Bloodwood Wines respects the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Notice explains our policy for dealing with personal information that we collect via the website http://bloodwood.biz.
Throughout this Privacy Notice, we refer to your "personal information" which means information which identifies you as an individual or from which your identity can be reasonably ascertained. Your home address and home telephone number are examples of personal information.
We will post any changes to this Privacy Notice on the Bloodwood website, so we encourage you to check this Privacy Notice from time to time.
The information about you which we may collect through the website includes:
* Information collected when you subscribe to the Bloodwood Bible.
* Information collected when you purchase our wine on-line.

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
.
In essence, the only information we keep is our mailing list and purchasing records for taxation purposes.
We also collect non-personal information relating to the performance of the bloodwood.biz website. This includes information about the browser type, operating system, date, time and duration of visits and which web pages of the website are most commonly visited. This information is used by us to help to administer and improve the websites and is not specific to an individual.
Cookies
The bloodwood.biz web site does not currently use cookies, but may do so in future if they are required to improve the functionality of the site.
Website cookies are very different from the biscuits produced by Rhonda in the creative furnace commonly known as the Bloodwood kitchen. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie) comes this definition:
A cookie, also known as a web cookie, browser cookie, and HTTP cookie, is a piece of text stored by a user's web browser. A cookie can be used for authentication, storing site preferences, shopping cart contents, the identifier for a server-based session, or anything else that can be accomplished through storing text data.
A cookie consists of one or more name-value pairs containing bits of information, which may be encrypted for information privacy and data security purposes. The cookie is sent as an HTTP header by a web server to a web browser and then sent back unchanged by the browser each time it accesses that server.
As text, cookies are not executable. Because they are not executed, they cannot replicate themselves and are not viruses. However, due to the browser mechanism to set and read cookies, they can be used as spyware. Anti-spyware products may warn users about some cookies because cookies can be used to track people—a privacy concern.
Most modern browsers allow users to decide whether to accept cookies, and the time frame to keep them, but rejecting cookies makes some websites unusable.
Use and disclosure of information
Bloodwood does not share personal information with anyone unless we are required by law to do so.
We only use your personal information to keep you informed of our services, events, developments and other matters. If you do not wish to be contacted for those purposes, please let us know using the contact details set out below. We aim to provide you with information and invitations that we consider may be of interest or relevance to you.
External Links
The website may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of other organisations which may be of interest to you. Linked websites are responsible for their own privacy practices and you should check those websites for their respective privacy statements.
Security
We use a number of mechanisms to protect the security and integrity of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. So while we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once any personal information comes into our possession, we will take reasonable steps to protect that information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Please not that we DO NOT collect or store your credit card details on the bloodwood.biz website when you make a purchase. This process is handled entirely by Paypal. Please refer to their own extensive security information:
