For specific information for California residents, please refer to the Information for California Residents section below.

For such inquiries, please contact us as detailed under the Contact Us heading below. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable and as required by applicable law.

Security of Your Information

We take commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information, including generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us during transmission and once we receive it. When you provide us sensitive information (e.g., credit card number), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”) or similar technology. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please contact us immediately as detailed under the Contact Us heading below.

Links to Other Websites

Our Services may contain links to other websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us, including but not limited to links to websites of our advertisers, sponsors, and partners.

We are not responsible or liable for the privacy or business practices of any third-party websites linked to our Services.

If you reside in California, we are required to provide additional information to you about how we use and disclose your Personal Information, and you may have additional rights regarding how we use your Personal Information pursuant to state-specific laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), the California Online Privacy Act (“CalOPPA”), and the “Shine the Light” law, codified in § 1798.83 of the California Civil Code (collectively, the “CA Privacy Laws”). Please see more information regarding the CA Privacy Laws below:

CCPA. Consistent with the Information We Collect section above; we collect certain categories and specific pieces of information about individuals that are considered “Personal Information” in California (“CA Personal Information”). For clarity, CA Personal information does not include:

Publicly available information from government records.
Deidentified or aggregated consumer information.
Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, like health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data;
personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

As described in the Information We Collect section above, we may collect CA Personal Information from you and other third parties. We collect, share and disclose CA Personal Information for the business and commercial purposes described in the Use of Information and Sharing of Information sections above.

Subject to certain exceptions, as a California resident, you have the right under the CCPA to (i) access your CA Personal Information; (ii) obtain deletions of your CA Personal Information; (iii) receive information about the CA Personal Information about you that we have “sold” (as such term is defined under California law) to third parties within the past twelve (12) months; and (iv) opt-out of the “sale” of your CA Personal Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as described in the Use of Information section above, we have not sold and do not sell your CA Personal Information under any circumstances through your use of the Services.

Additional information regarding your rights, and the process by which you may exercise them, are more fully described below:

Access and Portability Rights. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
- If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
- sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
- disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
- Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
- Exercise free speech and/or ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.);
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent;
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
- Comply with a legal obligation; and
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Your Access, Portability, and Deletion Rights. To exercise the access, data portability, opt out, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us as described in the Contact Us section below.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Timing and Format of Our Response. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

CalOPPA. Our Services and this Privacy Policy are provided in accordance with CalOPPA. We collect, use, and share your information as described in the Information We Collect, Use of Information, and Sharing of Information sections above, respectively.

Shine the Light. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, if you are a California resident who provides Personal Information in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use, you may request to opt-out of such sharing by a winery at no-cost by following the instructions in the Your Choices and Your Rights sections above, or by contacting us as described in the Contact Us section below. Please be aware that your opt-out request will apply only to the sharing by that particular winery.

Exercising Other California Consumer Rights and Non-Discrimination. Should you wish exercise any other rights in addition to those detailed above with regard to your Personal Information, we will not discriminate against you with a different level or quality of products, based solely upon this request. Please see the Contact Us section below if you have questions or would like to exercise such rights.
