What Personal Information About Customers Does GoodWine4Less.com Gather?

The information we learn from our customers helps us personalize and systematically improve your shopping experience at GoodWine4Less.com. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our store’s features. We use the information that you provide to us for such purposes as responding to your requests, improving future shopping for you, adding new features to our store, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information: We receive and store various types of information whenever you shop with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses GoodWine4Less.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at GoodWine4Less.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

E-mail Communications: From time to time, we will send you notices about product offerings, sales, or other promotions. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please let us know.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and for storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of GoodWine4Less.com's store features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Does GoodWine4Less.com Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries that GoodWine4Less.com controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.

We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.  It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Which Information Can I Access?

GoodWine4Less.com gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with us for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

What Choices Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase.

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Customer Preferences. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

Children and Adults under the age of 21

GoodWine4Less.com does not sell alcoholic beverage products for purchase by children or adults under the age of 21. We sell wine, champagne, and other alcoholic beverage products for purchase by adults over the age of 21. If you are under 21, you may not use GoodWine4Less.com to order alcoholic beverages.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions

If you choose to visit GoodWine4Less.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Illinois. If you have any concern about privacy at GoodWine4Less.com, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
