If you can't or won't provide Wine Selectors with the personal information it reasonably requires, Wine Selectors may be unable to provide you the information, products or services you wish to buy or receive.
How does Wine Selectors use your personal information?
Wine Selectors may use your personal information for a range of purposes including:
- To provide you with information you request regarding the products or services Wine Selectors offers or special offers provided by third parties to Wine Selectors’ customers through Wine Selectors.
