These voluntary submissions may include, but are not limited to, submissions to ask questions or provide comments to the staff at GLBC, post blog comments, signup for email newsletters, submit charitable donations, register for events, submit survey results, utilize the Beer Finder or place an order on our Site. GLBC only collects personally identifiable information when it is submitted by a user, and submission of personal information is voluntary.
GLBC uses the information you provide to us at the Site to enable us to process purchases, to communicate with you and to provide services to you.
We may also use third parties to help us provide services to you, such as fulfilling orders, processing payments and so on. For example, we contract with third party service providers and other businesses (e.g., credit card processors, shippers, website developers and others) to help provide certain services offered on this Site. In some instances, these contractors may have access to personally identifiable information, however they have agreed not to contact you or disclose your personal information for any purpose unrelated to providing the services offered on this Site. GLBC does not sell or share personally identifiable information to malicious third parties (e.g., marketers, spammers, etc.).
GLBC may track user traffic patterns throughout the site. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We may break down overall usage statistics according to a user’s IP address, domain name, browser type, geographic location and ISP information by reading this information from the user agent header (information contained in every user’s browser).
GLBC may track and catalog the search terms that users enter in search function(s) on the Site, but this tracking is not associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of the Site users frequent based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
