This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which The Wine Advisor collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the the-wine-advisor.com website ("Site"). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by The Wine Advisor.
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, subscribe to the newsletter, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, and phone number. Users may visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information only if voluntarily submitted. Users can always refuse to supply personally identifiable information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site-related activities.
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer, and technical information about Users' means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information.
Our Site may use "cookies" to enhance User experience. Your web browser places cookies on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about you. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.
The Wine Advisor may collect and use Users' personal information for the following purposes: to improve customer service (information you provide helps us respond to your requests more efficiently); to personalize user experience (we may use information in the aggregate to understand how our Users use the services and resources provided); to improve our Site (we may use feedback you provide to improve our products and services); and to send periodic emails (if you opt-in to our mailing list, you will receive company news, updates, and related information — you may unsubscribe at any time by contacting us).
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and data stored on our Site.
We do not sell, trade, or rent Users' personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information — not linked to any personal identification information — regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers for the purposes outlined above.
Users may find advertising or other content on our Site that links to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors, and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Site. These sites may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website is subject to that website's own terms and policies.
Ads appearing on our site may be delivered to Users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile non-personal identification information about you or others who use your computer. This privacy policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Some ads may be served by Google. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to Users based on their visit to our Site and other sites on the Internet. DART uses "non personally identifiable information" and does NOT track personal information such as your name, email address, or physical address. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
The Wine Advisor has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.
By using this Site, you signify your acceptance of this policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
