    Our Commitment To Privacy

    Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Notice covers the www.portwineofmaine.com web site. Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to users' privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices. This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Portwine of Maine web site.

    The Information We Collect

    Like most web site operators, we automatically collect and store information in log files. This information includes the name of the domain and host from which you access the internet, the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer you are using, the browser software you use and your operating system, the date and time you access our web site, the pages you visit and the amount of time you view each page. This information is saved on our server only as anonymous data; we do not use it to track or record information about individuals. Generally, we delete this information after one year.

    On some pages, you can order products and make requests. The types of personal information collected at these pages are:

    • Name
    • Address
    • E-mail address
    • Phone number
    • Credit/Debit Card Information when you submit an order
    • The Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer you are using is saved with your order for fraud prevention

    On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the Recipient's Name, Address and Telephone Number, which information we will collect.

    The Way We Use Information

    We use information collected in our log files to better design our web site. We may share such anonymous aggregate information with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our web site, or that Y number of men and Z number of women purchased products, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

    We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order, such as an outside shipping company to ship orders.

    We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order, such as an outside shipping company to ship the order.

    We offer gift-cards by which you can personalize a product you order for another person. Information you provide to create a gift-card is only used for that purpose and is only disclosed to the person receiving the gift.

    We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

    You can submit an inquiry by using the Contact Us page of our web site. Information you submit on the Contact Us form will only be used to respond to your inquiry.

    Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

    Our Commitment To Data Security

    To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

    How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information

    To better safeguard your information, you are not able to access personally identifiable information that you enter online.

    You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request, in writing, that credibly shows error. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
