This Privacy Policy details
What information we collect and why we collect it.
How we use that information.
The choices we offer, including how to access and update that information.
By submitting information to us and/or using our website (the "Site"), you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
Scope of Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies when you visit the Site, the websites of any of our affiliated brands, mobile sites, or mobile applications; when you make a purchase from us; subscribe to any of our mailing lists, newsletters, or wine-club programs; sign up for our events; register for our promotions; and when you engage with one of our brand pages on community websites including, but not limited to, Facebook or Instagram.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to our employees, employment applicants, suppliers, distributors, or trade contacts except when they are acting in a "customer" capacity. Also, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any data that may be collected through non-Winery sites, materials or entities, even when we may include links or references to those third party sites. (Unless otherwise stated, the inclusion of a link on the sites does not imply endorsement of the linked site by us or by our affiliates.) Any information we collect when you enable or use a third party application is processed under this Privacy Policy. Information collected by the third party is governed by their privacy policies and we have no control over, and shall not be responsible for, the third party's use of your personal information.
Information that We Collect from You
We may collect certain personally identifiable information ("personal information" or "personal data") from you, such as:
Name
User Name
Mailing and/or Shipping Addresses
Telephone number (including home and mobile phone numbers)
Date of Birth
Email Address
Credit and/or Debit Card Numbers
We may also collect other information that we request from you and that you provide to us. In many cases, such information will be collected directly from you but information may also be gathered from our associate brands, third-party sources such as marketing and fulfillment companies, opt-in lists, publicly available data, consumer reporting agencies, and other companies and referrals.
We may also collect certain information gathered from you passively through automated means ("other information"), such as the referring URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come to the Site, the country, state or province from which you access this Site, the pages of our Site that you viewed during your visit, and any search terms entered on our Site. We collect this information through cookies, web beacons, navigational and location data, and other technologies. A "cookie" is a text file that websites send to a visitor's computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A "web beacon," also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We also may use third-party website analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), that collect information about visitor traffic on our sites and mobile applications. You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of our website might not work without cookies. We may also use web beacons in emails and newsletters so that we know when such communications have been opened and to otherwise help us tailor our communications to you.
How We May Use Your Information
We use the information described above to process your requests and wine club orders; communicate with you about our products, services, offers, events and promotions, and offer you products and services we believe may be of interest to you; contact you if we have not heard from you in a while; allow you to send a message to a friend (by using this functionality, you are telling us that you are entitled to use and provide us with your friend's name and email address); to participate in sweepstakes, contests or similar promotions (some of these activities may be subject to additional rules, which you should read carefully); analyze trends and enhance our communications strategies with you; and to improve the quality of our online guest services.
We may also use this information for system administration to diagnose problems with our servers and software or to administer our site, to gather demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity on our site. We track visitors' traffic patterns throughout their online sessions, including which pages or specific URLs a visitor views while visiting our pages.
How We May Disclose Your Information
Your personal data or other information may be shared with and used by any of our other affiliated brands, for their direct marketing purposes, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
In certain cases, we may disclose your personal data to third parties under limited circumstances if we conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation, or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of our Winery, our customers, or the public.
We may also contract with other companies and individuals to perform certain functions and services, including processing, storing, tracking, and organizing information on our behalf. These third party service providers may have access to your personal data to perform their functions and to provide services to us.
In some cases we may partner with other companies and third parties that we've carefully chosen to enhance your customer experience, usually through co-branded partnerships, sweepstakes, contests, and wine club experiences. In such cases you will need to opt in with those third-party partners to enable them to market their or other selected third parties' products and services to you. You will have an opportunity to opt-out of those communications by unsubscribing from any third party communications you do not wish to receive subject to those third parties' privacy policies.
We may aggregate your personal data so that the aggregated information does not personally identify you or anyone else. If we combine any non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information as long as it is combined. We may collect, use, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.
Online Advertising and Tracking
We may use third-party advertising networks and work with companies that collect information about your online activities to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences. For example, you may see certain ads on this Site or other websites because we partner with Google and other similar companies to target our ads based on information we or they have collected, including information that was collected through automated means (such as cookies and web beacons).
You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests by editing or opting out of your Google Display Network ads' preferences at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. You can opt-out of receiving targeted ads on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads. To exercise your choices with respect to targeted advertising and tracking on your mobile device, we recommend you explore your options to reset, limit or turn off your advertising ID on your particular device.
