WINE INTELLIGENCE PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.wineintelligence.com (the “Site”). It complies with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the DPA (UK Data Protection Act) and the PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations).
Wine Intelligence is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain personal information when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement. In addition, Wine Intelligence will never sell your data to any third parties. From time to time we may have to share your data with a third party, expressly for the purpose of fulfilling the services and information you have asked us to provide. An example of this might be using a mailing fulfilment house to send you a copy of our WineIQ magazine. If this happens, the third party will be subject to the same obligations to keep your data secure and private, and only use it for the purpose you wish it to be used for.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
Additionally, we may collect personal data such as your name, company, job title, and contact information when you purchase a report in order to provide you with an invoice and track the popularity of our reports. In addition, we keep All Access Membership emails and passwords on hand in order to provide optimum customer service – such as email you when you have forgotten your password.
We may also collect personal data such as name, company, job title, email address, and country of location when you sign up to our mailing list. We use a third-party provider, HubSpot, to deliver our news and updates to those who request to be a part of our mailing list. Using these services, we gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our email communications. For more information, please see HubSpot’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails. You can also email Matthew Jenkins at matthew@wineintelligence.com with any questions or to request to be removed from our list.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and the additional information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We collect this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
- Internal record keeping.
- We may use the information to improve our products and services.
- We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided, but only if you give us explicit permission or we think it will be especially important to you.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk, and more generally to improve and optimise our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
