HBX Services
Skalli Family Wines Americas’s HBX web analytics
services generally do not collect any personal
information submitted to third-party sites that
use our services. Because we generally receive
no personal information from visitors to our
customers' sites, we cannot associate, merge, or
link any anonymous information that we do
receive with any personal information of any
Internet users.
Some of our customers collect non-sensitive
personal information (such as email addresses)
and share it with us. We will only collect and
retain such personally identifiable information
on our customers’ behalf, acting as our
customers’ agent, and will not share, disclose,
report, transfer or deliver such personal
information to any person or entity other than
our customer.
How Do You Use Personal Information?
Registration information submitted on one of
Skalli Family Wines Americas’s own sites is used
by us for the purpose for which it was submitted
and may also be used by Skalli Family Wines
Americas to make your visits to our own sites
easier and enjoyable.
Personal information may be used in several
ways:
-
To enable us to respond to you or to
process, validate, and verify service
requests and to perform the requested
services
-
To allow us to charge and invoice you and to
contact you regarding changes to the
subscribed services
-
To give our own website designers
information that's useful for developing new
features and services that meet registrants'
needs
-
To tailor the registrant's experience on our
sites, showing them content we think might
interest them or altering the content
according to their preferences.
Except for purposes stated expressly in this
Privacy Policy, Skalli Family Wines Americas
will not use your personal information.
We do not merge, associate, or link any
registration information you submit to us at
our sites with any of the navigational or
interest information we gather anonymously
through our HBX services.
If
you want to delete or change personal
information that you have given us, go to the
Edit Your Information section.
Chat Rooms and Forums
Our sites may have chat rooms, forums, message
boards, and news groups. Any information you
disclose in these areas becomes public
information, and you should exercise caution
when deciding to disclose your personal
information to people you do not know. If you
disclose your e-mail address in a chat room or
forum, you may receive unsolicited e-mails or
spam (but never from us). We cannot safeguard
the privacy of any such information you choose
to disclose online in this manner and you must
do so carefully and at your own risk.
If You Contact Us
We use return e-mail addresses to answer the
e-mail we receive at any of our sites, but such
e-mail addresses are not stored or used for any
other purpose.
What Kind of Information Do You Share With
Others?
Except as may be stated expressly in this
Privacy Policy, we do not share personal
information that you give us with any third
parties.
Disclosures Required By Law
There is a limited number of situations
requiring us to disclose your personal
information to others without first receiving
your consent: (1) when ordered to do so by a
subpoena or court order, (2) if you violate or
breach an agreement with us, (3) if we believe
conduct by you will harm the property or rights
of Skalli Family Wines Americas or those of
Skalli Family Wines Americas' users, (4) under
exigent circumstances to protect the physical
safety of Skalli Family Wines Americas , its
employees, users, or the general public, (5) in
connection with the sale of all or substantially
all of our company's assets or the sale of an
entire business division, or (6) to validate
credit card numbers.
Aggregate Information
Skalli Family Wines Americas may share aggregate
statistical information gathered from the
registration process with advertisers, business
partners, sponsor or other third parties, but
none of them receive individual identifying
information about you collected at our sites.
For example, we may tell an advertiser that X
number of visitors visited a certain area on a
web site or that Y number of men and Z number of
women filled out registration forms, but we
would not disclose anything that would identify
those individuals. We share this information
only on an aggregate, anonymous basis and never
on an individual basis.

Our Cookies
Your browser offers cookies that store small
amounts of data on your computer about your

tracking which of our features you like best.
And when you re-visit our sites, cookies can
enable us to recognize that you are a return
visitor and to customize our content according

nothing about you personally unless you choose
to give us additional information.
We may use cookies to:
-
Keep count of your return visits to our site

-
Accumulate and report anonymous, aggregate,
statistical information on Web site usage
-
Deliver content specific to your interests
-
Save your password so you don't have to

In
general, we do not use cookies to identify,
monitor, or track any personally identifiable
information. Our cookies do not contain any
personally identifiable information about you.
We do not merge or associate our cookie
information with any personally identifiable
information obtained by us. When we collect
personally identifiable information on our
customers’ behalf, acting as our customers’
agent, we may use cookies to associate that
information with your browsing patterns on such
customers’ web pages. However, we will not
share, disclose, report, transfer or deliver
such personal information to any person or
entity other than our customer.
You have control over cookies. By modifying your

accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie

Web Beacons
Our web pages using HBX and HitBox web analytics
services contain electronic image requests
(called a "single-pixel gif" or "web beacon"
request) that allow us to count page views and
to access cookies. Any electronic image viewed
as part of a web page, including an ad banner,
can act as a web beacon. Web beacons are
typically 1-by-1 pixel files, but their presence
can usually be seen within the Internet Explorer
browser by clicking on "View" and then on
"Source" on the Internet Explorer menu. We
include web beacons in HTML-formatted
newsletters that we send to opt-in subscribers
in order to count how many newsletters have been
read. Our web beacons do not collect, gather,
monitor or share any personal information about
our web site visitors, they are just the
technique we use to compile our anonymous
information about web site usage.
Computer Profiles
Through our technology, we also collect and
accumulate other anonymous data that helps us
understand and analyze the Internet experience
of our visitors. For example, we accumulate
visitor data relating to referring domains, the
type of browsers used, operating system software
(e.g. Windows 95 vs. 98), screen resolutions,
color capabilities, plug-ins, language settings,
cookie preferences, search engine keywords and
JavaScript enablement. We also record number of
visits, paths taken, and time spent on sites and
pages. None of this information is personally
identifiable and we only share this information
in the aggregate, reflecting overall web site or
Internet usage trends.
Security
Information
Our sites have physical, electronic, and
managerial security measures in place to protect
the loss, misuse, and alteration of the
information under our control. We take many
measures to protect this information while it is
stored:
-
We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections
with 128-bit encryption for certain
transactions and confidential data. When you
use a secure browser, all information you
submit to us is transmitted to us over the
Internet in an encrypted form. Every secure
page has been secured with a digital
certificate issued by a third party
certification authority. This is shown via
the "site certificate" that sits on all
secure pages. To view this certificate,
click on the image of the closed lock or the
solid key on the bottom bar of your browser
window.
-
We monitor system and application activity
logs to identify any unusual activity, from
authorized or unauthorized individuals
accessing our systems or making changes to
stored information. We regularly perform
preventative system maintenance and
monitoring to ensure the security of our
data systems.
-
Our servers are maintained in secure
facilities. Skalli Family Wines Americas and
its partners' network operations personnel
monitor data center seven days per week.
Backup tapes are retrieved daily and stored
at an off-site location
You do not need to set up a user id and
password to use our websites because we do
not require you to establish your identity
when you visit our sites. However, if you
have subscribed for some of our services or
are customers seeking access to your account
information, you will have to provide
passwords. We recommend you do not divulge
your password to anyone. Skalli Family Wines
Americas will never ask you for your
password in an unsolicited telephone call or
e-mail. You are responsible for the secrecy
of your passwords.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet or any wireless network can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal
information, we cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit,
and you do so at your own risk. Once we
receive your transmission, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our
systems.
Edit Your Information or Opt Out
We may contact any registrant at any time
regarding our service-related problems or
questions as well as changes to policies or
terms of service, but we want you to have
control of your personal information and the
communications directed to you. Therefore, you
can review, correct, change, or remove your
personal registration information and elect not
to receive future communications from us by
e-mailing us at
info@sfwAmericas.com. To protect your
privacy and security, we take reasonable steps
to verify your identity before granting access
or making changes.
