We do not share your information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and Analytics
The Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze visitor interactions. The information generated (including a truncated or anonymized form of your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google. Google’s use of this data is governed by its own privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
You can control cookies through your browser settings. You may also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across the web by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from using the Site.
4. How We Share Information
We disclose Personal Information only to trusted service providers that help us operate our business, subject to strict data protection obligations:
- Netlify, Inc. — Hosts the Site and securely processes contact form submissions.
- Google LLC — Provides web analytics services as described above.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Semele Vine Collective, LLC, our clients, or the public. In the event of a business sale, merger, or reorganization, information may be transferred as an asset.
5. Email Communications
We currently use your contact information only to respond to active inquiries. If we introduce a marketing newsletter in the future, it will be strictly opt-in, and every email will include a clear unsubscribe link. Opting out of marketing will not impact communications regarding an ongoing business engagement.
6. Data Retention
We retain inquiry information for as long as necessary to fulfill your request, evaluate potential advisory engagements, and maintain professional records of our communications, or as required by law. Analytics data is retained according to the automated retention schedules configured within our Google Analytics account.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
