Personal Information
When you join the Winetopia International websites we will ask you for your contact details so we can send you information relevant to your enquiries.
The information you have given us will be used to inform you of offers, special releases, art events, wine tastings, dinners and other benefits you can enjoy as a result of you being a Member.
When mailing offers, we provide your name and postal details to a mailing house or, on occasion, to a supplier's mailing house. No other information is passed on. The parties using these details are obliged to delete all records immediately after use.
We sometimes employ researchers or consultants to study various aspects of our Member database. It is possible that a researcher may contact or invite you to participate in a focus group aimed at improving our offers and service. Other consultants may employ database-profiling tools – again aimed at improving service and offers for your benefit. The data is studied as part of a 'population' not as individual entries.
We do not sell or rent our Member list or any part of it to any other parties.
