Privacy Policy for The Bottle Shop

Effective Date: July 1, 2025

At The Bottle Shop, we value your privacy like we value a well-aged bourbon—seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. By using our website or providing your information to us (whether online, in-store, or via SMS), you agree to the terms of this policy.

1. What We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal data:

  • Contact Information: Name, email, phone number, shipping/billing address

  • Demographics: Birthdate (to verify you're 21+), gender, location

  • Transaction Info: Purchase history, payment method (but not your full credit card number—we’re not fools)

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device data, site interactions

  • Marketing Preferences: SMS opt-ins, email subscriptions, ad engagement

  • User-Generated Content: Reviews, survey responses, messages to customer service

2. How We Use It

We use your data to:

  • Process and fulfill orders

  • Verify you’re of legal drinking age (21+)

  • Send promotions, SMS alerts, newsletters, and special offers (if you’ve opted in)

  • Improve our website and customer experience

  • Comply with legal requirements (including liquor sales laws in Tennessee)

  • Prevent fraud and unauthorized access

We won’t spam you. And we don’t sell your info. Period.

3. SMS & Email Marketing

By providing your phone number or email address and opting in, you consent to receive:

  • Promotional messages

  • Event announcements

  • Loyalty perks

  • Order updates

You can opt out anytime. Text “STOP” to unsubscribe from SMS. Hit “Unsubscribe” in emails. No hard feelings.

Carrier message and data rates may apply.

4. Data Sharing & Nondisclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data with:

  • Trusted service providers (e.g. payment processors, delivery partners, email/SMS platforms)

  • Government or law enforcement when legally required

  • Analytics and marketing vendors (but only anonymized or aggregated data)

Everyone we work with signs contracts to keep your info safe and private. If they screw up, they’re out.

5. Security

We use industry-standard security measures—SSL encryption, firewalls, limited access protocols, and more. While no system is 100% bulletproof, we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data.

If there’s a data breach, we’ll notify you quickly and transparently.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (and the alphabet soup of privacy laws—GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you may have the right to:

  • Access your data

  • Correct it

  • Delete it

  • Restrict its use

  • Object to certain uses

  • Withdraw consent at any time

7. Cookies & Tracking

Our site uses cookies, pixels, and other tools to:

  • Keep your cart full

  • Personalize your shopping experience

  • Analyze site traffic

  • Deliver relevant ads (yes, those creepy-but-useful ones)

You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may break some site features, but hey—it’s your call.

8. Age Restriction

We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 21. If you’re not 21+, you shouldn’t be here—and we’re not interested in your info.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as laws change or our business evolves. If we make any big changes, we’ll let you know—because surprises are for birthdays, not privacy.
