U.S. PRIVACY STATEMENT
Vineyard Home & Gifts is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sassy June LLC.
At Sassy June, we value the trust of our customers. To earn your trust, we respect your privacy in handling personally-identifiable information relating to you and your transactions with us, whether on our Internet web site or in our store. This Privacy Statement describes the personally identifiable information we gather about you, what we do with it, the safeguards we have in place to protect it, and how you can control our use of it.
What personally identifiable information does Sassy June request?
We collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the site, complete an application, request a catalog, place an order, enroll in a promotional or rewards program, give us a telephone call or send us a letter or e-mail. This personally identifiable information may include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card number and expiration date, and other optional demographic information.
In addition, when you choose to participate in voluntary programs we offer we may need to collect other personally identifiable information, such as your age. We may ask your age when you elect to participate in various promotional activities we offer. This is done only to verify that you are of an age legally required to participate. We do not store, process or otherwise use information relating to your age.
You may browse our web site without supplying any personally identifiable information, but we will need to collect personally identifiable information to process your orders or to send you offers or information that you request.
How does Sassy June use personally identifiable information about me?
The personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us will be used to process your orders, and may be used to identify you within our systems. We may use your email address to contact you if we have questions about your order. We may also use your email address to notify you about new services or special promotional programs, or send you offers or information.
With whom might Sassy June share personally identifiable information about me?
We will not disclose personally-identifiable information about you to others except as disclosed in this Privacy Statement or as specifically authorized by you at the time the information is collected.
We contract with third parties to provide specific products or services to you. For example, we use a credit card company to verify, bill, and collect payments when you make a purchase with a credit card; and we use outside service providers to operate our web site and to send e-mails to customers and prospective customers. These service providers are provided with only the information that they need to perform their functions and are not permitted to use or disclose your personally-identifiable information for other purposes without your authorization.
We enter into marketing relationships with advertisers or other companies that provide products or services that we believe may be of interest to our customers. We may share non- identifiable aggregated information with these companies, and, in addition, we may provide them with mailing address information so that they may extend offers to you. We will not disclose your e-mail address, telephone number, or credit card account information for these purposes.
We may share personally identifiable information with law enforcement or other entities as required by law or as we reasonably determine to be necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others, to prevent harm to persons or property, to fight fraud, or to enforce our web site terms of use. Personally identifiable information may be transferred as an asset in connection with a merger or sale (including any transfers made as part of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of our businesses.
Does Sassy June conduct special programs that use personally identifiable information?
We occasionally conduct surveys, contests, or other promotional programs that involve the collection of personally-identifiable information, and we may send promotional e-mails to such participants from time to time. Participation in these programs is completely voluntary, so that you have a choice whether to disclose the requested information without limiting your ability to place orders for products and services. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as gender, zip code, or age). Contact information will be used to notify participants of the outcome of such promotions. Survey information may be used or disclosed for purposes of monitoring or improving the performance of our retail, catalog, or web site operations.
How can I limit the use and sharing of personally identifiable information about me?
You may decline to receive promotional e-mail from us. Every promotional e-mail we send contains instructions and an Internet link to opt out of future e-mail promotions. You may also opt out of promotional e-mails by sending an e-mail request to info@thewildgrape.com or by calling us toll-free at 1-888-295-9536.
You may ask us to refrain from providing personally identifiable information about you for marketing purposes to other companies with which we have marketing relationships and you may request to be removed from our catalog and mailing lists, all by calling us toll-free at 1- 888-295-9536.
To obtain information about having your name and home address removed from marketing mailing lists on a national basis, you may contact the Direct Marketing Association at www. the-dma.org.
