Privacy

Last updated August 20, 2026.

Information you provide

When you join our mailing list or contact us, we receive the information you submit. We use it to manage subscriptions, respond to inquiries, prevent abuse, and operate the website.

Store locator and location

The store locator can use a city, state, ZIP code, address, or—only after you choose “Use My Location”—your browser’s approximate coordinates to calculate nearby retailers. We do not add your search or browser location to the retailer database, and we do not send exact search text or coordinates to analytics.

The locator uses Google Maps Platform for map display, address resolution, and directions. Google may process technical information under the Google Privacy Policy.

Analytics and measurement

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar identifiers and may receive information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, device and browser information, and interactions with links or page content. We do not send exact store-locator search text or browser coordinates to Google Analytics. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Service providers

We use service providers for website hosting, security, email delivery, mailing-list management, maps, and measurement. They process information only to provide those services under their applicable terms.

Cookies and security

We use a first-party cookie to remember age verification, Google Analytics may set measurement cookies, and a secure session cookie is used for authorized store administrators. Security services may process network and browser information to detect automated abuse.

Your choices

You may decline browser location access and search by city or ZIP instead. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings and may use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You can unsubscribe using a link in a marketing email. For privacy questions, contact cheers@rtwhiskey.com.

Policy review

This operational draft should be reviewed by Rick Thomas Distillery before publication and updated whenever site services or data practices change.
