We may also use cookies. For an explanation, see the section on cookies below.


Use of IP Addresses and Cookies

We may collect information from your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report the aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our user’s browser actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

Cookies are small files which many web sites transfer to your hard disk. They can inform the web site what pages you visit, and your preferences, which enable web sites to improve their sites and to provide you with a more personalised service. They enable us to estimate our audience size and usage pattern; to store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual preferences; to speed up your searches and to recognise when you return to our site. Unless you complete the registration process, cookies do not contain any information that can be used to identify you. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to warn you before accepting them.

Love That Wine uses cookies, but most parts of our site can be accessed even if your cookies are turned off. But you may find there are parts of the site which you cannot access if your cookies are turned off. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.

How do we use your information?

We use your information to help us understand more about how our web site is used, to improve our site, and to send you information about us, both electronically or otherwise, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes. We will also use your information to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us; to allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, where you chose to do so and to notify you about changes to our service.

We may also use your data to provide you with information and services that may be of interest to you and we may contact you about these.

You may opt-in or opt-out of receiving such information at any time on request and/or by editing the mailing preferences in your personal profile.

When do we share information?

LoveThatWine will not disclose your personal information that you provide to us, including your email address, to any third party, other than in the exceptional cases laid out below. LoveThatWine may aggregate information from member profiles (known as demographic data) for the purposes of market research and share that information with third parties but no individual personal data will be disclosed in this process.
 
If Love That or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
 
If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Site Terms or Forum Agreement Terms and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Love That, our customers, or others.
 
Some of our products are hosted by third parties but we agree with those third parties that they will keep your information secure and not use it for other purposes.

Should you sign up for services that are managed or offered by other organizations, they will obtain your personally identifiable information.

A number of other people's web sites have links on our site. If you choose to link to their sites, they may collect information. Such sites are not within our control and are not covered by this privacy statement and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before submitting personal data to these websites.

If we believe that your use of the site is unlawful or damaging to others, we reserve the right to disclose the information we have obtained through the site about you to the extent that it is reasonably necessary in our opinion to prevent, remedy or take action in relation to such conduct.

Security

All personal and payment information (if relevant) is encoded using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology before being sent over the Internet. To protect your data further, your credit card information is always stored in encrypted form in a database that is away from our web site database, so it is not connected to the Internet. Credit card transactions are issued a digital certificate, ensuring that your data can only be read by our transaction system as long as your browser shows its secure mode symbol (such as a key or closed lock).

To make the most of the security on our site, we recommend using either Netscape Navigator® or Microsoft® Internet Explorer™ version 4.0 or higher, both of which enable SSL. We also recommend setting your browser's preferences to accept cookies and enable JavaScript™.

Age Suitability

As this site deals with wine, which according to UK law may only be purchased by persons over the age of 18, the content of this website is deemed to be for an adult audience, we do not and will not promote irresponsible consumption of alcohol, but are merely providing a website to swap information between members and guests to the website.
