Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 28, 2026
St. James Winery, Inc. (“St. James Winery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through stjameswinery.com and our online store, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. When you place an order, join our Wine Club, or sign up for our newsletter, we collect information such as your name, billing and shipping address, phone number, email address, date of birth, and payment information. Date of birth is collected and used to confirm that you meet the legal age requirement to purchase alcohol.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our site. See “Cookies and Similar Technologies” below for details.
We do not have a contact form on this website. If you reach out to us by phone or email, we retain that correspondence only to respond to you and for our records.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process and fulfill orders, including verifying that you are of legal drinking age;
- Administer Wine Club memberships and send related communications;
- Send marketing and promotional communications to newsletter subscribers who have opted in;
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website;
- Comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations related to the sale and shipment of alcohol; and
- Protect against fraud and misuse of our website and services.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies — small data files stored on your device — to operate correctly and to understand how visitors use our site.
Necessary cookies are required for core site functionality, such as maintaining your shopping cart, confirming you meet our age requirement, and keeping the site secure. These cannot be disabled.
Functional and analytics cookies, if used, help us understand site traffic and improve the visitor experience. Where required by law, these cookies are only set with your consent.
We do not currently use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If this changes, our cookie banner will let you review and choose which categories of non-essential cookies to allow, and you can update your preferences at any time using the cookie settings link in our site footer.
We do not control cookies that may be set by third-party websites you reach through links on our site, including social media platforms.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We share personal information only with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, order fulfillment, and shipping/delivery carriers (who may require an adult signature and ID verification at delivery as required by law), and email delivery for newsletter communications. These providers are only permitted to use your information to perform services for us and are contractually restricted from using it for any other purpose.
We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of St. James Winery, our customers, or others.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable state privacy laws (such as those in California and other states) to:
- Know what personal information we have collected about you;
- Request access to or a copy of that information;
- Request correction of inaccurate information;
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions; and
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
Because we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is currently no need for an opt-out of sale/share request. You may still contact us with any privacy question or request using the information below, and we will respond consistent with applicable law.
Data Security
We use commercially reasonable safeguards, including encryption (SSL/TLS) during transmission, to protect the information you provide to us. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Age Requirements
Our products are intended only for individuals 21 years of age or older. Visitors must confirm they are 21 or older before entering our website, and all orders require verification of legal drinking age at checkout and at the time of delivery.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The “Last Updated” date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
