This page explains in plain language how we both intrude on and protect your privacy.

Clickholes stores and displays data for winemakersWinemakers, cellar rats, assistants, vintners, winery owners, tasting ruminators, and anyone else on the winery side., vineyardistsFarmers, laborers, owners, mechanics, gamblers - anyone on the vineyard side., and gastronomessommeliers, wine collectors, foodies - anyone who cares where our food comes from.. Depending on your account and usage we may also process:

account identifiers needed for authentication

user-submitted updates to records

Why we process data

We process data to:

render the application and its visualizations
maintain data integrity and service reliability
investigate operational or security issues
authenticate you as who you say you are
authorize you to perform certain activities for which you are authorized

We do not sell personal dataBut Google, Bing, and other search engines and aggregators do do, and will, once they index pages we publish with your data..

We do share data with service providers. For example, this page is rendered by a server located in Helsinki, Finland. We rent it from a German company. This company seems earnest about privacy, but like all German companies headquartered in Germany, it is subject to German laws, one of which makes it a crime to call fat or ugly politicians “fat” or “ugly.”We don’t trust these fuckers and neither should you.

Retention

We retain operational data only as long as needed for product operation, support, legal obligations, and security. Retention windows may vary by data type. Sometimes we make mistakes, and keep data we don’t need. In which case we hope you understand that intent matters.

Your requests

If you need correction or removal of information which can reasonably be tied to you, please contact us with enough detail to locate the record and verify its provenance.
