What information we collect and how we use it:

• Information collected: At this time we do not collect user information except as described below. We collect no personal information. If we change this policy in the future we will create an obvious notification to explain the issues and you would have to opt-in. Nothing sneaky will ever happen on this site or our mobile apps.
• Site traffic and cookies: We have very limited use of cookies, those little text files that Web sites place on your computer that help sites keep track of a tiny bit of site visitor information. We use a cookie for our Web site statistics and analytics software so we have a clue what is going on with site traffic. It collects anonymous traffic data. That's about it. You can control cookies in your browser privacy settings. Often a browsing experience is improved by allowing cookies and we really need the Web site traffic information to understand how the site is used so please allow cookies. This traffic info is similar to any business that can see store visitors walking around in their departments or offices except we have no idea what you are wearing, what you look like, or any other information about you personally. All we know is that someone visited a Web page on a certain day.
• Winery Quest iPhone app privacy: We collect no information from our mobile app. However, in the future we may collect annonymous use information that is similar to the information in the paragraph above. As with our Website analytics data there will be no personally identifiable information collected. We need this data to understand how people use our software so we can determine what is useful and what should be changed or deleted.
• IP address: Our Website server collects the IP address, for example 122.10.25.73, for every visitor to the site. All such servers collect this information and Website operators need it to block scammers that are frequently attacking sites (most attackers are from China). This address is issued to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and we have no access to your personal information. Our site analytics software informs us of roughly where your iSP's servers are located which may or may not be in the city you are located. However, our site and the ISP's information could be subject to a court order and we would have to disclose the time and date of the visit to our site by the specificed IP address. We've never been the subject of a court order and it is hard to imagine why this site would be.

Summary

• We don't use your info to spam. Messages to members are rare.
• You control privacy settings in your profile. You can delete your account at any time.
• We try not to be hacked but can't absolutely guarantee it.
