Personal information

It is our policy to ensure our compliance with all relevant statutory requirements contained in the Data Protection Act 1998 ("Act"), including the eight Data Protection Principles, and that we take all necessary steps to ensure that Personal Information held by us is processed fairly and lawfully.

Personal Information we collect will be used solely for the purpose of providing our services as set out in our Terms and Conditions. We will not hold Personal Information for any longer than is necessary for these purposes.

Information gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs. Under no circumstances does Wine Asset divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

Surveys

We may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

Children

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18.

Usage tracking

We track user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We do break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

We sometimes tracks and catalogue the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
