Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via use of the site, email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

The personal information held by us is held on and processed by computers situated in the United Kingdom.

If all of the assets which The Alcohol-Free Shop uses to operate its business (or substantially all of them) are acquired by a third party, we may transfer personal data we then hold to that party.
