INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS
Interest based advertising (also known as online behavioral advertising) occurs when advertisements are displayed to you based on information collected from your online interactions over time and across multiple websites that you visit, or across multiple devices or online services that you may use. Companies that engage in interest-based advertising use this information to predict your preferences and show you ads that are most likely to be of interest to you.
Some of the content, applications, and tracking technologies on our Site is controlled by third parties, which include ad tech companies or other online service providers that serve interest-based advertisements. We do not control these third parties' collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way.
You may still see “contextual” ads even if you opt out of interest-based ads. These ads, however, are based on the context of what you are looking at on the websites and pages you visit. Even if you opt out of interest-based ads you will still receive these contextual ads.
When you visit our Site, log in, register or open an email, cookies, ad beacons, and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with information they or others have about you, including your email address. We, or service providers on our behalf, may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout. In addition, some of our advertising partners enable us to translate your email address or phone number into an identifier that can't be used to identify you personally. Our advertising partners then use that unique identifier to show ads that are more relevant to you across the web.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain, including appropriate technical, administrative, and physical measures designed to protect information from unauthorized or illegal access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. When you make an online purchase on the Site, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software to protect your personal information. SSL software encrypts the personal information that is transmitted between you and our Site. We do not share your payment information with any third party except our payment processing provider for the purpose of processing your payment. To the extent we store any of your payment information, it is in a tokenized form, passed While we strive to secure the information we collect, even reasonable security measures do not guarantee the security of information transmitted via the Internet. We cannot guarantee that information we seek to protect will be protected under all circumstances, including those beyond our reasonable control. You acknowledge and agree that you transmit information to us via our Site at your own risk. Additionally, if you share emails you receive from us with others, you may be unintentionally sharing your personal information contained in these emails with such parties, and you acknowledge that you will be sharing it at your own risk. You also play an important role in protecting your information. It is your responsibility to select a strong password, change it regularly, not reuse or share your password, and alert us if you have any concerns about unauthorized use of your account.
COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES
You may unsubscribe from our promotional emails or text messages at any time by following the instructions included in those communications. If you opt out of receiving emails, please allow up to ten (10) business days for the unsubscribe to take place. During that time, you may continue to receive emails from us that were already in process. Please note that even if you opt out, we may continue to contact you regarding your order, your participation in a Wine Program, your gift purchase or other transactions you initiate or initiated, or to respond to any inquiry or request you make to us.
DATA RETENTION AND ACCOUNT DEACTIVATION
Our retention periods for personal data are based on business needs and legal and compliance requirements. We retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the data was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose. For example, we may retain certain transaction details and correspondence until the time limit for claims arising from the transaction has expired. When we no longer need to use your personal data, it is anonymized so that you can no longer be identified from it or it is removed from our systems and records.

From time to time, we offer financial incentives. For example, we may provide discounts or other benefits to customers who sign up to receive our marketing emails or text messages. When you participate in a financial incentive, we collect personal data from you, such as identifiers like your name, email address and telephone number. You can opt-in to a financial incentive by following the sign-up instructions, and you have the ability to opt out of the program by following the opt-out instructions. In some cases, we may provide additional terms and conditions for a financial incentive, which we will provide to you when you sign up. The value of your personal data is reasonably related to the value of the offer or discount presented to you.
