SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

Please see our “Cookies and Web Beacons” section of our Privacy Policy for more information.

USE AND DISCLOSURE (“SALE”) OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we did not “sell” your personal information in exchange for money. However, under the terms of the CCPA, the “sale” of personal information is broad and may also include any transfer to another business or third party for valuable consideration. Under this broad definition, we have shared identifiers (as defined above) with entities that compile personal information about prospective or current Big Hammer Wines customers who reside in California for purposes of updating, verifying or deduplicating personal information, prospecting new potential customers, and improving the types of services and products we offer to you.

In addition, we may collect internet or electronic network activity information (as defined above) from you through cookies on our Website for a variety of purposes, including personalized advertising and facilitating your activity on social media.  And these activities may also fall within the broad definition of “sale” in the CCPA. Please refer to our “Cookies and Web Beacons” section of our Privacy Policy Cookie Policy to further understand your privacy options.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

The CCPA provides consumers (who are California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

ACCESS TO SPECIFIC INFORMATION AND DATA PORTABILITY RIGHTS

You have the right to request that Big Hammer Wines discloses certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.

• The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
• If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:

• sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and

• disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

DELETION REQUEST RIGHTS

You have the right to request that Big Hammer Wines delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
8. Comply with a legal obligation.
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

EXERCISING ACCESS, DATA PORTABILITY, AND DELETION RIGHTS

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at 619-567-9244
• Emailing us at sales@bighammerwines.com

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

RESPONSE TIMING AND FORMAT

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

PERSONAL INFORMATION SALES OPT-OUT RIGHTS

You have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time, by contacting us at our “Contact Information” below.  We do not sell our wine products to persons under the age of 21.  We do not maintain, to our knowledge, personal information of any consumer who is 16 years of age or less, because we do not sell to persons under the age of 21.  If you have asked to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information, we will act on your request as soon as reasonably possible and notify third parties, if applicable, as required by the CCPA. We reserve the right to refuse to process an opt-out request based on a reasonable, good-faith, and documented belief that an opt-out request is fraudulent.

NON-DISCRIMINATION

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.

• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

OPT-IN TO FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE

We make various offers and financial incentives to our customers. The terms of any such offer or financial incentive will be presented to you at the time you receive our offer. The nature and value of any such offer or financial incentive may differ depending on what information we collect and use about you and whether you choose to enroll in our BHW Real Wine Club or Hobson’s Choice Wine Club. For details about the benefits of enrolment in our BHW Real Wine Club or Hobson’s Choice Wine Club, please see the BHW Real Wine Club and Hobson’s Choice Wine Club Terms & Conditions.

Whether you choose to enroll in our BHW Real Wine Club or Hobson’s Choice Wine Club and whether you choose to allow us to collect and use other types of personal information about you affects how we communicate with you and the types and frequency of offers that you may receive. For example, if we collect no information from you, we will be unable to make any offers to you other than through general advertising. When you enroll in our BHW Real Wine Club or Hobson’s Choice Wine Club or otherwise allow us to continue to collect and use personal information about you, we are able to provide you different, more tailored or customized, and possibly more valuable offers and financial incentives than the ones we may choose to make through our general advertising.

The value of your personal information that allows us to make these offers and financial incentives is the value of the offer itself. We calculate the value of our offers and financial incentives by using the expense related to the offer.

Whether or not you are a member of our BHW Real Wine Club or Hobson’s Choice Wine Club, you may withdraw from receiving any of our offers or financial incentives by contacting us at sales@bighammerwines.com or call 619-567-9244 or by unsubscribing to our email marketing by clicking "Unsubscribe" link in any e-mail from us.  See “Information and Opt-Out Procedure” in our Privacy Policy for more information.
