Astor Wines & Spirits 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.astorwines.com.
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.
Cookies are small pieces of information that many web sites use to make online navigation easier. This
data is contained on your hard drive in a file that your web browser provides for this purpose. A cookie
can contain information such as a user ID. Our site cannot read other data on your hard drive, nor read
cookies created by other sites. You must have cookies enabled in order to view our site.
Our site uses cookies to keep track of your content during visits to the site, and to identify you as you
move about the site or when you return to the site later.
Our site uses an order form for purchasing. When you begin the ordering process, you are sent to our
secure server to ensure the security and safety of information collected during ordering. You will notice
at this point that the site address (URL) changes to the secure server of the company that hosts our web
site. However, this company will never, in any way, use your personal information.
We collect visitors’ contact information (such as their email addresses) and financial information (such
as their account or credit card numbers). Contact information from the order form is used to send orders
to our customers. Customers’ contact information is used to get in touch with them when necessary to
process their orders. Financial information that is collected is used to check the users' qualifications
and to bill the user for products and services.
Astor Wines & Spirits 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 Astor Wines & Spirits and our customers, or others.
