What Personal Information About Customers Does Bannisterwines.com Collect?
Here are the types of information we gather.
Automatic Information: For each visitor to our website, our server automatically recognizes information regarding the customer’s domain name (or that of the visitor’s access provider) and collects data about your server’s domain address. This information, known as an Internet Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you’re on the Web. When you request pages from bannisterwines.com, our servers log your IP Address. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us, e.g., a search engine. Our server cannot automatically record your name or address.
Information you give us: We collect aggregate information regarding customer access or visit of the Site, and information volunteered by customers such as when you register and create an account with us, fill out orders, and communicate with us electronically.
We use cookies: We use them to store some information that is not personally identifiable in order to improve our customers’ experience on the Site. For example, we store some numerical information that allows our users to quickly link back to the last page they visited on the Site. 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, because we use cookies to help improve your shopping experience, we recommend that you leave them turned on.
How Does Bannisterwines.com Use the Information it Collects about Customers?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling or renting it with any third party. However, if we choose to do so in the future, we will notify you. We share customer information only on a limited basis such as described hereafter. We share it on a limited basis with agents we use from time to time to fulfill orders, deliver packages, send postal mail and e-mail, remove repetitive information from customer lists, analyze data, provide marketing assistance, process credit card payments, and provide customer service.
We use information about our customers for the specific purpose for which it was volunteered (e.g., purchase of a product). In addition, if you supply us with your postal address online, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information regarding a new products, upcoming promotional offers or events. Sometimes we also send offers to selected groups of Bannister Wines customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address.
If you do not wish to receive such mailings send us your request to:

However, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
In case Bannister Wines or substantially all of its assets are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of a merger, sale, consolidation or liquidation, customer information may be one of the transferred assets.

Links to Third Party Websites
Certain activities through the Site, such as special promotions, may be linked with those from other unrelated third party companies that offer you the option to share your personal information with the third party. We will not share your personal information with those third party companies; only you can if you make that choice.
Links provided on the Site to third party websites are provided as a convenience to you and we do not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours. We do not endorse or make any representations about any third party sites that may be accessible through the sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is covered by their privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
