Personal Information
I. THE TYPE OF INFORMATION THE SITE COLLECTS
The Communications generally collect personally identifying information with your specific knowledge and consent. Our servers may also automatically collect information about your computer when you visit the Communications, including without limitation the type of browser software you use, the operating system you are running, the website that referred you, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. Your IP address is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your company or your university. The information we collect helps us, among other things, to monitor our internal operations, improve our services, identify the most popular areas of our Communications and determine the effectiveness of our services and promotional activities.
II. HOW WINE COUNTRY MINUTE 00:60 MAY USE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU
Wine Country Minute 00:60 uses personally identifying information you supply through the Communications to provide you with the service you have requested. For example, if you subscribe to any of our newsletters, we may use your e-mail address to send you a confirmation notice. Similarly, if you enter an online sweepstakes, we will use this information to notify you if you are a winner. We may also use the information to communicate with you about new features, products or services, and/or to improve the services that we offer by tailoring them to your needs.
Wine Country Minute 00:60 may share personally identifying information within our company and its affiliates. Wine Country Minute 00:60 will otherwise never share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone for their promotional use without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law. If you provide Wine Country Minute 00:60 with advance permission, we may share, sell or rent personally identifying information with carefully selected companies who we think can offer you services and products of interest to you. If at any time, including after providing advance permission, you do not wish to have your personally identifying information shared, write to us at the street address set forth at the end of this document or email us at privacy@winecountryminute.com. If you do not wish to receive future commercial communications from us by e-mail, simply follow the unsubscribe instructions contained within the e-mail. If you've registered on any part of the Communications, please use the mechanism offered on the Communications that allows you to change or update your member preferences or information, if available, to keep all such data accurate and up-to-date.
In order to provide you a more customized experience or more relevant offers, we may merge your information with other publicly available information. There may also be instances where Wine Country Minute 00:60 communicates with you through channels other than email using information that you have provided either online or through other avenues.
We also allow access to our database by third parties that provide us with services, such as technical maintenance or forums and job search software, but only for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to provide those services. And if you choose to purchase items through features on the Communications, we may forward your information to third parties for services such as credit card processing and order fulfillment. There are also times when you provide information about yourself to us in areas of the Communications that may be managed or participated in by third parties, such as auction services or shopping areas. In such cases, the information may be used by us and by such third party(ies), each pursuant to its own policies. We may also provide your information to our advertisers, so that they can serve ads to you that meet your needs or match your interests. While the Communications will seek to require such third parties to follow appropriate privacy policies and will not authorize them to use this information except for the express purpose for which it is provided, the Communications do not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of third parties. We may also provide access to our database in order to cooperate with official investigations or legal proceedings, including, for example, in response to subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, or other legal processes.
In addition, we reserve the right to use the information we collect about your computer, which may at times be able to identify you, for any lawful business purpose, including without limitation to help diagnose problems with our servers, to gather broad demographic information, and to otherwise administer our Communications.
While your personally identifying information is protected as outlined above, we reserve the right to use, transfer, sell, and share aggregated, anonymous data about our users as a group for any business purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and seeking compatible advertisers and partners.
In addition, as our business changes, we may buy or sell various assets. In the event all or a portion of the assets owned or controlled by a Service Provider, its parent or any subsidiary or affiliated entity are sold, assigned, transferred or acquired by another company, the information from and/or about our Communications' users may be among the transferred assets.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13, or knowingly allow such persons to register for any of our services.

Cookies
When you visit our Communications, we may send one or more cookies - small, removable data files - to your computer. We use cookies to uniquely identify your browser, which allows us to enhance and personalize your online experience at our Communications. For example, cookies allow us to recognize you when you return to a website and present relevant content to you when you visit. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can configure your browser to warn you when cookies are sent, or to refuse all cookies. Some of the features and services of our Communications may not operate properly if your cookies are disabled.
Cookies, by themselves, do not provide us with any personally-identifying information. However, if you elect to provide us with personally-identifying information during your visit, that information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
Please be aware that this information applies to the use of cookies by Wine Country Minute 00:60 and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technology by any of its advertisers.
Ad Servers
Advertisements that appear on Wine Country Minute 00:60 Communications are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. Wine Country Minute 00:60 does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Again, this Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Wine Country Minute 00:60 and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.
Additionally, we have relationships directly with third-parties who offer services through advertisements that you may see when you visit our Communications. These companies may use certain information about your visit to the Communications in order to provide services to you. YOU SHOULD READ THE PRIVACY POLICIES ON EACH ADVERTISER'S WEB SITE YOU ACCESS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR USE OF THE PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU SUPPLY TO THEM.
Information Security and Quality
The law permits us to share information about our current and former customers with government agencies or authorized third parties under certain circumstances. For example, we may be required to share such information in response to subpoenas or to comply with certain laws.
We reserve the right to disclose information contained within our access logs concerning any user as we reasonably feel is necessary to protect our systems or business. Specifically, but without limitation, we reserve the right to disclose such when a visitor partakes (or is reasonably suspected of partaking) in any illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, and to disclose such information in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests, and as otherwise required by law. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution, in connection with any suspected illegal activity.
Business Relationships
Our Communications may contain links to other Web sites, emails, and other communications that we do not control. Wine Country Minute 00:60 is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites, emails, and other communications.
