Hemmer Vineyards is committed to maintaining your confidence and trust and accordingly maintains the following Privacy Policy to protect personal information you provide online. You should not access this Site or use our services until you have carefully read this Privacy Policy and agree to the terms and conditions described in it.

Our Collection and Use of Your Personal Information
We may collect and use information about you which we reasonably believe will help us administer our business or provide products, services or other opportunities to you. Among other things, we may use the information we learn about you to help us personalize and improve the experience you have with us, to respond to your requests and to communicate with you. The types of information we may collect, retain and use include the following:

Site Information
In general, you can visit the Hemmer Vineyards website (“the site”) without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers may collect the domain names of visitors. This information may be aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, etc. Hemmer Vineyards may utilize this information (“behavior profiles”) to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content we offer. We may share with third parties experiential information or other data which does not personally identify users of our Site. This might include product preferences of all visitors to our Site, for example.

Information You Provide To Us
You are not required to register in order to access our Site. However, if you send us an email, sign up for our Newsletter, register to join our wine club or if you contact us to receive information or products from us, we may collect profile information from you (“Personally Identifiable Information”). You may provide, for instance, your first and last name, email address, your company name, title, address (i.e., street address, city, state, country and zip/postal code), phone number, fax number or product information or preferences. If you make a purchase on our Site we will also ask you for additional information including the credit card number and expiration date, billing address, shipping address and name on the account (“Credit Card Information”) as well as information verifying your identity and age. We may keep your Credit Card Information on file and on our storefront vendor’s servers. This will enable you to make future purchases without re-entering your Credit Card Information. The Credit Card Information will not be shared with any third party not affiliated with the Company without notifying you in this Privacy Policy. The Personally Identifiable Information you provide is stored in a secure location and is accessible only by designated staff. By providing this Personally Identifiable Information to us, you explicitly agree to our collection and usage of such information as described in this Privacy Policy. We may use your Personally Identifiable Information to respond to your inquiries, process an order, contact you regarding account status or customer service, let you know about products or services which may be of interest to you, allow you to access specific account information or for other purposes. You are permitting us to share your Personally Identifiable Information (but not your email address) with third parties outside of the Hemmer Vineyards family of companies.

Cookies
Our Site also uses “cookie” technology to make your visits more convenient. The main way we do this is by giving you the option to save your email address in forms, as when you subscribe to the Advocate’s Club wine subscription. These “cookies” are set so we may better customize your visit experience in the future. You are free to reject or “Not Accept” all cookies, but we will not be able to auto-enter your email address or customize your future visits.

We may use Google Analytics to analyze traffic to this website. Google Analytics does not create individual profiles for visitors. Unlike some tracking services, Google Analytics does not have a database of individual profiles for each visitor. Google Analytics only collects aggregate data.

Email Communications
We may use your email address to contact you to respond to your inquiries or to provide information on products or services to you. To help us determine whether you have received an email from us, and to help us make emails more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation that you have opened an email from us. We will not share your email with others outside companies. Access to email communications we receive is restricted to only employees who have a business reason or role that requires it.
