Information Collection and Use 

We collect the following categories of personal information, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act:

• Identifiers (name, postal address, email address, phone number, account name, date of birth).
• Commercial information (purchase history, allocation history, mailing list membership status, products considered).
• Internet or other electronic network activity information (browsing on our site, interactions with our emails, cookie and pixel data).
• Geolocation data (approximate location derived from IP address; we do not collect precise GPS location).
• Financial information (limited to payment card information, which is processed by our payment processor and not retained by us).
• Inferences drawn from the above to create a profile reflecting your preferences and engagement with our wines.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as Social Security number, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health information, or biometric data) from website visitors.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain each category of personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of providing our products and services, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Specifically: mailing list and account information is retained for as long as you remain a member or customer, plus a reasonable period thereafter for legal and tax recordkeeping (typically up to seven years). Marketing analytics data is generally retained for up to 26 months. Payment information is not retained by us — it is held by our payment processor in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), provides you with the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right to Know. You may request that we disclose the categories of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business purpose for collecting it, the categories of third parties with whom we share it, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

Right to Delete. You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (for example, completing a transaction, complying with a legal obligation, or detecting fraud).

Right to Correct. You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. You may request that we not sell or share your personal information. We do not sell personal information for money.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. If we collect sensitive personal information about you, you may request that we limit its use to purposes necessary to perform the services you requested.

Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We will not deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised a CCPA right.

Shine the Light. In addition to the above, residents of California may request once per year, free of charge, certain information regarding personal information we have shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, under Civil Code Section 1798.83.

How to Submit a Request. To submit a privacy rights request, you may: (1) email us at contact@williamsselyem.com, or (2) call us at (707) 433-6425. We will verify your identity before responding.

Authorized Agents. You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. We will require proof of your authorization and may verify your identity directly.

Do Not Sell or Share / Global Privacy Control 

We do not sell personal information for money. If we engage in “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by California law, we provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of our website. You may also opt out of sharing by enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser. We honor GPC signals as a valid opt-out of sale and sharing for the browser session in which they are sent. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of any individual under 16 years of age.

Children’s and Minor’s Privacy 

Williams Selyem’s website is intended for adults 21 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from any individual under the age of 21. However, if the parent or guardian of a minor believes that the minor has provided us with personally identifiable information, the parent or guardian  should contact us at contact@williamsselyem.com if they want this information deleted from our files.

Cookies & Clickstream — Do Not Track Statement

The major 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, Our website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals. However, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out of sale and sharing of personal information, as required by California law.

Social Media

Any personally identifiable information you submit on a social media Web site, such as Facebook or X, bulletin board, blog, chat room, comment about a product, or any other public forum on this Web site can be read, collected or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages.

IP Addresses 

In addition, Williams Selyem uses your IP address to get an approximate location so we can find a store closest to you.

Notice at Collection

At or before the point where we collect personal information from you (for example, on our mailing list join form, account creation form, or contact form), we provide a Notice at Collection summarizing the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for collection, the retention period, and a link to this Privacy Policy. The Notice at Collection appears adjacent to the relevant form.
