Thank you for visiting www.aperowine.com (the "Site"). APÉRO, Inc. ("APÉRO") values the trust that you have placed in us. Our privacy policy is designed to ensure that you understand what information we gather about you, how we use it or share it, and the safeguards we have in place in order to protect it when you visit our Site. If you have additional questions or would like further information on this topic, please feel free to contact us at info@aperowine.com. APÉRO may update this policy from time to time. Please visit this page periodically to review the privacy policy.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

APÉRO maintains practices and procedures designed to keep your information secure and confidential. We use generally accepted industry security standards to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use personal information. However, no commercial method of information transfer over the Internet or electronic data storage is known to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of that information during its transmission or its storage in our systems. We restrict and limit access to customer information only to those of our employees or authorized service providers who need it to carry out their business functions for APÉRO, and we educate our employees about safeguarding customer information and preventing its unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. We also require each of our authorized service providers who need such information in order to carry out their business functions for us to safeguard against such unauthorized access, disclosure or use.

INFORMATION WE GATHER

APÉRO gathers customer information needed to provide superior service and to administer our business. In order to best serve you, we may gather information from you. The specific information that we may gather from you will depend on the specific services we are asked to provide to you.

When you purchase items on the Site, we will ask you to voluntarily provide certain personally identifiable information, such as, your name, street address and e-mail address. Other examples of when we may ask you to voluntarily provide personally identifiable information include if you subscribe to our email list (information such as your name and e-mail address) or choose to provide us preference information (such as interests, product preferences, and items purchased).

COOKIES

When you visit our Site, we may collect non-personally identifiable information from you. Through the use of computer "cookies" we collect data, such as your IP address, browser type, domain name, and specific APÉRO web pages through which you click. The cookies that are configured by us do not contain any personally identifying information, such as your name or e-mail address, or sensitive information, such as your credit card number. This data is collected automatically, and utilized in the aggregate to help us look for trends so that we can improve our website and your APÉRO experience.

Most browsers are preset to accept cookies and are used to make online visits easier and faster for you. However, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Apple Safari) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. Cookies are not required for you to browse the Site. However, without cookies you will not be able to shop or place an order on the Site.

APÉRO also may contract with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information through the use of cookies and tracking pixels on the Site and through emails sent via the Site. The type of information we collect includes the areas of the Site visited and information about transactions made. This process also helps us manage marketing programs and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

We may place cookies on your browser through Google Analytics as well as other third party advertising companies, and third party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to the site. You can opt out from Google Serving ads based on your actions on the Site and other sites by going to the Google Ads Preferences Manager, and you can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

SHARING OF INFORMATION

APÉRO does not rent or sell customer information to outside marketers.

We may share your customer information with trusted service providers that need access to your information to provide operational or other support services for us. These providers must agree to comply with our privacy and data security policies. We also may provide information to regulatory authorities and law enforcement officials in accordance with applicable law or when we otherwise believe in good faith that the law requires it.

We may also partner with third party organizations to provide special programs or offers to APÉRO customers, in which case we may disclose to that organization information we collect, such as your name and contact information. Any such partnerships will be communicated and/or disclosed prior to placing a purchase with us. If you elect not to participate in such special programs or offers, you reserve the right to deny such sharing of information.

YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER

When you purchase items on the Site, we will ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, street address and email address, all of which will be stored. Order information, including your billing address and credit card information, will be provided to Authorize.net or to another PCI-compliant third party payment processor and the transmissions of credit card information always will be encrypted using industry standard encryption technology called secure socket layers (SSL). APÉRO does not store credit card information on our servers. Only a validation code is transmitted to us over the internet allowing us to proceed with the transaction. While no computer systems is completely secure, we believe that the measures we have implemented reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.

14. NO UNSOLICITED IDEAS AND MATERIALS ACCEPTED; NO CONFIDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH APÉRO.

APÉRO employs individuals to develop new ideas. As a result, APÉRO does not accept any unsolicited ideas or materials for products or services, or even improvements to products or services ("Unsolicited Ideas and Materials"). Do not send to APÉRO (even within any of your User Generated Content that we may request), in any form and by any means, any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you post on or send to us via the Site are and shall be deemed to be User Generated Content and licensed to us as set forth above.

Your relationship with APÉRO is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship and your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials, and anything else submitted by you (such as any questions, comments, answers, correspondence, postings, and the like) will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary User Generated Content — regardless of whether you mark them "confidential", "proprietary", or the like. APÉRO will not assume any responsibility, obligation, or liability for the receipt or non-receipt of any of the foregoing or for the loss or destruction of any of the foregoing. Therefore, your decision to submit any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials to APÉRO does not place APÉRO in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

APÉRO's receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by APÉRO of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair APÉRO's right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.
