PRIVACY POLICY
Pete’s Brewing Company, a California corporation
(“Brewer”), have created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate
our firm commitment to the privacy of your personal information. The
following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices
for this website (the “Site”). Information Collected and Disclosed Brewer collects nonpublic personal information
about you from the following sources: Ø Information
we receive from you; and
Ø Information
about your transactions with us or others.
We do not disclose any
nonpublic personal information about you to anyone, except as permitted
by law, however, we may choose
to disclose all of the information we collect, as described above, to
companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other
similar companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements.
Brewer and its affiliates whose products are provided through
this Site are
the owners of the information collected on this Site. Brewer may share
aggregate information about our users with advertisers, business partners,
sponsors and other third parties, though such summary information will
not identify any specifics related to you business. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this statement. Brewer restricts access
to your nonpublic personal information to those employees who need to
know that information to provide merchandise or information to you.
Brewer maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to
guard your nonpublic personal information. Security For your security, account
access on our Site is encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer Protocol (“SSL”)
technology on both the client and server end. VeriSign has issued Brewer a unique ID, which assures visitors that
they have reached our authentic Site, thereby allowing communications
to be encrypted. In order for
128-bit SSL to work, though, you must have a browser that supports SSL
technology. Please note that email
may not be encrypted and cannot be considered a secure means of transmitting
sensitive information. Brewer
will never ask you to submit your financial data such as your credit
card account numbers, via email. This website takes every
precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line. When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card account numbers), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, for example a Java window displaying your account
information, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed
to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. While we use 128-bit SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything
in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only those individuals and entities who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Furthermore, all parties who receive sensitive
information are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. We frequently notify and/or remind those parties
about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure
our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment, with access restricted. Collection and Use of
IP Addresses We use IP addresses to
analyze trends, administer the Site, track user’s movement, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Cookies A cookie is a small data
file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit
them. A cookie file can contain
information such as a user ID that the Site uses to track the pages
you've visited. When you register at the
Site, Brewer uses a cookie to store a unique, random user ID. We do not store passwords or any personal information
about you. We use this ID to identify you anonymously in our database
and to track information while you are on our Site. Cookies also enable you to enter the Site as
a registered user without having to log on each time. You can refuse cookies
by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use the Site. However,
if you turn off cookies, then you may not be able to utilize certain
features of the Site. Orders Our Site’s order form
requires users to give us contact information (like their name and email
address) and some demographic information (like your gender or address). We use customer contact information from the
form to send you information about Brewer and merchandise offered through
our Site. Your contact information
is also used to contact you when necessary. When you buy merchandise
from our Site, we need to know, and therefore collect, your contact
information (like your name, post office address, and e-mail address)
and certain financial information (like your account information). This information that is collected is only
used for necessary records to be maintained. Linked Sites The Site may contain links
to other sites. Please be aware that Brewer is not responsible for content
or the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Site and
to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects
personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected
by the Site. Children’s Privacy This Site is not directed
at children under the age of 21 and does not knowingly collect personal
information from children under the age of 21. If Brewer obtains actual knowledge that it
has obtained personal information about a child under the age of 21,
that information is immediately and permanently deleted from our records. Opt-Out If you prefer that we
not disclose nonpublic personal information about you to nonaffiliated
third parties, you may opt out of those disclosures, that is, you may
direct us not to make those disclosures (other than disclosures permitted
by law). If you wish to opt out of disclosures to nonaffiliated third
parties, you may email customer service at customerservice@peteswicked.com. Changes
to Privacy Policy We
may occasionally change this Privacy Policy.
If we do, we will post the changes on the Site. The changes will take effect as soon as posted. Contact Information If you have a comment,
