Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT
We, Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD, want to give you the best experience possible. We use the personal information you share with us to make our products and services and your experience even better. This privacy statement aims to give you a clear view of how we use personal information that you provide, our dedication to protecting it, your rights and the options you have to control your personal information and protect your privacy. It also outlines what personal information we collect about you when you visit our websites/associated platforms, how we use your personal information and the third parties we will share it with. We use personal information for various purposes, as described in detail below.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU
“Personal information” is any information about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD will collect various types of personal information and special categories of personal information about you, including the following (as applicable):
INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY
We will also collect personal information about you when you interact with our brand, websites and apps, including how you use them, as follows:
- Websites: we will collect information about the Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD websites that you visit and how you use them. A visit to one of our websites results in data being sent from your browser to our servers. We will collect personal information in this way, such as:
- your IP address;
- the date and time of the visit and how long you remained on our website;
- the referral URL (the site from which the visitor has come);
- the pages visited on our website; and
- information about the device and browser (such as, browser type and version, operating system, etc).
- Cookies and similar devices: We and our partners use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit our websites/associated platforms, and this will include sending one or more cookies or other similar devices to your device. Click here for more information about our use of cookies and similar devices and how to disable them.
- Location information: When you use a location-enabled service, we will provide you a just in time notice to collect and process information about your actual location, for instance through GPS signals sent by a mobile device. We will also use various technologies to determine location, such as sensor data from your device that may, for example, provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points, Near Field Communication (“NFC”) points and mobile network cell towers. You can generally disable sending your location through settings in your device, and we will inform you when we make use of location information.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Most of the information we collect about you will be personal information that you have voluntarily provided to us, for example, through our websites/associated platforms. Other sources from whom we may obtain your personal information include:
- Point of Sale systems ([i.e. certain information may be collected about you when you make a purchase in a store]);
- other Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD platforms; and
- third parties (such as law enforcement/regulatory bodies, and companies providing commercially available databases etc.).
HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The personal information we collect will be used in the format that it is received, or, where appropriate, will be combined with personal information we obtain from other internal or external sources. We use and analyse this personal information for the various other purposes detailed below:
- Improving our products and services: we will use your personal information to build a profile on you in order to understand how you use our products and services, to develop more interesting and relevant products and services, as well as to personalise the products and services we offer you.
- Customer service: if you contact our Customer Service (or vice versa), we will use personal information such as your order information and contact history to process your request and provide you with the best service possible.
- Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD products and services, engagements and offerings: we will use your personal information to provide you with the products and services you have requested from us, such as promotions, membership of Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD communities (where applicable), Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD loyalty programs, events and other unlisted applications. This will, if applicable, include the use of your personal information for submission in contests, Prize Giveaways and promotions, using your contact details for events;
- for the reasons set out in the “improving our products and services” section below; and
- for the reasons set out in the “marketing purposes” section below.
- Marketing: when you sign up to receive newsletters, order or provide feedback on a product or service online or use our website, we will use your personal information to create a profile based on the information we hold about you. We create your profile in accordance with your preferences in order to provide you with the best personalised experience, to send you personalised marketing messages and newsletters and for opinion research purposes. Below you can find a more detailed description of the ways in which we will use your personal information for these purposes.
- What kind of information: the way you interact with our brand across all the different channels described above (e.g. the Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD website, social media and marketing messages we send you) and the information we collect in that regard from each of these channels provides us valuable information about your interests and preferences. This insight gives us the opportunity to offer you the best Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD experience possible. To learn about you and your interests, we analyse your interactions with our brand using various kinds of information, as set out above. In particular, we may combine the information we collect with information collected by third parties. If you have given us your consent to send you marketing communications, we use the information that you have provided to us when interacting with us for sending you personalised marketing messages about Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD products or services, events, Prize Giveaways and promotions. In some instances we will also aggregate your personal information with that of other individuals, to create comprehensive reports about how customers use our products and services, and experience our brand.
- What kind of channels: we will send direct marketing communications to you via the channel you choose, such as email, phone, or social media. We ask for your consent, where required by applicable law, in order to use the contact details you have provided to us to send our personalised marketing communications.
- What kind of messages: the messages we will send you will be personalised and tailored to your individual preferences and interests. We use analytics in order to generate such personalised messages. These direct marketing messages may contain information about our products and services, events, Prize Giveaways or promotions and Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD news. We will, in certain circumstances, also use the channels for opinion research (such as to ask if you would like to participate in a survey) and to learn about your experience and improve your experience with Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD, including by sending you personalised messages.
- Re-targeting: our websites and associated platforms use re-targeting technologies. This enables us to show our visitors, who were already interested in Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD and our products and/or services, advertisements from us on partner websites. We believe that the display of personalised, interest-based advertising is more interesting and relevant to our customers than advertising that does not have a personal connection. Re-targeting technologies analyse the information we collect about your interactions with each Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD platform as described in relation to marketing above, including your cookies, and display advertisements based on your past web-surfing behaviour. Please click here for further information on cookies and instructions on how to disable re-targeting. Note that our sites generally are not configured to respond to web browser do-not-track signals.
- Ads: we also work with non-Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD companies who use tracking technologies to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet. These companies may collect personal information about your visits to our websites or apps and your interaction with our communications, including advertising.
- Enrichment of our data: where we have obtained your personal information from various sources we will combine this information in certain circumstances in order to enrich our understanding of your requirements and preferences in relation to our Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD products and services. For example, we may combine information you have provided us directly with information collected automatically, such as metadata or IP addresses or where we have collected anonymous browsing data through the use of cookies, we may later determine that this data relates to your browsing history and combine that data with the existing information we hold on you. We may also combine this information with other information (both-personal and anonymised) that we have obtained from third parties. We may use the information we hold to correlate your interactions with us via one device (such as a browser on a computer) with your interactions with us via another device (such as an app on a phone). Specifically, we may carry out any of these exercises to be able to send you more personalised marketing or to prepare more effective marketing campaigns.
- Improving our products and services: we will use the personal information we hold about you (as well as pseudonymised or anonymised information generated from your personal information) to carry out analysis and research, including:
- data science/analytics, whereby we combine information (such as personal information and/or sensitive personal information we have obtained through the use of a Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD sporting app or from your browsing history) we hold on a large scale in order:
- learn more about our customers and their preferences;
- to identify patterns and trends amongst our customers;
- enhance user experience on our websites;
- provide information, content and offerings tailored to our customers’ needs;
- for general research and statistical purposes; and
- for aggregated reporting purposes within the Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD Group;
- develop new products and services;
- monitor performance of our products and services and/or improve our technology;
- to be able to send you personalised marketing messages;
- to display online ads to you.
- Websites: personal information collected through our websites, such as via cookies or other tracking technologies, will be used to allow us to assess browsing behaviours on our websites, to understand where improvements can be made, to optimise our products and services and personalise and improve your experience on our websites and apps.
- Performance analysis: we will use your personal information (including by anonymising and aggregating it with other customers’ personal information) for sales, supply chain and financial analysis purposes, to determine how Gage Roads Brewing Co LTD is performing and where improvements can be made and where necessary to report back to our parent or affiliate group companies.
- We will ask for your consent if we wish to use your personal information for purposes other than those listed in this privacy statement (unless such use is otherwise required or authorised by or under applicable law).
