4. Use of Personal Information
We will only use personal information for the purpose outlined at the time of the collection of the information (for example, if you have purchased wine from us). We will not use your information to market to you unless we have your implied or express consent. For example:
– if you purchased wine from us (or registered to do so), enquired about our products, or entered a promotion in relation to our products, we may imply your consent to receive marketing material about those products, or other products that we think will be of interest to you.
If you receive electronic communications from us, we will always provide you with an opportunity to unsubscribe from receiving further information from us.
