This Statement of Privacy applies to the VinoFlash Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the VinoFlash website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

VinoFlash collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. VinoFlash also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by VinoFlash. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by VinoFlash for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the VinoFlash Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through VinoFlash public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: VinoFlash does not read any of your private online communications.

VinoFlash encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from VinoFlash so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. VinoFlash is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the VinoFlash and VinoFlash family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

VinoFlash collects and uses your personal information to operate the VinoFlash Web site and deliver the services you have requested. VinoFlash also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from VinoFlash and its affiliates. VinoFlash may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

VinoFlash does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. VinoFlash may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, VinoFlash may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to VinoFlash, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

VinoFlash does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

VinoFlash keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within VinoFlash, in order to determine what VinoFlash services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within VinoFlash to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

VinoFlash Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on VinoFlash or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of VinoFlash; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of VinoFlash, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The VinoFlash Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize VinoFlash pages, or register with VinoFlash site or services, a cookie helps VinoFlash to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same VinoFlash Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the VinoFlash features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the VinoFlash services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

VinoFlash secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. VinoFlash secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

VinoFlash will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. VinoFlash encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how VinoFlash is protecting your information.
