Visiting our Site
You can visit our site without telling us who you are or providing us with any information. However, we collect the IP [Internet protocol] addresses of all visitors to our site and other related information such as page requests, browser type, operating system and average time spent on the site. We use this information to monitor and evaluate our site.
Cookies
Our Site uses a technology called "cookies". A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. All pages on our Site where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. If you have registered with our Site, these cookies
• may let us know who you are,
• are necessary to access your account information [stored on our computers] in order to deliver products and personalized services, and
• will provide us and our Service Providers with information that we will use to personalize our Site in accordance with your preferences.
Cookies are also required to optimize your shopping experience in that they allow you to add multiple items to your shopping basket before checking out. You may set your Web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. If you decide not to accept cookies from our Sites, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our Sites.

Security of Personal Information
We will maintain the confidentiality of all personal information collected and only transfer such information to those who require such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We maintain your personal information for as long as required for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
Security Measures on our Site
Secure Shopping
When you place orders on our Site, all of your order information, including your credit card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our Sites from capturing and viewing your personal information.
Beefeaters also takes the following measures to protect your personal information online:
Passwords
To provide you with an increased level of security, online access to your personal information is protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. Beefeaters will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication, including unsolicited letter, phone calls or emails.
Order Information
Since any order information you provide to us on our site will be transmitted using a secure connection, if your Web browser cannot support this level of security, you will not be able to order products through our sites. The most recent versions of Netscape NavigatorTM and Microsoft Internet Explorer® can support a secure connection and can be downloaded for free from the Netscape and Microsoft website respectively.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we make every effort to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, Beefeaters cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us on our site.
