Privacy Policy:
River Spirit Brewing ("River Spirit Brewing") operates RiverSpiritBrewing.com and may operate other websites. It is River Spirit Brewing's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, River Spirit Brewing collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. River Spirit Brewing's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how River Spirit Brewing's visitors use its website. From time to time, River Spirit Brewing may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
River Spirit Brewing also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on RiverSpiritBrewing.com blogs/sites. River Spirit Brewing only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to River Spirit Brewing's websites choose to interact with River Spirit Brewing in ways that require River Spirit Brewing to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that River Spirit Brewing gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at RiverSpiritBrewing.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with River Spirit Brewing are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, River Spirit Brewing collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with River Spirit Brewing. River Spirit Brewing does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
River Spirit Brewing may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. River Spirit Brewing may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, River Spirit Brewing does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
River Spirit Brewing discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on River Spirit Brewing's behalf or to provide services available at River Spirit Brewing's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using River Spirit Brewing's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. River Spirit Brewing will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, River Spirit Brewing discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when River Spirit Brewing believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of River Spirit Brewing, third parties or the public at large.
