International Whisky Competition Privacy Policy

Your privacy on whiskycompetition.com

This website is administered by International Whisky Competition. The primary purpose of whiskycompetition.com is to be an informative and comprehensive whisky competition website showing clarity in judging results and ratings from the public. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so.

The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit.

What information do we gather?

Information on whiskycompetition.com is gathered only when you send us an email through the contact us email link.

We collect information directly from you in a number of ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information which save and retrieve information about your visit to whiskycompetition.com—for example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser.)

We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us. Throughout our site, we provide the opportunity to register for a competition, order a competition glass or T-Shirt, or participate in an online survey. When we collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this information will be used. It is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.

How do we use this information?

We analyze it to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine how we can design whiskycompetition.com to make it more fun and suited to your needs. We may also use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we collect the information.

Will we share this with outside parties?

As an international organization, data we collect may be transferred internationally throughout International Whisky Competition’s organization. We will never sell individual information and will share it only with our internal advisors. There will be other times when we need to share information, for example, in the case of an event where we need to provide our caterer with meal preference information if you’re acting as a judge on one of our editions of the International Whisky Competition. But again, before you submit any information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for specific information and it is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.

Finally, we are interested in maintaining your privacy and creating a valuable website for you to use. If you have any questions now or during your visit, please don’t hesitate to send us an email with any concerns or comments.
