Privacy Policy

When you complete one of our enquiry forms (for example, to request our guide or ask for information), we collect:

• Your first and last name;
• Your email address and phone number;
• Your country or region;
• Optionally, your stated level of interest and any message you choose to write.

We do not collect payment details through this website, and we do not carry out profiling or automated decision-making.

We use the details you provide solely to:

• Respond to your enquiry and, where requested, send you the whisky investment guide;
• Have a specialist follow up with balanced, education-first information about the market and its risks;
• Keep a record of enquiries and our communications with you.

Our lawful basis is your consent, given when you submit a form, and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries addressed to us. You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to us.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers who host this website and store form submissions on our behalf, and with the specialists who respond to your enquiry. Where data is processed on our behalf, we require those providers to protect it appropriately and use it only for the purposes described here.

Form submissions are stored securely in our hosting provider's database. We keep enquiry records only for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to meet any legal or record-keeping obligations, after which they are deleted.

This website uses only the cookies and local storage strictly necessary for it to function. We do not run advertising or third-party analytics cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to have inaccurate information corrected, to have your information erased in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, and to receive your information in a portable format. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) if you are unhappy with how we handle your data — though we would appreciate the chance to put things right first.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
