Privacy

Wine Gems has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for this web site: www.winegems.net.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer this web site. We log IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to track a user's specific session, or to investigate cases of fraud or other security violations on our site. Any personally identifiable information contained in our IP address logs will be treated with the same respect for your privacy as order and registration information is. The aggregate of IP addresses used to access our site may be analyzed to provide broad demographic information about the community of users on the site.

Wine Gems does not sell, rent, or give away your personal information to anyone. We only release shipping information to the third party shipping company (such as UPS), and we only release credit card information to the actual credit card company for approval and authorization. Additionally, we may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to a) comply with the law, b) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements, or c) protect the rights, property, or safety of Wine Gems and our customers, or others.
