Amanda’s Wine Adventures ("we," "us," or "our") believes privacy is a fundamental human right and that ethical data practices contribute to a healthier internet and a better world. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit amandaswineadventures.com.
Our guiding principle is simple: collect as little data as possible, use it responsibly, never exploit it, and respect your choices.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect information that is genuinely necessary to operate and improve this website.
a. Information You Voluntarily Provide
You may choose to provide information such as:
Your name or email address (for example, when subscribing to a newsletter or contacting us)
Messages or feedback you send to us
We collect this information only for the purpose you intended, such as responding to inquiries or sharing updates you explicitly requested.
b. Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we collect limited technical information through privacy-conscious analytics tools, including:
Pages visited and time spent on the site
Referring pages or links
Browser and device type
Approximate location (city/region, not precise location)
This information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site and to improve content, navigation, and accessibility. We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors.
2. What We Do Not Do
In service of a more ethical and humane internet, we commit to the following:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data
We do not knowingly collect data from children
We do not use invasive tracking technologies
We do not engage in surveillance-based advertising
We do not collect data "just in case" we might need it someday
3. Cookies & Similar Technologies
This website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and basic analytics.
Analytics
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar services) to understand how the website is used. These tools may set cookies or collect usage data. Where possible, data is anonymized and not used to track you across other websites.
Email Communications (Mailchimp)
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use Mailchimp to manage email communications. Mailchimp may collect information such as your email address, IP address, and engagement data (for example, whether an email was opened). This information is used only to send content you have opted into and to improve email quality.
Embedded Content & Social Media
Pages on this site may include embedded content from Instagram (such as images or feeds). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external site directly and may collect data according to that platform’s privacy policy.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.
4. How We Use Information
Any information we collect is used to:
Respond to messages or requests
Share content you have opted into receiving
Improve the quality, performance, and accessibility of the website
Maintain the security and integrity of the site
We aim to use data in ways that are transparent, proportionate, and respectful.
5. Data Sharing
We only share information when absolutely necessary, such as:
With trusted service providers who help operate the website (e.g., hosting or email services)
These providers are required to uphold strong privacy and security standards and may only use your information to perform services on our behalf.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed to fulfill its original purpose, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
7. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
Access the personal information we have about you
Request correction or deletion of your data
Withdraw consent at any time
We respect these rights regardless of where you live and will make a good-faith effort to honor reasonable requests.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. While no system is 100% secure, we strive to use tools and practices that reduce risk and prioritize safety.
9. Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.
10. Changes to This Policy
If we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the effective date and post the updated version here. Changes will always align with our core commitment to ethical, minimal, and human-centered data practices.
