Privacy Policy Privacy Policy

 

At Covenant we recognize and respect our customers’ privacy. We diligently protect the trust you have placed in us. We have developed a Privacy Policy to assure you that the information collected about you is only what is needed for conducting business and offering products and services that may be of interest to you.

 


Our Policy

Federal and California state law require us to request identification from each consumer to prove that you are of age to legally purchase alcohol. All information is provided voluntarily by you, the user, in order to request our electronic communications, and/or purchase any wines directly from Covenant (“Covenant”).

We collect personal information about you when you provide it to us, such as through your use of our websites and its features, when you contact us directly by email, phone, in writing, or via social media, when you order goods and services, when you use any of our other websites or applications or any other means by which you provide personal information to us, and combine this data with information we already have about you. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you. We will obtain your consent before contacting you if required by the law of the country in which you are located.

To process an order, we need your name, home or other physical address, including street name and name of city or town, email address, telephone number, date of birth and credit card number. We understand the sensitivity of this information and maintain our files on a secured server to protect against unauthorized access.

When you make a purchase to be delivered in the United States, your credit card will be processed by Covenant. Please check your credit card statement to verify that the charges have been properly processed via Commerce7.

We do not share any other information with third parties, except in the case of contact or order information needed to fulfill your order. We do not sell email addresses.

Email Communication and Opt-Out

Covenant offers guests access to our websites subscriptions to electronic communications. In so doing we gather the e-mail addresses of the visitors who subscribe to electronic communications or email us with any questions or requests through our online web forms. We send email updates on new releases, products and wine information, to subscribers only. We may communicate with you via electronic messages, including but not limited to email, to, for example: send you information relating to our products, including shipment confirmations and updates, and receipts; and/or, communicate with you about offers, promotions, upcoming events, and other news about Covenant.

Aggregated Tracking

Usage tracking
Covenant may track website visitor traffic patterns throughout our websites or social media platforms. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual visitors. Covenant does break down overall usage statistics according to a visitor’s domain name, browser type, and Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every website visitor’s browser).

A text file called a “cookie” may be placed in the browser files of a visitor’s computer. Although the cookie file itself does not contain personal information, it provides information about a particular visitor’s use of a website. A cookie file can not read data off a hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites.

The placement of cookies can be blocked by changing the browser setting pertaining to cookies. This setting can also be changed to provide notification when a cookie file is placed. Note that our website does not require cookies to be accepted in order to function.

Use of Aggregated Tracking Information
Covenant uses aggregated tracking information to determine which areas of the website are preferred by visitors and to tailor our content to visitors’ needs. For example, we do not track what individual visitors read, but rather the utilization rates for each page overall.

Sharing of Aggregated Tracking Information
Covenant may use the aggregated tracking information we collect from our website visitors individually or aggregated with other information in order to improve and customize our online content. We do not share such aggregated tracking information about individual users with any third party, except in order to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our visitors or the public.

We cannot guarantee that any visitor information will remain secure and therefor you should use extreme caution when revealing information on the website.
