Blue Mountains Liquor Company Privacy Policy
Welcome to our privacy policy. It’s not as fun as tasting our spirits, but it’s just as important! Our commitment to maintaining the privacy of the information we collect is as strong as our commitment to making great spirits! We believe in transparency, not surprises. And we believe in following the law to it’s upmost.
Yes, but why?
The Privacy Act of 1988 requires all Australian companies to offer a privacy policy. The act regulates the handling of personal information, including data collection, usage, storage, and disclosure. So that’s why we’ve set out here what personal information we collect, what we do with it and your choices and rights.
Now to get into the details:
Analytics
Our website collects personal data to power our site analytics. It’s like how a bartender remembers your favourite drink, but less personal and more about your browser, network, and device. We also keep track of web pages you visited prior to coming to our website and your IP address. It’s not stalking, we promise!
