Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

This policy explains what personal information Docente Wines collects when you visit docentewines.com, shop with us, or join the Docente Vineyard Society, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us: your name, email, phone, shipping and billing address, date of birth, and order details when you buy wine, join the club, or contact us.
  • Payment information: card payments are handled by our payment processor, Stripe. We do not store your full card number.
  • Information collected automatically: cookies and similar technologies, as described below, plus basic technical data such as your browser, device and approximate location (used to show the right store for your region).

How we use it

  • To process and ship your orders and manage your club membership.
  • To verify that you are of legal drinking age and that we can ship to your state or country.
  • To answer your questions and send order and membership updates.
  • To send news and offers, only if you sign up. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • To understand how the site is used and improve it, only if you allow analytics cookies.
  • To prevent fraud and keep the site secure.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the service providers that help us run the shop, such as Commerce7 (our online store), Stripe (payments), shipping carriers, and Google (analytics and reCAPTCHA spam protection). They may use it only to provide their services to us. We may also share information when the law requires it.

Cookies

We use cookies to run our shop, remember your cart, and understand how people use our site. Non-essential cookies are used only if you allow them. You can change your choice at any time from the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of every page.

Strictly Necessary (always on)

These cookies keep the site working: your shopping cart, age verification, login session, payment processing, and fraud protection. Without them the shop cannot function, so they cannot be turned off.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors browse the site: which pages are popular, how people find us, and where we can improve. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Cookies: _ga, _ga_*

Global Privacy Control

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information under California law, and marketing cookies stay off. No account or additional action is needed. The signal is detected automatically.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or limit how we use it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell your personal information. US visitors can use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link at the bottom of every page. Visitors in the EU and UK may also complain to their local data protection authority.

To make a request, email info@docentewines.com. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.

How long we keep it

We keep order and membership records as long as needed to serve you and to meet tax, accounting and alcohol-sale legal requirements. Your cookie choice is remembered for 180 days.

Age requirement

This site is only for people of legal drinking age (21 or older in the US). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
