Privacy Policy

MacMurray Ranch created this Privacy Policy to inform our website users, club members, event registrants/participants, newsletter/information recipients, promotion participants, online community participants, those who purchase or inquire about our products and services, and others (collectively referred to as "customers") about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of personally identifiable information ("personal data") that we collect from them. This Privacy Policy does not apply, however, to MacMurray Ranch employees, employment applicants, suppliers, distributors, or trade contacts except when they are acting in a "customer" capacity; in all other circumstances, other policies apply. While MacMurray Ranch websites or other materials may include links or references to non-MacMurray Ranch websites, materials, or entities, this Privacy Policy does not apply to those non-MacMurray Ranch sites, materials, or entities unless otherwise indicated.

Your Consent
You should read this entire Privacy Policy before submitting information to MacMurray Ranch or using any MacMurray Ranch website. Whenever you submit information via a MacMurray Ranch website site or otherwise to MacMurray Ranch, whether online or offline, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Intended Audience of Websites Given the nature of MacMurray Ranch's business, our websites are intended only for individuals who are of legal drinking age. As a result, our websites do not request or knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the legal drinking age. If you are not of legal drinking age, you should not visit or use MacMurray Ranch websites.

Information Collection and Use MacMurray Ranch may collect personal data from customers both online and offline. In many cases, such information will be collected directly from you, such as through a transaction or inquiry, or your submission of a form, registration, or communication to us. Information may also be gathered from third-party sources (including without limitation, opt-in lists, publicly available data, consumer reporting agencies, other companies, and referrals) and through your activities and interactions with us. We may combine data collected from these disparate sources unless we tell you otherwise. More Details

As you use MacMurray Ranch websites, some information can be "passively" collected using various technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, and navigational data collection (clickstream, log files, server logs). Your Internet browser automatically transmits some of this information, such as the URL of the website you just visited and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser version currently being used by your computer. Such technologies help us to keep track of your interactions with our websites and provide you with a more customized experience. More Details

MacMurray Ranch uses personal data about customers for a wide range of purposes. We use it to respond to your requests (including requests for newsletter subscriptions, materials, coupons/rebates/discounts, and so on); to provide products or services that you have ordered; to process your order transactions and contact you regarding your order; to provide materials you have requested; to invite and help you participate in a range of online and offline events, activities, and/or clubs; to allow you to post information and other content online; to improve our products, services, and websites; to follow up with you after you have communicated with us or submitted information to us; to send promotional communications or offers (unless you have requested that we not send such communications); for marketing and research purposes; for internal and/or external training, quality assurance, and other purposes (including without limitation, call center recordings); to permit you to participate in and to otherwise administer sweepstakes, promotions, and contests; to allow you to contact another person; for legal and contractual reasons; to address your interests and concerns; and as otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy and/or at the point of personal data collection. More Details

We may disclose personal data you provide to our affiliates and partners and to consultants, service providers, and contractors that we use to support our business and operations (e.g., delivery services, financial institutions, fulfillment services, technical support, advertising, public relations, media and marketing services, sweepstakes and contest-related services, legal services, call-in centers, e-commerce and other web-related services such as web hosting and web monitoring services, and event-related services such as online and offline data capture services) who have agreed to keep the information confidential and use it only to provide the applicable service(s). In some cases, we work with other companies who help to gather information from you or help us to communicate with you.

Where the law allows it, MacMurray Ranch may share customers' personal data with affiliates or with selected third-party partners to enable them to market their or other selected third parties' products and services to you.

We may also disclose personal data to third parties (including without limitation, governmental agencies) if required to do so by law, regulation, or court order; to respond to governmental and/or law enforcement requests; to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interfering with our (or others') rights or property; to support any claim, defense, or declaration in a case or before any jurisdictional and/or administrative authority, arbitration, or mediation panel; or in connection with disciplinary actions/investigations. Likewise, we may disclose personal data to third parties in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this site.

The recipients of customers' personal data, and more generally these disclosures, may be located in the United States or other jurisdictions that might not provide a level of protection equivalent to the laws in your jurisdiction. By submitting personal data to MacMurray Ranch, you consent to the transfer of such personal data outside your jurisdiction.

We may make full use of all information that is de-identified or otherwise not in personally identifiable form, including without limitation, user-generated content.

Security MacMurray Ranch takes appropriate steps to protect personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, whether in transmission or storage. Please keep in mind, however, that there is no such thing as perfect security, and no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. Moreover, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any user name and password you use.

It's Your Choice: Contact Preferences We want to keep in touch with you in ways that you find to be beneficial. By submitting personal contact information, you are agreeing that we may communicate with you via email, telephone, direct mail, and/or other means of communication. If you don't want us to use your contact information for promotional purposes (such as to tell you about other products and services that might be of interest, or to offer coupons/discounts), please tell us that when you provide your contact information. You can also let us know your preference later by contacting us as specified in the "Contact Us" section below, or by following the instructions in various communications that we may send you. Keep in mind that these preferences regarding promotional contacts do not mean that we might not contact you for other reasons, such as those related to an order you placed, an inquiry you made, a message that a friend or acquaintance requested be delivered (such as through our tell-a-friend/invite-a-friend features), a newsletter to which you may have subscribed, a membership you undertook, an event for which you registered, a legally required notice, and so on.

MacMurray Ranch collects personal data about its customers in a number of ways. In this section, we describe what types of personal data we collect, the ways we collect it, and how we use it. While we have tried to be complete, this list is not necessarily exhaustive, given that these activities can vary from time to time.

The types of personal data typically collected by MacMurray Ranch may include the following, depending on your activities:

  • Contact information, including name, title, street address (home, work, billing, shipping), postal code, country, telephone numbers (home, work, cell, etc.), email address (home, work), company name, and other similar information.

  • Authentication information, including user IDs, log-in names, passwords, password reminders, etc. (in addition to other personal data such as contact information, birth date, and the like).
  • Transactional and financial Information, including products or services you purchase, inquire about, or request; payment information; debit/credit card information, and so on.
  • Preferences, views, and comments, including beverage preferences and consumption frequency, subscriptions/communications preferences, feedback in response to surveys, etc.

Information Collection and Use Details

As is the case with many websites, MacMurray Ranch websites may use cookies and other automated information collection means. Cookies are information about you from the website that is stored on your browser or hard drive. Cookies save you time because you do not need to manually re-enter the information stored on your hard drive. Cookies also help us upgrade the website by showing when and how users use the site. You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of MacMurray Ranch websites might not work without cookies.

MacMurray Ranch websites may also use IP addresses for the same purposes identified above, as well as to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

We may use web beacons (also known as Internet tags or clear GIFs) on our websites to access and set cookies and otherwise help us to better understand how users are moving through our websites. Information provided by the web beacon includes the computer's IP address, the type of browser being used, and the time that the web beacon was viewed. We may also use web beacons in emails and newsletters so that we know when such communications have been opened and to otherwise help us tailor our communications to individual users.

We use personal data about customers in contexts that include the following:

  • Conducting and following up on transactions. MacMurray Ranch may use personal information such as name, title, street address, phone number, email address, title, company name, payment information, and debit/credit card information to conduct transactions with you, process your order, contact you about your order, and so on.
  • Registration (events, memberships, accounts (i.e., log-ins and passwords, etc.)) and participation in online communities/provision of user-generated content. Customers may be given an opportunity to register for a variety of reasons, including to become/be a member of a wine club; to receive promotional communications/offers; to join/participate in an online community, blog, chatroom, or other interactive areas or to otherwise provide user-generated content (such as posting favorite photos/videos/audio recordings, providing testimonials, sharing experiences about MacMurray Ranch products, etc.); to attend an event (e.g., a winery tasting panel, a home party, a members party, etc.); and so on. Such activities may entail collection of name, title, contact information, birth date, user name and password, beverage preferences, experiences with MacMurray Ranch products, and personal information/preferences related to the subject matter of the particular activity. In some cases, you will select a user ID and password when you register, and you will use this to gain access to certain registration-restricted areas. Note that using a MacMurray Ranch website as a registered user enables information that is passively collected as you navigate the site to be associated with personal data actively collected from you on the site. MacMurray Ranch may use and/or disclose any personal data captured in an online community. You are responsible for any postings you make in any online community. Before submitting any user-generated content, you should review and adhere to any applicable Terms of Use and also keep in mind that anything you make available as a participant in an online community or submit for posting by MacMurray Ranch may be made available for others to see; you should therefore carefully consider whether you wish to submit personal data, or any data, for these purposes. Any content submitted to an online community will be subject to the applicable Terms of Use; therefore, please read such terms carefully prior to submitting or posting any information. We reserve the right not to post or make available any data submitted to us, as further described in the applicable Terms of Use.
  • Contacting others on your behalf. MacMurray Ranch offers a number of opportunities for reaching out to friends through "tell-a-friend"" features (e.g., about our websites) or "invite-a-friend" opportunities (e.g., to a party you are hosting), or when you purchase gifts to send to friends. Depending on the feature, we may ask you for your name and contact information (plus registration information, where applicable) as well as your friend's name, email address, street address, phone number, and birth date (the latter for age verification, given restrictions associated with alcoholic beverages). We use the personal data that you provide about others to fulfill your one-time request and do not use it to contact the friend again unless you or your friend request that we do so. If you are purchasing a gift for a friend, we will also collect transaction information, as discussed above.
  • To follow up with you after you have completed a form, business reply card, or survey, whether online or offline. When you attend an event where MacMurray Ranch brands are present, you might fill in an optional form, telling us your name, title, email address, beverage consumption preferences, whether you attended past events, your postal code, comments, whether you would like us to contact you in the future, and/or other information. Likewise, you might choose to participate in an online or offline survey (anonymously or with name/contact information) where you provide demographic information, your beverage consumption information, and survey-specific preference data. We use the personal data you provide to improve our products and services, our website content, and otherwise to more effectively communicate with you.
  • To contact us with questions, comment, or concerns. We provide a number of ways for you to contact us to ask questions, provide comments, or share concerns. This may occur, for example, via the MacMurray Ranch Consumer Information Center (by calling a designated phone number), "contact us" sections on MacMurray Ranch websites, or postal mail. Depending on the circumstances, we may collect your name, title, contact information, age group, product UPC number, message type, case number (if tied to a previous issue), comments, and other types of data relevant to the specific situation (e.g., product involved, use of the product, any problems with the product, and the like). For training, quality assurance, and legal compliance purposes, we may also record calls to the MacMurray Ranch Consumer Information Center.
  • To provide materials you request. We provide a number of ways for you to request materials from us, such as newsletters, coupons, rebates, brochures, product literature, and the like. MacMurray Ranch may collect and use contact name, title, contact information, age-indicative information, demographic information, preferences, transaction information (related to rebates) and other information relevant to responding to your request.
  • To permit your participation in contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions. To participate in sweepstakes, contests and other similar promotions, we often collect name, title, contact information, age-indicative information, and gender, as well as other information related to the particular activity. We will indicate which information is required (e.g., to contact winners, to verify eligibility to participate, etc.) and which is optional (e.g., demographic information, preferences, etc., designed to help us better understand you and address your interests).
  • For marketing purposes (unless you have told us otherwise). We may use your contact information to tell you about other products and services that we believe might be of interest. If at any time you do not want communications for promotional purposes, please let us know (see the "It's Your Choice" section of the Privacy Policy).
