Privacy Policy

We at Ithaca Wine Ventures LLC (“IWV,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have created this privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) because we know that you care about how information you provide to us is used and shared. This Privacy Policy relates to the information collection and use practices of IWV in connection with our online services, which are made available to you through a variety of platforms, including, but not limited to IthacaWineVentures.com and our other website (the “Websites”). The Websites are collectively referred to as the “Platform.”

Acceptance of Terms

By visiting our Platform, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in the Terms of Service.

The Information We Collect and/or Receive

In the course of operating the Platform and/or interacting with you, IWV will collect (and/or receive) the following types of information. You authorize us to collect and/or receive such information.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not collect any personal information from you, unless you provide such information voluntarily, such as by sending us an e-mail, filling out a form, completing a survey, entering a contest, or by registering for an Account. In order for you to take advantage of particular opportunities provided through the Platform (for example, to use the services we offer), we may require that you provide us with certain personal information such as name, date of birth, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Additionally, when you order from the Platform we may collect certain consumer information such as products ordered and relevant promotion codes, and delivery information such as an alternate contact, address, and telephone number in the event you are not available to accept delivery.

We may also collect personal information from you if you interact with us via our social media pages, such as through Instagram. Any such social media platforms are operated by the social networks themselves and are subject to their Terms of Service and privacy policies. If you use such third-party social media platforms, you are authorizing IWV to collect, store, and use, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, any and all information that you agreed that Facebook or such other third parties could provide to us through their application programming interface (“API”). Such information may include, without limitation, your first and last name, Facebook username, Facebook profile picture, unique Facebook identifier and access token, and e-mail address.

All information we collect and/or receive under this section is collectively called “Personal Information.”

GEOLOCATIONAL INFORMATION

Certain features and functionalities of the Platform may be based on your location. In order to provide these features and functionalities while you are using a mobile device, we may, with your consent, automatically collect geolocational information from your mobile device or wireless carrier and/or certain third-party service providers. Such information is collectively called the “Geolocational Information.” Collection of such Geolocational Information occurs only when the Platform is running on your mobile device. You may decline to allow us to collect such Geolocational Information, in which case IWV may not be able to provide certain features or functionalities to you.

BILLING INFORMATION

In order to submit orders through the Platform, you will be required to provide certain information in addition to the Personal Information noted above. Such information may include a debit card number, credit card number, billing address, and similar information (collectively, the “Billing Information”).

OTHER INFORMATION

In addition to the Personal Information, Geolocational Information, and Billing Information, we may automatically collect or receive additional information regarding you and your use of our Platform, your interactions with us and our advertising, as well as information regarding your computer or other devices used to access our Platform (collectively, the “Other Information”).

Third-Party Analytics

We, the Platform, and the third-party technology providers, ad exchanges, ad networks, advertisers, agencies, ad exchanges, and ad servers with which we work use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate your use of the Platform, compile reports on activity, collect demographic data, analyze performance metrics, and collect and evaluate other information relating to the Platform and mobile and Internet usage. These third parties use cookies and other technologies to help analyze and provide us the data.

The Information Collected by or Through Third-Party Advertising Companies

We may share Other Information about you with third parties for ad distribution and ad optimization (defined as the tailoring, targeting (i.e., behavioral, contextual, and retargeting), analyzing, managing, reporting, and optimizing of ads). These third parties may use cookies, pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear gifs), and/or other technologies to collect Other Information for such purposes. Pixel tags enable us and these third-party advertising companies to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser visits the site on which the pixel tag is located in order to learn which advertisement brings a user to a given site. In addition, we may receive Other Information from advertisers and/or their service providers such as advertising identifiers, IP addresses, and post-conversion data.
