Depending on the particular processing activity, Unico and Tipple may each act as separate controllers of personal information for their respective purposes.

We may use advertising, analytics, attribution, and marketing technologies provided by third parties.
These technologies may collect or receive information such as:
- device identifiers;
- IP addresses;
- cookie identifiers;

- suppress existing customers from certain campaigns; and
- improve our marketing.
Certain third parties may collect information regarding your activities over time and across different websites or online services when their technologies are present.
We do not sell personal information to third parties for monetary compensation.
We may nevertheless disclose information to advertising, analytics, and marketing providers for the purposes described above.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use:
- cookies;
- pixels;
- tags;
- web beacons;
- local storage; and
- similar technologies.
These technologies may be used for:
- essential Site functionality;
- cart and checkout operation;
- security;
- account functionality;
- analytics;
- attribution;
- personalization; and
- advertising.
You may be able to block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Disabling essential cookies may prevent portions of the Site from functioning correctly.
9. EU Cookie Consent
For visitors in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we provide cookie-consent controls where required by applicable law.
Non-essential cookies and similar technologies used for purposes such as advertising or analytics will be activated only after consent where consent is legally required.
EEA visitors may use the cookie-preference controls made available on the Site to grant, refuse, or withdraw consent to non-essential technologies.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before consent was withdrawn.
These EU cookie controls are provided in jurisdictions where such controls are required and should not be interpreted as representing that identical privacy-choice mechanisms are available in every jurisdiction.
10. Do Not Track
Some internet browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal.
There is currently no universally accepted standard governing how websites should interpret all DNT signals.
Accordingly, our Site does not currently respond to general browser DNT signals, except where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular privacy mechanism.
Third-party advertising and analytics providers may have their own practices regarding DNT signals.
This section describes our current tracking practice for purposes of applicable California online-privacy disclosure requirements.
11. Email Marketing
If you subscribe to our marketing emails, we may use your email address and related engagement information to send Tinto Amorío news, offers, product information, and other promotional communications.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in a marketing email.
Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending transactional communications concerning an order, subscription, account, customer-service request, security issue, or other non-marketing matter.
12. SMS Marketing
If you expressly opt in to SMS marketing, we may use your telephone number and messaging activity to send recurring promotional or informational messages.
Consent to SMS marketing is not required to purchase our products.
Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out by replying STOP.
We may use a third-party messaging provider to administer our SMS program.
13. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to:
Service Providers
Companies that perform functions for us, including ecommerce, payment, fulfillment, shipping, communications, analytics, advertising, and technology services.
Tipple
For European purchases where Tipple acts as Merchant of Record.
Advertising and Marketing Partners
For measurement, attribution, advertising, audience creation, and related marketing functions.
Professional Advisers
Lawyers, accountants, insurers, auditors, consultants, or other advisers where reasonably necessary.
Corporate Transactions
Potential buyers, investors, lenders, advisers, or other parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
Legal and Safety Purposes
Government authorities, law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other parties when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect legal rights, safety, security, or prevent fraud.
With Your Direction
Other parties when you request or authorize us to disclose information.
14. Aggregated and De-identified Information
We may create aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual.
We may use or disclose such information for analytics, business planning, marketing measurement, or other lawful purposes.
15. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Retention periods may depend on:
- whether you maintain an account or subscription;
- our relationship with you;
- transaction and tax-record requirements;
- alcohol-compliance obligations;
- fraud-prevention needs;
- legal requirements;
- contractual requirements; and
- dispute-resolution needs.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and technical limitations.
16. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.
These measures may include access controls, encrypted communications, vendor controls, authentication, and security technologies.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
17. Reviewing or Correcting Your Information
You may contact us at info@drinktinto.com to request that we review or correct personal information you previously provided directly to Unico.
We may need to verify your identity before making material changes.
Certain information associated with transactions may need to be retained even after a correction or account request for legal, tax, compliance, or recordkeeping purposes.
18. California Online Privacy Disclosures
Unico's Site collects the categories of information described in this Privacy Policy, including identifiers, contact information, commercial information, website activity, device information, and marketing information.
We disclose information to the categories of recipients described above, including service providers and advertising, analytics, fulfillment, and marketing partners.
Certain third parties may collect information about a visitor's online activities over time and across different websites when third-party advertising or analytics technologies are present on the Site.
As described in the Do Not Track section, the Site does not currently respond to general browser DNT signals because no uniform standard governs such signals.
We will update this Privacy Policy if our material information practices change.
Unico does not currently represent that it is a “business” subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act solely by virtue of operating this Site, and this Privacy Policy does not create consumer rights that do not otherwise apply under law.
For questions regarding our privacy practices, contact info@drinktinto.com.
19. EEA Privacy Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area and Unico processes your personal information subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), you may have the right, subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, to:
- obtain access to your personal information;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of personal information;
- request restriction of processing;

20. EEA Legal Bases for Processing
Where GDPR applies to Unico, we process personal information under one or more lawful bases depending on the circumstances.
Contract
We may process information where necessary to provide requested services, administer accounts or subscriptions, or facilitate a transaction.
Legitimate Interests
We may process information where necessary for legitimate business interests, such as:

Legal Obligations
We may process information where necessary to comply with legal, regulatory, tax, alcohol-compliance, accounting, or other obligations.
21. International Transfers
Unico is based in the United States.
Information processed by Unico may therefore be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate.
Those countries may have data-protection laws that differ from those in the EEA.
Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we or our service providers may use legally recognized mechanisms such as contractual safeguards, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
22. Children and Minors
Our Site markets alcoholic beverages and is not directed to children.
We do not knowingly solicit personal information from individuals who are below the legal age to purchase alcohol through the Site.
U.S. purchasers must be at least 21 years old.
If you believe a minor has provided personal information to us improperly, contact info@drinktinto.com.
23. Third-Party Sites
Our Site may link to third-party websites or services.
This Privacy Policy does not govern information collected independently by those third parties.
We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with information.
24. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in:
- our business;
