Privacy Policy

Bierbower Cues takes your privacy seriously.  We want you to know how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal data.  If you have any questions about these policies please contact for assistance.

Bierbower Cues websites (collectively "Site" or "Sites" in this document) refer to sites owned and operated by Bierbower Cues.  This Privacy Policy applies only to personal data that we collect on our Sites.  This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites.

Personal data means information that relates to you as an individually identifiable person, such as your name, e-mail address, and phone number.

Collection of Information - What Personal Data We Collect

1. Information You Give Us

We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide us with through the Site.  For example, we collect information from you when you fill out a contact request form on the Site.  The personal data we collect from you may include :

    Including your name, email address, and phone number.

  • Messages you send to Bierbower Cues

    Such as in a product query.

    Such as in a request for assistance.

2. Information We Collect Through Technology On The Site

We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you.  When you access and use the Site, Bierbower Cues and, in some cases, our third-party service providers collect information about how you interact with the Site.  The personal data we collect from you may include :

  • IP Address

    When you visit the Site we collect your device identifier, browser information, and Internet Protocol (IP) address.  An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your Internet service provider (ISP), company, association, or university.  While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address.  We do not link your personal data to device identifier information, browser information, and IP addresses.  Where, according to local law, IP addresses and the like are considered personal data, then we treat them as such.

  • Cookies

    Cookies are small pieces of data that the Site or our service provider transfers through your Web browser that enables the Site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.  We use cookies to help us understand how users use the Site.  For example, cookies gather information about how long you spend on a web page so that we can understand what web pages are of most interest to users.  Our cookies do not collect your personal data, except to the extent that IP addresses might be considered personal data.

    If you prefer, you can choose to have your browser warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off cookies by adjusting your browser settings.  If you turn off your cookies, some of the features on the Site may not function properly.

  • Google Analytics

    We use cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors.  These cookies collect data tied to a user's IP address, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Site.  Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer better Site experiences and tools in the future.  Google Analytics does not collect any personal data (other than IP Address which may be considered personal data in some countries).  You can obtain more information about Google Analytics here.

3. Information Third Parties Provide About You

We supplement the information we collect about you through the Site with records received from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you. For example, the service provider that processes orders for Bierbower Cues shares your order information, but not payment information, with us, which we then use for order processing management.

4. Information You Provide To A Third Party

The Site includes links from the Site to sites or applications operated by third parties ("Third-Party Sites").  Bierbower Cues does not control any Third-Party Sites and is not responsible for any information they may collect.  The information collection practices of a Third-Party Site are governed by its privacy policy.  It is your choice to enter any Third-Party Site.  We recommend that you read its privacy policy.

    • In connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all of our membership interests and/or assets or other corporate change, including to any prospective purchasers.

How Do We Protect Personal Data We Collect

The security and confidentiality of your personal data is important to us.  We have technical, administrative, and physical security measures in place to protect your personal data from unauthorized access or disclosure and improper use.

For example, we restrict access to your personal data.  Only employees who need the personal data to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personal data.  Employees with access to personal data are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data.
