What to Contact Us About

We read every message sent to PlainAlcohol. The inbox sees a wide mix of traffic, and sorting mail correctly helps us respond faster. Good reasons to get in touch include: reporting a factual error in a specific record, asking how a metric is calculated, suggesting a new dataset or view we should add, letting us know a page is broken or slow, submitting a partnership or media proposal, or requesting quote permission for a news article. Researchers studying alcohol-producers are especially welcome to reach out about data-source questions, methodology clarifications, or academic collaborations.

Response Time

PlainAlcohol is solo-operated and actively monitors this inbox. We aim to respond to data-correction reports and straightforward questions within 72 hours on business days. Partnership inquiries, media requests, and longer research exchanges may take up to one week during busy periods. If your message is time-sensitive, a legal matter, a security concern, or a press deadline, please say so in the subject line and it will be prioritized accordingly.

Editorial Corrections Process

When you report a factual error, please include (a) the exact URL of the affected page, (b) the field or sentence you believe is wrong, (c) what the correct value should be, and (d) a link or citation to the official source. We verify against the TTB file, fix the DB/pipeline when the error is ours, and list material public-site changes on the public changelog. For data that originates from a government agency and is wrong upstream, we usually need to wait for the next TTB release. We do not remove accurate information just because it is unflattering; we will consider removal requests only where the information is materially inaccurate, outdated past its retention horizon, or subject to a legal right under applicable law.

Privacy and Legal Requests

For privacy-related requests (access, deletion, opt-out), please use privacy@plainalcohol.com - see our Privacy Policy for the full list of rights. For subpoenas, DMCA notices, or other formal legal correspondence, use legal@plainalcohol.com. Routing legal mail to the general inbox can delay our response; please use the dedicated addresses when the situation calls for them.
