About MyWineAssistant
MyWineAssistant is a revolutionary wine management service that combines many of
the features found in other Wine Management Services and Applications. Our
original goal was to create a Wine Management Service that is easy to use,
feature-rich, and affordable. The recent release of MyWineAssistant 3.0
confirms our commitment to these goals and asserts our position as a leader in
the Wine Management business.
Our latest release utilizes the latest Microsoft AJAX technology resulting in an
application that is both easy to use and incredibly functional.

Software as a Service (SaaS)
If you're not familiar with the phrase "Software as a Service," we will take
just a moment to explain the concept. Traditionally, software has been thought
of as stand-alone applications that you purchase or download and install on you
local PC. In recent years many software companies have started to rethink this
model and replace is with the Service model in which consumers pay a
subscription fee to access software via the web browser.
Benefits of Software as Service
Backups: Many users fail to backup software before it is too late.
According to RBS, Inc, 6% of all PCs will suffer data loss in a given year and
31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their
control. Our service features regular backups so you don't have to worry about
your data.
Access Anywhere: With a service you will have access to your data from
any computer or Internet-enabled mobile phone.
Immediate Updates: With a service you'll never have to update your
software. You will always enjoy the latest features as soon as they're
available. Furthermore, problems are typically resolved much faster without the
need to build and release installable software.
Community: A service allows us to provide community features that aren't
available in most software applications. Even if you don't plan to communicate
with other users, you will have access to reviews, ratings, and data to help
improve your experience.
Privacy
At MyWineAssistant your privacy is one of our primary concerns. We have
dedicated ourselves to protecting your privacy by implementing the following
policies.
Sharing of Information: We will never share your information with any
third party without your consent. Exceptions include integrated vendors such as
Global Wine Stocks for wine valuations.
Limited Data: We have designed our system to house as little identifying
data as possible. You don't even have to give us your name or address! We
believe that websites gather too much information about their customers and we
have made great efforts to limit the amount of information we require.
No Financial Data: We have partnered with PayPal, a trusted payment
processing service. We store no financial information (bank / credit card) on
our servers.
Community: You can participate in our community without ever revealing
your true identity. This is especially important to users who have substantial
wine collections and are concerned about security.

Testimonials
"I have found MyWineAssistant [MWA] to be an excellent product and is
delivering everything I had hoped for. One of the best features of MWA is the
ongoing updates, which is something you don't get with a software product. I
also like the user forum where you can get updated information on a range of
topics and the opportunity to converse with others interested in wine. I started
as a free user but have since become a subscribing member because the product is
so good. I would recommend MWA to anyone interested in wine." -

"I have tried a few different programs over the years and I think I will
sound like I am part owner, but I will live with that. The system is so simple
compared to others I am familiar with. [MyWineAssistant] has simplified entries
and is fulfilling all the things I have hoped for." -

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install MyWineAssistant on my PC?
No, MyWineAssistant is strictly an online service. We have chosen this model
because it provides us with many benefits over traditional stand-alone
applications. See the tab "SaaS" for more information.
How can I be sure my data is secure and will not disappear?
We believe that your data is our primary mission and responsibility. We also

own data by generating a cellar report. Furthermore, we offer backup features
that can automatically send you an export via email weekly, monthly, quarterly,
or yearly.
What does paying for a subscription get me?
A subscription will get you full and unlimited access to our service.
