We only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, maintain business records, and meet legal, tax or accounting requirements.

If you join the mailing list, your information will be kept until you unsubscribe or ask for it to be removed.

Cookies


This website may use cookies or similar technologies to help the site function properly and, if enabled, to understand how visitors use the site.

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website may be used without consent, but non-essential cookies and similar technologies generally require consent. ICO guidance explains that PECR sits alongside UK GDPR for cookies and similar technologies. 

If you later add analytics, tracking or advertising tools, this section should be updated to reflect that clearly.

Your Rights


You may have the right to:

Request access to the personal information we hold about you

Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected

Ask for information to be deleted in certain circumstances

Object to or restrict certain processing

Withdraw consent where consent is being relied on

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@winegallerytastings.com.

Complaints


If you have concerns about how your information is handled, we would welcome the chance to address them first.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. ICO guidance says a privacy notice should explain people’s rights and how they can complain. 

Changes To This Privacy Policy


This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services or legal requirements. The latest version will always be published on this page.
