Your information, clearly explained

Privacy, in plain words

This policy explains what information Avec Story may receive, why it is used and the choices available to you when you visit this editorial site.

Avec Story respects your privacy. This page describes the information connected with your use of this site, how it may be handled and how to get in touch with a privacy question.

A simple note: this is an editorial website for botanical sparkling drink discovery. It is not designed to collect more information than is reasonably needed to operate the site and respond to messages.

Information we may receive

We may receive information that you choose to provide when you email us or submit a form on the site. This may include your name, email address and the contents of your message.

Basic technical information may also be recorded when a browser loads a page, such as device and browser type, pages viewed, approximate region, referring page and the time of a visit. This information is used to keep the site functioning and to understand general readership patterns.

Information you provide

If you contact us, we use the details in your message only to read, manage and respond to that enquiry. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in ordinary email correspondence.

How information is used

Information received through the site may be used to:

  • respond to questions, corrections or other messages;
  • maintain the security and reliable operation of the site;
  • understand broad, non-identifying patterns in how pages are used;
  • meet legal obligations or protect the site and its readers where necessary.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use contact details to send promotional messages unless you have specifically asked to receive them.

Cookies and similar technology

Cookies are small files that can help a site remember a browser or measure general site activity. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies through its settings. Choosing to do so can affect how some websites function.

Avec Story aims to keep technical measurement proportionate. Any information used for site maintenance or aggregate analysis is handled as general site-use information, not as a profile of you.

When information may be shared

Information may be handled by providers that support website hosting, security or email delivery, only where needed for those services. They are expected to handle information appropriately and for the relevant purpose.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to respond to a valid legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights or operation of Avec Story and its readers.

Retention and security

We keep messages and related information only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain records or meet applicable obligations. No online system can guarantee complete security, but reasonable safeguards are used to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.

Your choices

You can ask about the personal information connected with a message you have sent, request a correction or ask us to delete it where applicable. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

This site is intended for a general adult audience. If you believe personal information belonging to a child has been sent to us, please contact us so we can review the matter.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if site practices or applicable requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when a material update is published.
