Additionally, we may use your IP address, browser type, and/or your Internet Service Provider (“IT Information”) to help diagnose problems with our server, to detect fraud, and to administer the Site. We may also use your IT Information to assist in attempting to identify you when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use or to protect the Site, our systems, affiliates, information, employees, business partners, service providers, users, customers, or others or as may be required by law enforcement.

USER NAME AND PASSWORD

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your user name and password, if applicable to this Site. You shall be responsible for all uses of your user name and password, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your user name or password.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

We are required to provide your information to certain of our Third Party vendors in order to store your data, process orders, payments and shipments, and execute e-mail campaigns as discussed below. Our service providers are not permitted to use your information for their own marketing purposes, unless they have an independent relationship to you and have obtained your information from another source.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide you services and to maintain a record of your transactions for financial reporting and compliance purposes. If you wish to cancel your account, please contact us at privacy@cakebread.com. We will keep your order history on file indefinitely so that we can always provide you with information on what you ordered previously unless you ask us to delete it.

Your Rights to Access or Delete Your Data

If you ask, we will provide you with a copy of your account data or delete your account at your request, subject to verifying your identity as discussed below. Up to twice a year, you may ask us whether we are collecting, storing, using, disclosing or selling your personal information, what categories and/or specific pieces of personal information of yours we are collecting and storing, the categories of sources from which our personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information, and whom we may have shared your information with and the categories of that information shared.

Such “requests to know” can be sent by contacting us at privacy@cakebread.com, or by phone at (800) 588-0298. We will work diligently to respond to your requests and will provide you with a free response within 45 days.

If you would like us to delete your data, please contact us at privacy@cakebread.com or (800) 588-0298. Depending on the nature of the data that you request we delete, we may require you provide two or more data points that match the information in our file. Note that even if you request deletion, we may continue to retain and use information as may be authorized or necessary under California Law. While you have the right to request that we delete the personal information you provide to us and we will not discriminate against you for exercising any rights that you have, we may no longer be able to sell you any alcohol-containing beverages if you ask us to delete your information showing you are of legal age or are in a location where it is legal for us to sell to you, and you may need to make other arrangements to verify your age and location to facilitate transactions. If you have an active membership in any of our wine clubs, we cannot delete the information necessary to process your membership transactions.

We will verify your identity for purposes of such a request to delete or a request to know. If you have an account on the Site, we will verify your request for information through your account. If you do not have an account, we will verify your request depending on the nature of the request. If you request to know the categories of information, we will request that you provide two pieces of information that match our records, which may vary depending on the information we have on file. If you request to know specific pieces of information, we will require additional verification to match three pieces of information on file, as well as a signed declaration via mail sent to Cakebread Cellars P.O. Box 216, Rutherford California, 94573. If you would like to designate an authorized agent to make such a request on your behalf you may do so by providing us with written permission of such authorization, or your agent must provide proof of a power of attorney.

In order to ensure protection of your information from fraudulent requests, we require you provide us with additional information to verify your identity should you wish to access or delete your data. For your protection, in the event the requisite verification is not satisfied, we may deny the request for access to your account data or to delete your account.

Protecting Your Information

We make every effort to ensure that any data that we store about you is kept behind a secure firewall and is not accessible to the public in any way. Your personal information is collected and stored in a secure area for your protection. Any credit card information that we collect from you is tokenized and only available to process your orders via our service providers.

We protect user data offline as well by restricting access to information to only those employees (for example, a Customer Care representative) who need the information to perform a specific job. All employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices and are aware of the importance of keeping customer data secure and safe at all times. We also outsource certain of our data processing operations to third parties as discussed below, and we have agreements with those service providers that require them to maintain security over your information.

Although we use our best efforts to protect the security of your information and our system, and we have agreements in place with our service providers requiring them to do the same, no transmission via the internet or storage of data can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result of this and other factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee the security of the information that you transmit to or through our Site. Therefore, you assume that risk by using the Site.

If you have any questions about the security of our Site, please feel free to contact us at privacy@cakebread.com.

How We Share Your Information With Third Parties

We value your privacy, and we will never sell or rent any personal information to any Third Party for that Third Party’s marketing purposes unless we are given explicit and affirmative authority to do so by you. The Cakebread family of companies, of which Cakebread Cellars is a part, will never sell or rent your personal information.

We work with Service Providers, who may be considered “Third Parties,” to assist us in fulfilling our sales and services to you and to process your data, including shipping companies, data hosts, credit card processors, and email management companies to host our databases, ship orders, process credit cards, or bill you for goods and services. We require all Service Providers and Third Parties to keep any information they receive confidential, maintain the privacy of all our customers, and to use any information provided to only provide services on behalf of Cakebread and the customer. We have in the past and may continue to disclose for business purposes your personal information with these Service Providers and Third Parties as set forth in the table above.

From time to time, we may also employ other Service Providers or Third Parties to perform services, to maintain and operate the Site, and to maintain certain features on the Site. To such parties, we may disclose non-personal information such as traffic patterns and website usage data, but in no event will we disclose any personal information. Third parties may also acquire browsing data or other information about your activity on the Site through cookies, as discussed below.

We also may employ Service Providers or Third Parties to analyze our sales data for internal purposes, in which case we may disclose information to such parties such as the wines purchased, the location of shipments, and the frequency of purchases. We additionally may enlist a Service Provider or Third Party to assist with marketing and sending member e-mails, in which case we will provide these third party vendors only with member e-mail addresses. Again, we require all such Service Providers or Third Parties to keep any information they receive confidential, maintain the privacy of all our customers, and to use any information provided for services on our and your behalf.
