I. General Statement on Privacy
Your privacy is important to us at K&M Wines. This Privacy Policy applies when you visit our website at kandmwines.com, make a purchase from us, or subscribe to our mailing list or wine club programs.
Online order information is collected via a SSL (Secured Sockets Layer), an industry security standard. This system not only protects personal information from potentially invasive third parties, but also allows us to consolidate and view information efficiently. Important details such as name, address, postal code, phone number, etc. are utilized to ensure adequate payment and shipping processes.
II. Information You Give Us
We use the personal information we collect for the purposes described in this Policy or otherwise disclosed to you on our website. For example, we may use your information to:
– Operate and improve our websites;
– Provide and deliver products and services, process and complete transactions and send you related information, including purchase confirmations, shipping alerts, invoices, updates, security alerts, recall notices and support and administrative messages;
– Maintain and administer your online account;
– Respond to your comments and questions and provide customer service; and
– Send you news and information about events, activities, offers, promotions, products and services offered by K&M Wines.
All the information you give us is completely private and used solely for order processing, shipping and providing customer support. If you give us permission to send you marketing emails then we use your email for that purpose, but never does that email get sold or distributed to any other web site or list.
You have the right to modify the personal information we have about you. You may access and change your personal information (including preferences about how we contact you) by contacting us.
III. Programs Used by K&M
K&M uses a Google tracking pixel to collect website and customer analytics; Mailchimp e-mail marketing platform to disseminate communication between the company and customers; and a Facebook tracking pixel to facilitate Facebook interactions. No information is shared with third parties from these platforms.
IV. Internet Use Related Information
We may also contract with third party marketing companies to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. They may collect non-personal information about your visits to our website, and your interaction with our products and services. They may also use non-personal information about your visits to this and other websites to target advertisements for goods and services. These targeted advertisements may appear on other websites that you visit. The anonymous information is collected through the use of Cookies and Web Beacons, which are industry standard. No Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) is collected in this process.
We may share your PII and non-personal information, including your name, address, email address and any transactions you conduct on our website or offline with us with a third party advertising partner and its service providers in order to deliver tailored advertising to you that match your interests when you visit our website as well as other websites. Our advertising partner will make the data that we provide anonymous so that no one else will receive your PII.
If you delete your Cookies, use a different browser, or buy a new computer, you will need to renew your opt-out choice.
V. Cookies
We use cookies on this website.
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We may send you cookies which may be stored on by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookies in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognize your computer when you visit our website, and to personalize our website for you.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.
VI. Security
We will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. We will never ask you for your password.
VII. Not Directed to Minors
Our site is not intended for people under the legal drinking age, and as a result, we will not knowingly collect information from minors in the United States or elsewhere with or without the consent of their parents or guardians.
