very little, and that is worth saying plainly rather than burying. There are no accounts here. We never ask for your name or your email address, and there is nothing to sign up for. If you choose to use restock alerts, we keep what is needed to send them, set out under Restock alerts below. Otherwise nothing personal is ever attached to a keg you looked at.

The age check asks for your date of birth, but only to do the sum. It is thrown away immediately and never stored. What is kept is that the check passed, and when.

Cloudflare, who host this site, process standard request logs including your IP address so pages can be served and the site kept secure. Our visitor statistics are Cloudflare’s, which set no cookies and do not fingerprint or follow anyone between sites. Our lawful basis for both is legitimate interests: running a working, un-attacked website and knowing roughly how many people use it.

Cookies

Two, both about the age check, neither for advertising. smb-age records that you passed it, for 12 months if you tick the box and until you close the browser if you do not. smb-age-block records for 24 hours that an under-18 date was entered.

Both are set for the whole of seemy.beer rather than just this site, which is deliberate: pass the check here and you are not asked again on the codes board, and the other way round. That sharing is the one thing that genuinely crosses between the sites. Nothing else does.

There is nothing else. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking and no fingerprinting, which is why there is no consent banner to click through.

Who else sees anything

Cloudflare hosts the site and sees your IP address because they serve the page. Google serves the two fonts this site is set in, which means your browser contacts Google to fetch them and Google sees your IP address as a result. Nothing about what you do here is sent to them.

Nobody else. Nothing is sold on, and there are no advertising networks. Where the data goes once it leaves the UK, and the safeguards relied on, are set out in the TidyLabs privacy policy.

Restock alerts

Restock alerts are optional. If you use them, we keep a list: the kegs you are watching and the devices that can see and change it. There is still no account, and we never ask for your name or email address.

Each device on a list holds its own key, a long random code kept in that browser. We keep only a scrambled form of it that cannot be turned back into the key. For each device we also keep whether it receives notifications or only manages the list, the kind of browser and device it is from a short fixed list (for example “Firefox on Mac”), whether it is an app on your home screen, when it was added and the day it was last used. You can give a device a name of your own. If you do, we keep it as you typed it and show it only to the devices on your list, so choose something you are happy for us to hold. We do not keep your IP address or the technical description your browser sends about itself with your list.

For a device that receives notifications, your browser also gives us a push subscription: an address its notification service uses to deliver a message, and two keys we use to encrypt what we send so that only your browser can read it. We keep a rough label for which notification service it is, since when it has received notifications, and when a notification last got through. For each keg you watch we keep the keg, which PerfectDraft shop it is in, whether to tell you once or every time, and when you added it. If you ask to hear about new kegs, we also keep which PerfectDraft shops you chose (or that you chose any of them) and when you chose each.

To add a device, one of your devices shows a short code. We keep only a scrambled form of it, and delete it within a day of it expiring, used or not.

You can delete things yourself in two ways, from the My Alerts page on any of your devices. Removing a device deletes everything we hold about that device, including its key, its push subscription and its name, and the rest of your list carries on. Deleting everything removes the whole list: every keg, every device and every unused code. Both take effect straight away. Stopping a keg stops it for all your devices, and a one-off alert is removed once it has been sent.

We also delete things without being asked. If a notification service tells us a push subscription no longer exists, we delete it, and that device stays on your list without notifications. If nothing happens on a list for 12 months (no alert gets through, none of its devices is used and nothing is changed), we delete the whole list. We keep a short record that an alert was sent and whether it arrived, so we can tell when something is broken. It holds no address, key or name, cannot be linked to you once the device is removed, and is deleted after 12 months.

Sending an alert means your browser’s notification service, run by Apple, Google or Mozilla depending on your browser, sees that a message was sent to your device, though not what it says. Starting a list or adding a device also runs the same Cloudflare check (Turnstile) used elsewhere on this site, which sees your IP address.

Our lawful basis is your consent, which you give by turning alerts on and can withdraw at any time by stopping them or deleting your list.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict what we do with it, or to object to it. The full list, and how to exercise them, is in the TidyLabs privacy policy. Email [email protected] and we will answer within a month.

There is a genuine catch and it is better said than hidden: this site holds no name, no email address and no account, so for practically everybody there is simply nothing here that is identifiably yours to find. The law does not require us to start collecting more data in order to go looking.

There is a genuine catch and it is better said than hidden: this site holds no name, no email address and no account. If you use restock alerts, your list is yours to see and delete from the My Alerts page on any of your devices. If you have lost every device on a list we have no way to tell which list was yours, and it will be deleted automatically after 12 months with nothing happening. The law does not require us to start collecting more data in order to go looking.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled something you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113. You can do that without asking us first, though we would rather you gave us the chance to put it right.

Restock alerts

If you asked to be told when a keg is back in stock, this deletes all of it: every keg you are watching and every device linked to your alerts. To take just this device off, use your restock alerts instead.

Getting in touch

If you own a trade mark referenced here, if something on this site is wrong, or for anything about your data, email [email protected] and it will be looked at.
