Effective Date: July 15, 2021
This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that we collect on our website and how we use that information.
By visiting the Big Storm Distillery website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy governs the URL https://www.bigstormdistillery.com (“the Site”), certain electronic communications sent out by Big Storm Distillery, and information you provide in any manner to Big Storm Distillery.
The Site is owned and operated by Big Storm Brewing and Distilling Co. or its affiliates. If you choose to visit the Site, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, including limitations on damages and application of the law of the state of Florida. This Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use may change at any time and for any reason. The use of information that we gather now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of use unless you are otherwise notified. You should check the Site frequently to see recent changes.
Our Commitment to Privacy
Big Storm Distillery is committed to your right to privacy and to keeping your personal information private. You can visit the Site without telling us who you are. However, because the Site includes areas in which visitors can provide personally identifying information, we have developed this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and practices regarding information we collect about you. The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your buying experience at the Site.
Information You Voluntarily Provide
On some pages of this site, you can purchase products from us. Personal information may be collected on these pages, including your name, billing and/or mailing address, email address, phone number, and payment information (including credit card number).
On certain pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient’s address. In these circumstances, the personal information collected about other people may include their names, mailing addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.
Automatic Information
Big Storm Distillery also collects certain other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit the Site. This information is collected using log files and includes your IP address and your domain name. Big Storm Distillery logs these IP addresses as well as other information (e.g., date, time, click path, etc.) and aggregates them for system administration and to monitor the use of the site.
We use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to the Site, the average time spent on the Site, the number of pages viewed, geographic location, and various other site statistics. This monitoring helps us to provide a more useful and engaging online experience to visitors to the Site and helps us to improve the quality of our content.
We may use cookies and other tracking beacons to manage user accounts, to track actions, and for re-marketing purposes. Cookies and tracking beacons are not used for any other reason on the Site. A cookie is a small file that is sent out by a website, accepted by the user’s browser, and placed on the user’s hard drive. It is a common practice, and you can always set your browser to warn of cookies being placed, and then choose which cookies you want to accept. However, please note that you may not be able to use certain parts of the Site if you decide not to accept cookies. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. The Site uses cookies to track user traffic patterns when you click on various links and promotions throughout the Site.
Information From Other Sources
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.
Ways Information about You Is Used
Your information will be used or disclosed in connection with any order you contemplate. When you place an order with us, we obtain certain information from you including, but not limited to, your name, billing and/or mailing address, email address, and phone number.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, including but not limited to fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, analyzing data and providing customer service. These companies and individuals have access to personal information needed to perform their function, but they may not use it for other purposes.
You can register with the Site if you would like to receive electronic communications (emails) from Big Storm Distillery. Information you submit on the Site will not be used for this purpose unless you fill out the registration form. Every recipient of our electronic communications can quickly and easily “opt out” of future such communications by following the instructions on any email we send.
We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order as described above and as otherwise required or provided by law.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that either Big Storm Distillery or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
From time to time, we release account and other personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law or valid legal process (such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order); enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Big Storm Distillery, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
Security
Big Storm Distillery uses generally accepted industry-standard security systems, software, and encryption technologies to protect against unauthorized access to the Site servers, equipment, and other components of our online presence. Big Storm Distillery also takes security measures to protect any information passed between the Site and your computer during ordering sessions; however, the Site cannot guarantee that any electronic commerce is totally secure. Big Storm Distillery will take measures to secure and protect all customer-specific information from loss, misuse, and alteration. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
We also have in place privacy protection control contractual obligations with our vendors designed to ensure that personal data is protected from unauthorized access or disclosure. All employees of Big Storm Distillery must abide by its Privacy Policy. Only authorized employees are permitted to have access to personally identifiable data about website visitors, and that access is limited to what is reasonably needed to perform an employee’s responsibilities, such as providing updates or notices or customer service.
