International transfers

When data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we apply appropriate safeguards (adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses – SCCs) in line with applicable law.

Third-party services & features

Our services may include links, widgets and plugins (e.g., Meta, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, X, YouTube). Their practices are governed by their own privacy notices.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized access or disclosure.

B2B company lists

We offer B2B databases containing professional company information from the wine & spirits sector (e.g., business name, country, website, roles, professional emails). We do not sell lists intended for the general public. Recipients have rights (access, rectification, objection, erasure) exercisable via our contact form. Each communication includes an unsubscribe mechanism.

Additional disclosures for U.S. residents (California/CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPRA), “sharing” includes cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not “sell” personal information for money, but we may “share” identifiers and internet activity with advertising partners to serve/measure ads. You can opt out at any time using the link below; we also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where applicable.
