THE WAY WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Generally, information that you give to us is used to provide you with a product or service which you have requested from us (for example, if you have purchased wine from us). We will not use your information to market to you unless we have your implied or express consent. For example, if you purchased wine from us (or registered to do so), enquired about our products, attended an event we have run or been affiliated with or entered a promotion in relation to our products, we may imply your consent to receive marketing materials about those products, or other products or brands which we think you may be interested in. If you receive electronic communications from us, we will always provide you with an opportunity to unsubscribe from receiving further information from us by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in the communication. We may also use the information we collect from you when you use our websites (such as the areas of a website accessed by you and your IP address) to: administer our websites and to try and keep our websites safe and secure; help us gain a better understanding of your likes and dislikes so to improve our websites and the services we offer; allow you to participate in interactive features of our websites; and make suggestions and recommendations to you and other users of our websites about goods or services that may interest you or them. We may also share the cookie information we gather from our websites with our related companies for the above purposes.
