2. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW IT IS USED
You make the decision whether or not to proceed with any activity that requests personally identifiable information, but please be aware that if you choose not to provide the information requested, you may not be able to complete certain transactions with us.
Sometimes, such as when you register for a service or log in to a customer extranet site, order a product or make other requests or inquiries, we will ask for specific information about you in order to provide that product or service to you, or respond to your requests or inquiries. We may collect certain personally identifiable information such as contact information, including name, e-mail address, work and home telephone numbers and a physical postal address. We may also collect information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, past experience with Vinny’s bottleshop ltd products and services, detailed contact preferences or other personally identifiable information. We may use any information that we collect, including personally identifiable information, to tailor subsequent communications to you, including marketing and promotional communications, to administer and operate the Web Site and our business and to provide and continually improve Vinny’s Bottleshop Ltd offerings. We may also share information that we collect, including personally identifiable information, with our affiliated companies or other third parties in order to market Vinny’s Bottleshop Ltd products and/or services to you.
We do, however, provide our users a choice as to whether or not they would like to receive marketing or promotional communications. Users may from time to time receive up-to-date information on products and services via our e-mail newsletter, etc. Users may opt- in or out at any time from receiving these communications. Please see Section 3, Choice.
We may also periodically conduct business and individual user surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve our products and services. Participation in such surveys is completely voluntary and you, therefore, have a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Data you submit online may also be combined with other information you provide through other means of communication, such as postal mail.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring pages, date/time stamp and click stream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyse trends, to administer the Web Site, to track users’ movements around the Web Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
Our Web Site may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button Widgets and the “Share” button. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Web Site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on our Web Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
