Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from The Bourbon Vault HQ. As a licensed online provider of alcoholic beverages, we collect and process data in strict accordance with federal, state, and local beverage control laws.

⚠️ Strict Age Compliance: We do not intentionally market to, communicate with, or collect personal information from individuals under the age of 21. If we discover that any individual under 21 has provided us with personal information, including bypassing our storefront age gateway, we will immediately purge that data from our servers.

👤 1. Alcohol-Specific Personal Data We Collect

In addition to standard e-commerce metrics, our regulatory compliance requires the collection of specific identity data:

  • Age-Verification Information: When entering the website or completing a purchase, you may be required to provide your date of birth, government-issued ID number, or a photo/scan of your physical identification card to verify your legal drinking age.
  • Delivery Identity Records: Our third-party fulfillment and shipping carriers collect signatures and verify physical government IDs upon delivery. This cross-check confirmation data is logged to ensure legal compliance.
  • Transactional Information: Standard data including billing address, shipping address, payment information (credit card numbers), email address, and phone number.

⚙️ 2. How We Use Your Compliance Data

We process your personal information to fulfill legal orders and satisfy state liquor commission regulations. This includes:

  • Screening transactions for fraud, straw purchases (buying for minors), and illegal cross-border alcohol distribution.
  • Verifying that the order sender and the package recipient are both at least 21 years of age.
  • Filing accurate tax reports and compliant shipping manifests to state authorities where required by law.
  • Providing order updates, shipping notifications, and relevant product updates matching your verified preferences.

🤝 3. Data Sharing with Third-Party Compliance Partners

To safely handle alcoholic beverage fulfillment, we share your data with vital service networks:

  • Age-Gate Vendors: We securely pass identity details to automated verification software to seamlessly cross-reference public records and confirm your age during checkout.
  • Specialized Carriers: Shipping data is shared with licensed courier networks (such as FedEx or specialized alcohol fulfillment hubs) that explicitly mandate adult signatures upon delivery.
  • E-Commerce Platform: Our storefront is hosted by Shopify. You can review how Shopify uses generalized customer information within their public privacy statements.

🛡️ 4. Local Jurisdiction & Legal Disclosures

📋 Law Enforcement Provisions: We reserve the right to disclose your personal information if explicitly required by law enforcement, state alcohol beverage control (ABC) boards, or court orders to protect our license validity and combat underage consumption.

🔒 5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence (such as California, Virginia, or Florida), you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. You can also utilize our "Do Not Sell or Share" link to opt-out of targeted tracking pixel data.
