Your Privacy, Respected.

The Barrel Drip ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to handling your information with the same care we bring to every bottle in our collection. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you browse our site, reserve a release, or work with our team.

Because we sell and reserve alcohol, our service is intended only for individuals who are of legal drinking age in their jurisdiction (21 or older in the United States). By using our site you confirm that you meet that requirement.

Information You Provide

When you contact our team, request a reservation, or correspond with us, you may share information such as:

• Your name, email address, phone number, and preferred contact method.
• Shipping, billing, and pickup details needed to fulfil a reservation.
• Reservation preferences, barrel-pick requests, and the contents of your messages to us.
• Age-verification confirmation and, where required by a carrier or regulator, government-issued identification at delivery.

Information Collected Automatically

As you browse, we and our analytics providers may automatically collect technical details — your device and browser type, IP address, pages viewed, referring links, and general location — to keep the site secure and to understand how it is used.

We do not knowingly collect payment card numbers on our own servers; payments, when applicable, are processed by PCI-compliant payment partners.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your enquiries and provide reservation and delivery support.
• Verify legal drinking age and confirm eligibility to purchase.
• Process, fulfil, and communicate about your reservations and orders.
• Personalise recommendations and notify you about releases you have expressed interest in.
• Operate, secure, and improve our site, and detect or prevent fraud and misuse.
• Comply with our legal obligations, including those governing the sale of alcohol.

Our service is strictly for those of legal drinking age. We may ask you to confirm your age, and our shipping carriers are required to verify that an adult of legal drinking age is present and to obtain a signature upon delivery. We do not knowingly serve, market to, or collect information from anyone under the legal drinking age.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run our service and as the law allows:

• Service providers — fulfilment, licensed retail and shipping partners, payment processors, and analytics or hosting vendors who act on our instructions.
• Licensed sellers and carriers — where a reservation is fulfilled through a licensed retailer or common carrier, the details required to complete and lawfully deliver your order.
• Legal and safety — when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our terms, or protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers and team.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your preferences, and measure performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some may affect parts of the experience. Where required, we honour recognised browser-based opt-out signals.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so while we work hard to protect your data we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep personal information only for as long as needed to provide our service, meet the legal and record-keeping obligations that apply to alcohol sales, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to opt out of certain processing, and to withdraw consent. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

To make a request, email us at [email protected] or reach our team. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Our site may link to third-party sites and services we do not control, such as social profiles or payment providers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Our service is not directed to anyone under the legal drinking age, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above, and material changes will be made prominent on this page.
