Information Collection and Use
Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site. Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways other than as disclosed in this statement.

Cookies
Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery may deposit cookies on user's hard drives. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, a user does not have to log in a password more than once which saves time while on our site. Users who reject the cookie may still use the site, but they may be limited in some areas.

Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery also works with third-party companies to serve ads when you visit www.karahestate.com. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to www.karahestate.com in order to provide advertisements on our site about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement on the site and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing of Information
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and sponsors. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

We use third-party vendors to provide services on the Web site, such as sending email messages to subscribers. The information that a user submits on the site will be provided to our vendor on a confidential basis for the sole purpose of delivering Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery's communications to users who have 'opted in' to receive them. Your email address will not be shared with any other third party.

We may, however, release information provided by a user to the extent it is required to be disclosed pursuant to a valid order or requirement of a governmental agency or court.

Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage our users to be aware of when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Newsletters
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter or other email services, we may ask for contact information such as name and email address. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. This information is not shared with or sold to anyone for any purpose, except in accordance with this privacy policy.

From time to time, Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery may email our newsletter subscribers a request to complete user surveys and/or events that we believe are of interest. This may include promotions from a related third-party sponsor. Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery will never share your information directly with a third party, except in accordance with this privacy policy.

Choice/Opt Out
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletters or other communications can unsubscribe by sending an email to unsubscribe@karahestate.com with “remove” in the subject line.

User Surveys
From time to time, we may request information from users and newsletter subscribers via surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as ZIP code, age, etc.). Contact information may be used to notify winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Security
Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery has implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. When users submit sensitive information via the web site, Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery uses commercially reasonable efforts to protect their information both online and offline. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. Thus, you acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.

If and when our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or Social Security number), that information will be encrypted and protected with encryption software called TLS/SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open. To learn more about TLS/SSL, follow this link: http://www.openssl.org.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect personal user information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) will be granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. The servers that are used to store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security at our web site, you can send an email to info@karahestate.com.

Compromise of Security
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, Karah Estate Vineyards & Winery will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Statement, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes or if a user no longer desires our service, we will provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. Please contact us at info@karahestate.com.

Notification of Changes
As we continue to develop our web site, this privacy policy likely will change. We will post all changes to this policy on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's effective date. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.

We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this new manner.
