What Personal Information About Customers Does Idlecellars.com Collect?

Here are the types of information we gather.
Automatic Information.  For each visitor to our website, our server automatically recognizes information regarding the customer’s domain name (or that of the visitor’s access provider) and collects data about your server’s domain address. This information, known as an Internet Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you’re on the Web. When you request pages from idlecellars.com, our servers log your IP Address. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us, e.g., a search engine. Our server cannot automatically record your name or address.[1]
Information you give us.  We collect aggregate information regarding customer access or visit of the Site, and information volunteered by customers such as when you register and create an account with us, fill out orders, and communicate with us electronically.

 

How Does Idlecellars.com Use the Information it collects about Customers?

 

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling or renting it with any third party. However, if we choose to do so in the future, we will notify you.

 

We share customer information only on a limited basis such as described hereafter. We share it on a limited basis with agents we use from time to time to fulfill orders, deliver packages, send postal mail and e-mail, remove repetitive information from customer lists, analyze data, provide marketing assistance, process credit card payments, and provide customer service.
We use information about our customers for the specific purpose for which it was volunteered (e.g., purchase of a product).  In addition, if you supply us with your postal address online, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information regarding a new products, upcoming promotional offers or events.  Sometimes we also send offers to selected groups of Idle Cellars customers on behalf of other businesses.  When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address.    If you do not wish to receive such mailings and e-mail updates, or otherwise wish to remove your name from our list, please contact us at 1-707-343-8949 or by mail at:

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.  However, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

 

In case Idle Cellars or substantially all of its assets are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of a merger, sale, consolidation or liquidation, customer information may be one of the transferred assets.
