Privacy
Information Collection and Use
Beerzone is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this
information to others in ways different from what is
disclosed in this statement. Beerzone collects information
from our users at several different points on our website..
Order
We request information from the user on our order forms.
Here a user must provide contact information (like name
and shipping address) and financial information (like
credit card number, expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this
contact information is used to get in touch with the
user.
Cookies
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site
(for example, advertisers). However, we have no access
to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
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.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please
be aware that we, Beerzone are not responsible for
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 web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected
by this Web site. Newsletter If a user wishes to subscribe
to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such
as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from
users via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the
user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include
contact information (such as name and shipping address),
and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Contact information will be used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Survey information will be used for
purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.
Security
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 registration/order form
asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit
card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page,
such as our order form, 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 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 employees 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.
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and
privacy practices.
Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are
added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can
do to ensure our customers' information is protected.
Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment, behind
a locked cage. If you have any questions about the security
at our website, you can send an email to security@beerzone.net.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify
password and username. Established members will occasionally
receive information on products, services, special deals,
and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of
our users we present the option to not receive these
types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out
below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement
updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain important information about
the service. We communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account via email.
Newsletter
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or
promotional materials from our partners may opt-out
of receiving these communications by replying with unsubscribe
in the subject line in the email or email us at support@beerzone.net
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes on our Homepage so our users are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If
at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at
the time it was collected, we will notify users by way
of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner.
We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
