DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Uncork Solutions Inc. may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected from users to investors, wine agents and partners. In such cases, statistical information only will be disclosed and personally identifiable data will be kept strictly confidential.

Uncork Solutions Inc. may from time to time engage third parties to preserve, analyze or otherwise store or manipulate data received by Uncork Solutions Inc. from its users. In all such cases, such third party service providers will be required to treat all such data with the same degree of care and confidentiality as Uncork Solutions Inc. and they will be prohibited from disclosing such data to any other person or party, except as otherwise provided for in this Privacy Policy.

SPECIAL OFFERS AND UPDATES

Our users will occasionally receive information on products, services, special events, and possibly a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications.
