Customer Internet Privacy Statement

Protecting your privacy is important to us. We hope the following statement will help you understand how The Epicurus Group collects, uses and safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our websites.

The Epicurus Group does not use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for confidential communications between our site Users and senior management. Rather, our communications are sent via confidential email to a single, designated official. In such communications, we shall not collect credit card or other payment information under these circumstances.

If you purchase any individual item within our sites catalogs, those purchases will be executed with the third party provider such as Amazon.com.

Information Collection

When you browse any The Epicurus Group website, you do so anonymously. Personal information -- including your E-mail address -- is not collected. We may, however, request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your E-mail address, for purposes such as correspondence, site or function registration, making a purchase, or participating in online surveys.

Like many other commercial websites, The Epicurus Group websites may utilize a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how our site is used. Please read About Cookies for more information.

Information Use

If you provide us with your E-mail address, or have done so in the past, we may upon occasion send you E-mail offers. We may use information you have given us to, for example, provide a service, measure consumer interest in our various services, or inform you about products and services. These offers may be based on information you provided in your initial transaction with us, from surveys that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle, as well as information available from external sources, such as census bureau data. We may also, upon occasion, share E-mail addresses with certain other well-established companies so that they can send you product and service offers that may be of interest.

All offers are carefully developed to ensure that they meet our standards. Our goal is to target offers to people who we believe will find them of value. The lists used to send you product and service offers are developed and managed under strict conditions designed to safeguard the security and privacy of customer personal information.

Declining E-mail Offers

The Epicurus Group provides customers with an easy means to decline receiving E-mail offers.

Although most customers tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these carefully designed opportunities, we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving these offers by simply replying to the E-mail and informing us of your preferences or by clicking on the removal link at the bottom of each E-mail. All E-mail offers that you receive from The Epicurus Group will inform you of how to decline receiving further E-mail offers.

The Epicurus Group does not knowingly solicit data from children, and we do not knowingly market to children. Children should not use the sections of this site which provide recipes for alcholic beverages. Such recipes are not restricted and parents are responsible for the actions of their children.
