Privacy

The MPVA (the owner of the Winter Wine Weekend) is committed to protecting your privacy. We only collect personal information from you that is necessary for one or more of our functions and activities. When we collect personal information from you we do so in a fair manner and always ensure you are aware of how to contact our organisation.

We collect information from you when you sign up to become a friend MPVA and when you order goods to be delivered. The personal information collected is to enable us to perform these functions.

We will only disclose elements of your information to third parties who are helping us to perform these core functions. So, third parties assisting us with the delivery of goods to you or the delivery of our seasonal newsletter.

You can gain access to your information by emailing or calling us.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date.

We will also take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

If you wish to be removed from our friends of MPVA database or opt out of receiving special offers or communications from us, please contact us and we will remove your personal information from our records.

Security

The information you provide to a MPVA web site covered by this policy is protected in transit by using a network protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

SSL is the industry standard technology for secure online transactions. A simple way to know your transmission is protected is by referencing the URL. If it starts with https:// you can be assured that it is using SSL. Transactions are processed only from secure browsers. These browsers encrypt the information sent using SSL, which scrambles the data to make it extremely difficult for anyone who intercepts the information to read it.

MPVA has contracted with an online Merchant Services provider (National Australia Bank) with the goal of protecting our customers’ personal and financial information. Transmissions from this vendor to credit card processors also are encrypted and sent via dedicated leased private circuits. In addition, the computers housing the data are protected by physical security measures, including more than one level of locked access.

REMINDER: In the event of an unauthorized use of your credit or debit card, you must promptly notify the card issuer pursuant to its reporting rules and procedures.

Safeguarding Information
To minimize the risk of loss and/or additional expenses that could occur from compromised cardholder information, MPVA merchants WILL NOT retain any of the following information electronically:

Credit Card number
CVV number
Card expiration date

The protection of your personal information is important to MPVA, and as a result, we do not accept payment via email.
MPVA protects against unauthorized disclosures by limiting access only to those of our employees who need the information to do their jobs.
