Meili Spirits, Ltd. (“Meili” or “We”) recognizes the importance of your privacy, and We are committed to protecting the information We collect from you. The following privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) governs your use of the Meili website, located at [www.meilivodka.com], which includes without limitations the home page and all other pages under the same top-level domain name, and all content thereon (the “Site”), as provided by Meili. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and at any time without notice to you by posting such changes on the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, which are also incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service for use of the Site, located at [www.meilivodka.com], to which you must also agree in order to use the Site. We know that you care how information about you is used and shared, and We appreciate your trust that We will do so carefully and sensibly. By visiting the Meili Vodka Site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
We collect information from you when you visit the Site, whether through the Site or via alternative means, including but not limited to completion of Meili documents and forms. In this section, We describe what types of personal data We collect, the ways We collect it, and how We use it. While We have tried to be complete, this list is not necessarily exhaustive, given that these activities can vary from time to time. When We collect information, We will tell you at the point of collection what information is required and what information is optional. We collect personal information both directly from the information you provide us with as well as automatically as you navigate through the Site. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies. This collection of information includes any information that can personally identify you. This information may include details such as your name, age, gender, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.
Examples of information that you provide us include:
The types of personal data typically collected by us may include the following, depending on your activities:
As is the case with many websites, our Site may use cookies and other automated information collection means. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enable the Site or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. Cookies also help us upgrade our Site by showing when and how users use our Site. You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of our Site might not work without cookies. Where We use cookies or other similar technologies, We will seek your prior consent where required to do so by law. Where We use your email or other digital means to communicate marketing information to you, We will seek your prior consent where required to do so by law.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist in better understanding Site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected except to help Meili conduct and improve our business. You may disallow receiving cookies at any time through your web browser. Although you may still use the Site if you reject cookies, some functionality, such as the shopping cart, may be limited.
Our Site may also use IP addresses for the same purposes identified above, as well as to analyze trends, administer our Site, track users’ movements and online activity, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
We may use web beacons (also known as Internet tags or clear GIFs) on our Site to access and set cookies and otherwise help us to better understand how users are moving through our Site. Information provided by the web beacon includes the computer’s IP address, the type of browser being used, traffic data, location data, information about your computer and internet connection, and the time that the web beacon was viewed. We may also use web beacons in emails and newsletters so that We know when such communications have been opened and to otherwise help us tailor our communications to individual users.
The information We collect automatically is statistical data and may contain personal information. It helps us to improve our Site and to deliver a better and more personalized service, by enabling us to:
We may collect personal data related to employees, directors, authorized signatories, and other individuals associated with our existing or prospective business partners (collectively “Business Partners”). Information may be collected from Business Partners directly, from a company that employs Business Partners, from our affiliates, during networking events that We have either hosted, or sponsored, or attended; and/or from publicly available sources. We may collect personal data relating to our Business Partners’ employees, officers, authorized signatories, or other associated individuals. Information collected includes but is not limited to names, business addresses, business email addresses, business telephone numbers, business fax numbers, job title or role, business bank account details, date of birth, language of communication, date of first contact, and/or categorization as a business partner.
We will mainly collect personal data about you through interactions with you and your use of our Site and digital platforms. In addition, this Privacy Policy applies to our use of any information about you, which we may collect from you via face-to-face communication, mail, phone, email, social media, event registration/attendance, or any other means of communication (including any form of electronic communication).
We may collect information you provide to us online or offline when we enter into a B2B relationship, in order to consummate the relationship and carry out business functions.
We also collect technical data derived from your browsing.
We may also collect information about you from other entities in our corporate group, our business partners, and various other third-party service providers.
Information about our users, registrants, sponsors, and exhibitors (collectively “Users”) is an important part of our business, and We are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with such entities that either are subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy. Data We collect may also be processed by staff operating outside the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) who work with us or for us, or for one of our affiliated companies, suppliers, or service providers.
If and when transferring your personal data outside the EEA (which consists of EU member states and Iceland, Lichtenstein, and Norway), We will only do so using one of the following safeguards:
You may request a copy of any relevant document in relation to transfers of your personal data outside the EEA by contacting us at info@meilivodka.com.
You are entitled to obtain information from us on how We handle your personal data, to see copies of all personal data held by us, and to request that your personal data is amended, corrected, or deleted from our systems. You can also limit, restrict, or object to the processing of your data. We do not carry out any decision-making based solely on automated processing, including profiling.
If you gave us your consent to use your data, e.g., so that We can send you marketing emails and texts, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that even if you withdraw your consent, We can still rely on the consent you gave as the lawful basis for processing your personal data before you withdrew your consent. You can object to our use of your personal data. If you would like to exercise any of your above rights, contact us at info@meilivodka.com.
The security of your personal identifying information (such as your credit card number) is important to Meili. Therefore, We implement a variety of appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology, and We follow all PCI-DSS requirements (and implement additional generally accepted industry standards). After a transaction, your private information (credit card number, etc.) will not be stored on Meili servers.
Please keep in mind, however, there is no such thing as perfect security, and no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. Moreover, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any username and password you use, if applicable.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal identifying information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist in operating the Site, conducting business, selling products marketed on the Site, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. However, non-personal identifying visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
By using this Site, you consent to this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions incorporated herein by reference.
Our Site is designed to appeal to adults only. We do not knowingly solicit any information from children or people under the legal drinking age, nor do We knowingly market or otherwise target our Site or our products or services to children or people under the legal drinking age. If We become aware that a visitor to our Site is a child or under the legal drinking age in the country or other territory in which he or she is located at the relevant time and has registered without verifiable parental consent, We will remove his or her personal information from our files.
We will keep and process your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected in connection with your relationship with us, unless We have a legal right or obligation to retain the data for a longer period, or the data is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. When the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, We securely delete it or, in some cases, anonymize it.
In the present Privacy Policy, “We” or “us” means Meili, formed under the laws of [INSERT STATE OF FORMATION]. Our registered office and principal place of business is located at [INSERT ADDRESS]. If you have any concerns about material which appears on our Site or if you need to communicate with us, please contact us at:
For the purpose of the GDPR, We will be the data controller responsible for any personal information about you.
If We decide to change the Privacy Policy, We will post those changes on this page. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If We make material changes to this Privacy Policy, We will notify you here, by email, or by a notice on our homepage.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal identifying information as required by law and when We believe that disclosure is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, to operate the Site properly, or to protect ourselves or our users.
You may choose to have your name taken off the Meili email list or to “opt-out” of having your personal identifying information used for certain purposes, including but not limited to receiving additional marketing materials from Meili. If you no longer wish to receive marketing and promotional materials from Meili, you may contact us at:
Unless specifically requested, We do not solicit nor wish to receive any confidential, secret or proprietary information or other material from you through the Site, by email, or in any other way. Any unsolicited information or material submitted or sent to Meili will not be deemed to be confidential or secret.
You are solely responsible for any information and other content you post on or through the Site. You understand that anything you post on or through the Site is generally accessible to and may be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages or other contact from others. Users of any available forums are encouraged to exercise caution when providing information about themselves.
We recognize the importance of your privacy, and We are committed to protecting the information We collect from you. The following cookies policy (the “Cookies Policy”) governs your use of Meili websites, which includes without limitations the home page and all other pages under the same top-level domain name, and all content thereon (the “Site”) as provided by Meili. This Site uses cookies. By using this Site and agreeing to this policy, you consent to Meili’s use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy. We will only set cookies on your device with your prior consent if this is required by law. If you have consented to the use of cookies on our Site, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Cookies are small files which often include an anonymous unique identifier sent by web servers to web browsers and stored by the web browsers, which enable the website or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables a web server to identify and track web browsers. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, and the time spent at our Site. There are two main kinds of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted from your computer when you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach their expiry date.
We use cookies to help us save your preferences for future visits, keep track of advertisements, and compile aggregate data about website traffic and website interaction so that We can offer better website experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist in better understanding Site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected except to help Meili conduct and improve our business.
The cookies we use can be divided into four categories:
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to navigate the Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the Site. Without these cookies, many services you have requested cannot be provided.
What type of Strictly Necessary Cookies do we use on our Site?
Examples of Strictly Necessary Cookies we may use on this Site include Content Management Cookies which are required by the Site’s content management system to work, and Preference Cookies which are necessary for mobile applications and enable the Site to look and feel the way it is intended to.
We may also use “Social Media” cookies to personalize your interaction with third-party social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, where our Site uses such features. Such cookies recognize users of these social media sites when you view social media content on our Site. They also allow you to quickly share content across media, through the use of simple “sharing” buttons. We use the following Social Media cookies:
(For further information about those Social Media cookies, please see the respective platforms’ cookie/privacy pages.)
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often. These cookies don’t collect information that directly identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore becomes anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
What type of Performance Cookies do we use on our Site?
Our Site requires you to enter your date of birth, and cookies allow us to remember the data you have entered, so that We do not need to ask you to re-enter information every time you browse to a different page of the Site. We also use Google Analytics-type cookies (or other analytics tools) which, in conjunction with our web server’s log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Site and which parts of our Site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback so that We can improve our Site and better serve our customers. We do not generally store any personal information that you provide to us in a cookie. Most of our cookies expire within 90 days, although our analytics cookies may persist for two (2) to ten (10) years. If you delete cookies relating to this Site, We will not remember things about you, and you will be treated as a first-time visitor the next time you visit the Site.
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
These cookies are used to deliver marketing materials and advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by third-party advertising technology providers (such as advertising networks and other digital advertising platforms) with the website operator’s permission.
What type of Targeting Cookies or Advertising Cookies do we use?
These cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to you and your interests based on your previous browsing across the web, as well as keywords we may be able to gather from the URLs of webpages from which you accessed this Site and any search engine used to reach this Site. Also, these cookies may be used to deliver targeted advertising to you or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. They stay on your computer unless you delete them, and they remember that you have visited a website. We may also use certain service providers to set cookies on our behalf via third-party websites with whom we have partnered. These cookies enable us to analyze consumers’ visits to specific sections of those websites and collect certain information regarding purchases of our products from those websites.
Marketing cookies we use include Third Party Cookies set by Google [or other providers] for online interest-based advertising. We may also use certain Facebook advertising tools (such as Facebook “pixel”) for online interest-based advertising purposes.
You can block our use of cookies by activating the settings in your browser, but in order to use certain services offered through our Site, your web browser must accept certain cookies. Please visit All About Cookies where you can find comprehensive information on cookie management and blocking for a wide variety of browsers. You may disallow receiving cookies at any time through your web browser. Although you may still use the Site if you reject cookies, some functionality may be limited.
