This Day in Wine History (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use thisdayinwinehistory.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Information you give us. When you contact us through a form, subscribe to our newsletter, or apply to write for us, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, email address, and anything you include in your message or submission.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we receive standard technical data when you visit — browser type, device, general location, referring pages, and how you move through the site.
- Analytics. We use analytics tools to measure traffic and improve our content. These tools set cookies and collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to respond to your messages and requests; send our newsletter and occasional updates to subscribers; operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content; and understand our audience so we can make the site better.
Email and the newsletter
If you subscribe, we send periodic emails with new articles, wine history features, and occasional recommendations or wine-travel opportunities. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them for essential site functionality, to remember preferences, and for analytics. You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well if you do.
Affiliate links and sponsored content
This Day in Wine History participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. When you click certain links — for example, our book or wine recommendations — and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These links may set cookies from the retailer. Any sponsored or paid message will be clearly identified as such.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate the site and send our email (such as our hosting and email providers), only as needed to provide those services, or when required by law.
Third-party sites
Our site links to other websites we do not control. This policy does not cover their practices, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Children’s privacy
Our site is intended for adults of legal drinking age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time, and you can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing hello@thisdayinwinehistory.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
