Privacy Policy

We Like Bargains. Not Snooping.

Welcome to The Bargain Bottle Shop, a trading name of Tipple Tours Ltd.

We believe your personal information is a bit like the last bottle in a clearance sale. It belongs to you, we look after it carefully, and we certainly don't hand it to random strangers.

This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what happens to it. (No legal dictionary required.)

Who We Are

The Bargain Bottle Shop is operated by Tipple Tours Ltd.

Website: www.thebargainbottleshop.com
Email: cheers@thebargainbottleshop.com

What We Collect

When you place an order or contact us, we may collect:

• Your name
• Delivery address
• Billing address
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Order history
• Products you've purchased
• Age confirmation (where required)
• Any messages you send us

If you browse our website we may also collect:

• Device type
• Browser
• IP address
• Pages visited
• Cookies (the digital kind, sadly not chocolate chip)

Why We Need It

Mainly because delivering wine to "Dave, somewhere near Cambridge" isn't very effective.

We use your information to:

• Process orders
• Deliver your purchases
• Handle returns
• Contact you about your order
• Improve our website
• Prevent fraud
• Comply with UK law

If you've signed up to receive emails, we'll also occasionally send you:

• New bargains
• Limited offers
• Ridiculous products
• The occasional terrible joke

You can unsubscribe whenever you like. We promise not to take it personally.

Payments

We never see or store your full card details. Payments are processed securely by trusted payment providers such as Stripe or Shopify Payments. They're much better at security than we are.

Cookies

Yes, we use cookies. Sadly they're digital rather than chocolate. Some help the website work. Some help us understand what people like. Some help show relevant adverts. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time.

Who We Share Information With

Only people who genuinely need it. Such as:

• Payment providers
• Delivery companies
• Website providers
• Analytics services
• Legal authorities (if we're required to)

We do not sell your personal information. Ever. Not even for unlimited free wine.

Marketing

We'll only send marketing emails if you've asked us to. If you change your mind, every email contains an unsubscribe link. One click. No guilt trip.

Keeping Your Information Safe

We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure. Unfortunately we can't stop your mate shouting your password across the pub. Please use strong passwords and keep them secret.

How Long We Keep It

Only for as long as we need it. Some information has to be kept for accounting and legal purposes. After that, it's deleted securely.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• See the information we hold
• Correct inaccurate information
• Ask us to delete your information (where legally possible)
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent for marketing

Simply email cheers@thebargainbottleshop.com. We'll be happy to help.

Children's Privacy

We only sell alcohol to people aged 18 or over. If you're under 18, please don't provide us with personal information or attempt to buy alcohol.

Changes To This Policy

Sometimes we update this page. Usually because lawyers have been busy. The latest version will always appear here.

Questions?

Drop us an email: cheers@thebargainbottleshop.com. We'll reply as quickly as possible. Probably with less legal jargon than this page.
