Last updated: September 26, 2026
CruvBot is the web crawler for Cruv, an app that helps people find wineries, tasting rooms, and wine events. Cruv is operated by CHATT SERVICES LLC. CruvBot reads public pages on winery websites so that listings in Cruv show the right address, website, visiting hours, and events.

What CruvBot Reads
CruvBot reads the public pages a visitor would use to plan a trip: the home page and pages about visiting, hours, tastings, locations, contact details, and events. From those pages it uses facts only, such as the business name, visitor address, phone number, website, public visiting hours, what visitors can do there, and upcoming events.
What CruvBot Does Not Do
- It does not sign in, fill out forms, or get past captchas or paywalls.
- It does not disguise itself or retry under another name when a site blocks it.
- It does not copy photos, logos, or written descriptions.
- It does not collect personal information such as staff names or email addresses.
How Often It Visits
CruvBot requests one page at a time from a site and pauses between requests. Events pages are checked about once a week. Other pages are checked about once a month or less.
How To Limit Or Block CruvBot
CruvBot follows robots.txt, including rules written for all crawlers. To block it from your whole site, add this to your robots.txt file:
User-agent: CruvBot
Disallow: /CruvBot reads your robots.txt fresh each time it visits your site and never relies on a copy more than a day old, so a change applies on its next visit.
