Who Else Received Your Personal Information?

We rely on third-party service providers and other businesses with whom we contract to help provide you the services we offer on this website. Where you participate in a service that we operate with the help of third parties, we will need to share information you provide to us with those third parties. For example, when you make a purchase, we share the information you provide in registering for that purchase with vendors needed to fill the order, with credit card processing companies who process the transaction, and with service providers who help us make this service operate online. These companies have agreed not to disclose any of your personal information for any purpose unrelated to providing the services offered on our website. We also may be partnering with other third parties on a given promotion or sweepstakes; those third parties may be given access to your personal information, and have agreed to treat such information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may also share aggregated, non-identifiable data regarding persons who visit our website in order to promote our products and to expand and develop new relationships with others.

You should always check the privacy policy of the website you are visiting in order to be sure you know how the operator of that website will collect data from you and what the operator of that website will do with the data. Inclusion of any link on our website does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by Vermont Cider Co. of the linked website or any association with its operators.
