Information Collection and Use

We may collect information about you in three ways — directly from you, automatically when you access or use our Website or Application and from third parties. This information allows us to serve you in a number of ways, for example, by providing the Website and Application to you, fulfilling an order you've placed and responding to your inquiries.

Here are a few examples of ways we may collect information directly from you:

Order Placement.  When you place an order with us, you provide us with your name, email address, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, certain credit card information (type, expiration date and last four digits), your birthday and your order details. We may use this information to process payment, fulfil your order, send you marketing communications, and ensure that your order complies with all applicable laws,  e.g.,  we don't sell wine to persons under 18 years of age.

Angel Sign-Up.  When you sign up to be an Angel, you provide us with your name, email address, shipping and billing addresses, phone number and certain credit card information (type, expiration date and last four digits). We may use this information to process your Angel contributions, keep you informed regarding our products and promotions and ensure you have access to all of our Angel program benefits.

Voucher Registration.  When you register a Naked Wines voucher, you provide us with your email address. We may use this information to send you marketing materials that we believe will be of interest to you.

We may use this information to assist us in resolving your inquiries and to help us serve you better in the future.
