GEYSER PEAK PRIVACY POLICY
Welcome to the Geyser
Peak Winery Internet
site (this "Site"), of Peak Wines
International ("PWI"). Geyser Peak and PWI want you to
know what information we learn about you when you visit this Site,
what we do with that information and any other information you
voluntarily provide us through this Site or by other means and
how you can view or change the information we have.
There are 2 types of
information that we
can learn about you as you browse and use this site. Each type
of information
can be used in a different
way, and only you decide how
much information to
share with us.
1. Internet-related
- generic statistical and
demographic information.
2. Personal information
that you provide when
registering, ordering
online, or making contact with us.
1. Internet-related
information
We collect IP addresses
for the purposes
of system administration, to gather broad demographic information,
and to
monitor the level
of
activity on our Site.
We collect information from visitors to our
Site regarding the
referring URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come
to the Site, the
country,
state, the pages
of our Site that you viewed during your visit and any search
terms
entered on our Site.
We track customers'
traffic patterns
throughout their online sessions, including which pages
a customer views
while using the Site. This information is ultimately
stored in the form
of store categories,
and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address to
diagnose
problems with our
servers and software and to
administer our Site.
We may share aggregated statistics about pages viewed on our
Site
and sales and other
shopping information
with third parties.
2. Personal Information
If you provide information
about yourself by
registering on a page, by filling out a survey, or otherwise
by voluntarily telling us about yourself or your
activities, we will
collect that personal information for PWI’s
own internal use.
See below for more detail on what happens to your personal information
when you place an order at our
Online Store. Except
as may be necessary to fulfill your order, only designated and
authorized PWI sales and marketing employees
will use the information
you and other visitors give us in connection with their duties
and for the purposes of identifying
consumer preferences,
improving our products and services and the content of this Site.
When you give us your first and last
name, birthdate,
email, day and evening telephone numbers, or postal address,
we may contact you by email, regular mail,
or telephone from
time to time with information about our new products and services,
special offers, upcoming events and
changes to this Site.
If you do not wish to be contacted by all or any of these methods,
you may let us know by sending
an email message
to us at winedir@jbbwines.com. Please be sure to give us your
exact name and address so we can be sure that
we remove your name
from our lists.
How to Change your
Personal Information
You can update your

by contacting us at
winedir@jbbwines.com. Your profile will be updated immediately.
Ordering through the
Online Store
Placing an order at
the Geyser Peak Online

and secure. We are
committed to protecting
your privacy and the security of your personal information.
The personal information
you submit with an
order is treated as
confidential information and it will not
be distributed, traded,
sold, or rented to
anyone. We employ other
companies to perform
certain functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders
and delivering packages,
and these companies
have access to your
information. We have arranged with net10.net to process your
credit
card information. They
use SSL encryption
of your credit card
information. You may access the net10.net
site and privacy policy
to read more about
the security measures
they employ. When you
order from the Online Store, we will collect personally identifiable
information from you.
If you order one of
our products or services,
the Online Store
will collect and
maintain your name,
email address, billing
and shipping address,
telephone number, date
of birth, product selections, order number, and order information.
Before confirming your
order you will have
the opportunity to
review the product order
form and make
changes and additions
to the information
it contains. The information
you submit will only
be used to process your order and to provide a more effective
and
personalized shopping
experience.
Sharing Information
If you provide us with
your consent, we may
share your personal
information with our
affiliates and business
partners with whom
we have joint marketing
arrangements. We are not in the business of selling information
about our customers
except in the limited
circumstance set out
below. We engage other
companies to perform
certain functions on
our behalf, such as
fulfilling orders,
delivering packages
and services related
to the design, maintenance
and improvement of
this Site and our database.
These companies have
access to your personal
information. Otherwise we may share your information only
to the extent necessary
to comply with applicable
laws, police investigations,
or in legal proceedings
where such information
is relevant. If you
do not want us to share
any of your personal
information with our affiliates and business
partners, then please
let us know by contacting
us at winedir@jbbwines.com.
Geyser Peak and PWI
may assign, sell, license, or otherwise
transfer to a third

requiring the confidential
treatment of such

an assignment, sale, joint venture, or other
transfer or disposition

Your personal information

held on servers kept
in a physically and
technologically secure
environment, accessed

who are bound to keep
your information confidential. Although we will use
all reasonable

Cookies
When you visit this
Site, we leave a "cookie" in the memory of your Web

only function properly if cookies are enabled. GeyserPeakWinery.com
uses cookies to authenticate you
as a user and display
content that is relevant and persistent to you. Cookies are very
small files that store information about
your visit to and use
of this Site. Most major commercial Internet sites use them and
they make your Internet-surfing more useful
and less time-consuming
for you because they store information that is reusable each
time you visit this Site, such as birthday
and other preferences
you have chosen to share with us. Cookies cannot access and read
the files on your hard drive and cannot
be used as a virus.
They do allow us to provide information and products that are
more meaningful to you without asking you the
same questions every
time you visit us. You may get cookies from our advertisers.
We cannot pre-screen these cookies since they
come directly to you
from other sites. We hope you will want the better service that
cookies allow, but if you prefer, you
can set your browser
to refuse cookies. However by doing that, you will not be able
to access GeyserPeakWinery.com.
