COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Personal Information
Personal Information is defined as your name or information that would enable you to be contacted, as well as your profession, any financial or medical information.

The Website is designed to allow TMC members to voluntarily share their personal information with each other. If you provide Personal Information to the Website, it will be collected and stored by TMC in order for you to use the Website. If you are concerned about providing your information to TMC for this purpose, please do not use the Website.

TMC collects a variety of Personal Information about you through your use of the Website, primarily through information you voluntary submit. You may submit information by clicking on various links, such as "Contact Us." Additionally, TMC collects such information when you apply for membership, register for the Website, login and use the website, request information, complete the area of your public account, or by using the Website.

Non-Personal Information
TMC may collect non-Personal Information about you or your activity at the Website. Non-Personal Information may be collected at various stages in the Website, including when you post non-Personal Information to your profile. The Website may automatically recognize and store information about the type of browser you are using; your Internet Protocol ("IP") address; the time, date, and length of your visit; the pages you visit, and the referring site. This information, if collected, is collected via computer code sent to your computer (commonly referred to as "cookies"). The cookies may not expire, unless you manually delete them or set your browser to reject them. If you do not accept the cookies, however, you may have difficulty navigating the Website. Furthermore, the Website may utilize Web beacons, embedded Web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools.

USE

TMC uses non-personal information to manage the Website. TMC may analyze the data about visits to the Website to make it more accessible and interesting for visitors. TMC may share this data with third parties, usually to provide services for TMC associated with the maintenance of the Website. Additionally, TMC may disclose information about which Website pages you visit on the Website.

If you submit Personal Information to the Website, the information will be used for the purpose you requested, for which it is collected or for any purpose you subsequently authorize. That information may be stored and maintained for as long as is reasonably necessary to effectuate the service you request or for which the information was provided and for a reasonable time thereafter. TMC will process this information in a manner which is consistent with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by you.

The Personal Information that you provide to the Website to be posted to your profile or otherwise made available may be shared with other users of the Website. Additionally, information collected about you, such as when you log-on to the website may be publicly available. There are a number of ways in which you may control how much information you provide to the Website is shared with other users, and TMC will take efforts to comply with your requests; however, you may not be able to control all TMC uses and disclosures of your Personal Information, and your information may be used by TMC and the Website in a manner which is otherwise authorized in this Policy.

Additionally, TMC may use your information to contact you regarding the Website or to inform you of other products or services available from TMC and its affiliates. TMC may also use such information to contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services to be offered. TMC may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you.

In addition, TMC may share your Personal and non-Personal Information with trusted partners to help us fulfill your request, perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, arrange for deliveries, or to provide other services to TMC or Website users. TMC may collect and use information you submit to create derivative works.

Furthermore, TMC may disclose any information collected to the extent TMC reasonably believes that such disclosure is desirable to comply with the law, such as in response to any subpoena, to the extent reasonably necessary to establish or defend a legal claim and for other purposes permitted by applicable law. Additionally, any such information may be transferred to a third party in the event of a sale, acquisition, merger or bankruptcy involving TMC or any subsidiary or section thereof.

You hereby grant to TMC a license to commercially use your image, name, likeness, publicity rights, and other personal information in connection with the website, in a manner consistent with this Policy. If you choose to communicate with other Website users through internal functionality, such communications may utilize your Personal Information, and may disclose such information to the user to whom your communication is directed.

If you do not wish TMC to use your information in accordance with this Policy, please do not submit any Personal Information to TMC or post such information on the Website.

CONSENT TO PROCESS INFORMATION

By using the Website and submitting information to it, you hereby consent to allow TMC to process information in accordance with this Policy. You understand that Personal and non-Personal Information you submit to the Website or that is collected when you visit the Website may reveal your identity or aspects about it and about you. Please note that if you delete your account, TMC may retain your Personal Information and non-Personal Information in a non-public format to process aggregate data, or in a non-aggregate format for business purposes, as TMC, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, in accordance with applicable law. Although TMC may retain your information that it collects, it is under no obligation to do so, and may delete its records of your information, Content, Submissions, Material or other matter at any time, without your consent and in TMC's sole discretion.

To the extent you purchase goods or services on the Website, from TMC or through which TMC processes credit card information, you agree that TMC may retain such information for archival purposes for a reasonable time. You agree that TMC shall not be liable for any non-intentional data breaches and agree to hold TMC harmless therefrom.

ACCESS, UPDATE AND OPT-OUT

If you would like to access or update any information you have sent to TMC, if you do not want to receive information from TMC, please do so through the tools available in your account or contact us at webmaster@eatingvine.com. At such a time, TMC may request that you verify your identity so that TMC may ensure the accuracy and lawfulness of granting you such access.

TMC will make reasonable efforts to honor requests you make to access and update your information or to forgo contacts with you in the future, except to the extent that the burden of complying would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or as otherwise permitted by law. If you make an opt-out or modification request, TMC may retain your contact information or your original information. Additionally, if you request TMC to refrain from sharing your information with third parties, TMC may be unable to fulfill various requests you may make.

To the extent required by the CAN-SPAM Act, or other similar domestic and international regulation, commercial e-mail messages will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of receiving such information. Please note that changes to your preferences may not be effective immediately.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Beginning on January 1, 2005, California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as S.B. 27, or the "Shine the Light" law, allows California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosures in the prior calendar year, if any, of their personally identifiable information to third parties. To make such a request, please contact us at webmaster@eatingvine.com with "Request for Privacy Information" in the letter subject line. You must include sufficient detail for us to locate your information; at a minimum, your name, email and postal address.

We will attempt to provide you with the requested information within thirty (30) days of receipt. We reserve our right not to respond to requests sent more than once in a calendar year, or requests submitted to an address other than the one posted in this notice. Please note that the California Shine the Light law does not cover all information sharing. Our disclosure only includes information covered by the law.

REVISIONS TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

The Internet and the benefits it offers are evolving rapidly, as are the ways in which people use and abuse the Internet and the laws surrounding such use and abuse. TMC therefore reserves the right to update and revise this Privacy Policy at any time. You can determine if this Privacy Policy has been revised since your last visit by referring to the "Effective Date of Current Policy" date at the top of this page. Your use of our Website after a modification constitutes your acceptance of the terms of the Privacy Policy as amended or revised by us, and you should therefore review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of its terms.
