COOKIES
Like many companies, we use cookies on our Sites. Cookies are pieces of information shared between your web browser and a website. Use of cookies enables a faster and easier experience for the user.
There are different kinds of cookies with different functions:

They usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page. They do not collect any information from your computer.
- Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is one stored as a file on your computer, and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again.

More specifically, our Sites use Google Analytics and Adobe Site Catalyst, which are web analytic tools provided by Google, Inc. and Adobe Inc., respectively.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Sites (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by these vendors on servers in the United States. These vendors will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Sites, compiling reports on Site activity, and providing other services relating to Site activity and internet usage for Sindhi Wines.

These vendors will not associate your IP address with any other data held by them. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, if you do block the use of cookies, you will not be able to use the full functionality of the Sites. By using the Sites, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google and Adobe in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
Along with the above noted uses, we use cookies for the following purposes: :
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the Site. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as logging into your account and using a shopping cart, cannot be provided. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but then some parts of the site will not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal or customized features. For instance, the Site needs to remember your log in details, so that you do not have to repeatedly sign in to your account when using a particular device to access our Site. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remember where you have been on the Internet.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a Site, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. They also allow us to record and count the number of visitors to the Site, all of which enables us to see how visitors use the Site in order to improve the way that our Site works. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a person, as all information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous.
- Marketing & Advertising Cookies: Sindhi Wines does not “sell” your personal information as the word “sell” is commonly understood; in other words, we are do not give your personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

These cookies may also be used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Site through third party social networking and other websites. The cookies do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and Internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising and may not be able to share pages or content you find interesting through third party social networking sites.
Please Note: We embed videos or insert links to videos from YouTube on our website(s). As a result, when you visit a page with content embedded from or linked to YouTube, you may be presented with cookies from YouTube. If you opt out of advertising and marketing cookies here, YouTube may still utilize cookies for those embedded videos and links. You can control YouTube cookies by visiting https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
For information on all of these categories of cookies, and for more information generally on cookies please refer to aboutcookies.org.
OPTING OUT OF COOKIES
There are various ways for you to manage cookies and other technologies.
Browser Settings
Through your browser settings, you can disable cookies (and other tracking tools) or request to be prompted before accepting cookies from the Sites and other websites you visit. These cookies may also permit you to delete cookies you already have. Please consult your web browser’s ‘Help’ documentation or visit aboutcookies.org. for more information about how to turn cookies on and off for your browser. If you use different browsers and computers, you will need to adjust the appropriate cookie settings for each browser and computer. Certain parts of the Site may function differently and you may not be able to use some portions of our Site if you choose to disable cookies entirely.
Third-Party Extensions
There are several browser extensions that allow you to manage cookies and personalize your browsing experience. Since these extensions are made by third party providers, Sindhi Wines does not control these features and cannot provide technical support for these products.
Targeted Advertising Cookies
You may opt out of receiving advertising cookies from companies who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who subscribe to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA’s) Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. Please visit the Network Advertising Initiative Consumer Opt-Out Page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Page to opt out directly from providers who participate in those programs.
WEB BEACONS
The Site may also use web beacons (including web beacons supplied or provided by third parties) alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about users’ usage of the Site and interaction with e-mails from Sindhi Wines. Web beacons are transparent electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you view a particular Site tied to the web beacon, and a description of a Site tied to the web beacon. We use web beacons to operate and improve the Sites and e-mail communications. We may use information from web beacons in combination with other data we have about our customers to provide you with information about Sindhi Wines and our services. We will conduct this review on an anonymous basis.
IP ADDRESSES
When you visit our Sites, Sindhi Wines collects your Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses to track and aggregate non-Personal Information. For example, Sindhi Wines uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which users navigate the Sites. IP addresses will be stored in such a way so that you cannot be identified from the IP address. In addition, Sindhi Wines uses your IP address to get an approximate location so we can find a store closest to you. We do this for both your convenience, as well as for legal compliance reasons.
DO-NOT-TRACK
The major internet browsers have attempted to implement the draft “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (“W3C”) in their latest releases. As this standard has not been finalized, Sindhi Wines’s Sites are not compatible with DNT.
Security of Your Personal Information
Whether you are shopping online or in our stores, we use reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information under our control and appropriately limit access to it. Sindhi Wines use Transport Layer Security (TLS) or equivalent encryption technologies to protect your personal information during data transport, including your name, address and credit card number. However, no security controls are failproof, and Sindhi Wines cannot completely ensure or warrant the security of your personal information. We therefore urge you to always use caution when transmitting information over the Internet.
When you create an account on Sindhi Wines you are required to establish a password between 7 and 16 characters with at least one letter and one number. Your password may not contain your first name, last name, or any spaces. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and account information. We strongly recommend that you do not share this information with others. You have the ability to purchase on our site without creating an account; however, you will need to reenter your personal information each time you use our site in order to make a purchase.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not disclose any Personal Information about you to others except as stated in this Privacy Policy, as otherwise permitted by law, or authorized by you. This Privacy Policy does not apply to privacy practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites, services, applications, online resources to which the Sites may link, embed, reference, or otherwise provide access through the Sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party sites. Please contact these third parties directly for information regarding their privacy practices.
SERVICE PROVIDERS
We use third-party service providers to enhance your consumer experience. This may include, for instance, providers who assist us with tech or customer support, operations, web or data hosting, billing, credit card processing, accounting, security, marketing, data management, validation, enhancement or hygiene, or otherwise help us to provide, develop, maintain and improve our services. These companies may use information about your visits to our Sites in order to help process delivery orders, provide personalized recommendations and advertisements about our goods and services on our Sites as well as when you visit other websites. Because service providers we use may be located in the United States, your Personal Information may be processed and stored inside the United States; and the U.S. government, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your Personal Information under U.S. laws.
THIRD PARTIES
Some areas in our site may be offered to you in association with affiliated or non-affiliated third parties, such as co-promotional partners, dedicated producers of drinks, or co-sponsors of events you may want to attend. Such co-branded areas may require you to disclose Personal Information to the third party. The co-branded areas will identify the third party; however, the third party’s privacy policy will apply to how they treat your Personal Information. We recommend you review the privacy policy of these third parties. If you elect to register for events or products with these third parties you will be providing your Personal Information to both us, and the third party.
Parts of the Sites use YouTube API Services to provide access to Sindhi Wines’s YouTube channel. You acknowledge and agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and Google’s Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy) when engaging YouTube content and services through the Sites. You may manage your YouTube API data by visiting Google’s security settings page at: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
SOCIAL MEDIA, REVIEWS, AND USER GENERATED CONTENT
Any personally identifiable information you submit on a social media website, such as Facebook or Twitter, bulletin board, blog, chat room, comment about a product, or any other public forum on our Sites, can be read, collected or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We recommend that you do not provide your name, e-mail address or any other personal information in public forums on this Site. Please note that if you choose to do so, it is at your own risk and you accept full responsibility for those posts and any consequences that may arise from posting this information.
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
As we continue to develop our businesses, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, user information, including Personal Information, generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if either Sindhi Wines itself or substantially all of Sindhi Wines assets were acquired, your Personal Information may be one of the transferred assets. Therefore, we may disclose and/or transfer your Personal Information to a third party purchaser in these circumstances.
OTHER LEGALLY REQUIRED DISCLOSURES
Sindhi Wines preserves the right to disclose without your prior permission any Personal Information about you or your use of this Site if Sindhi Wines has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Sindhi Wines, employees, other users of this Site, or the public; (b) enforce the terms and conditions that apply to use of this Site; (c) as required by a legally valid request from a competent governmental authority; or (d) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties.
