Privacy Policy

Last Modified: April 30, 2022

Hart and Vine LLC, doing business as NSHVLL (“we,” “our”, “us”, and “NSHVLL”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how NSHVLL collects, uses, and shares personal information in connection with your use of our services, including those offered through our websites, communications (e.g., emails, phone calls, and texts), and mobile applications (collectively, the “Service”).

When you use the Service, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

We may collect, transmit, and store information about you in connection with your use of the Service, including any information you send to or through the Service. We use that information to provide the Service’s functionality, improve the Service’s quality, engage in research and analysis relating to the Service, personalize your experience, track usage of the Service, provide feedback to third party businesses that are listed on the Service, display relevant advertising, market the Service, provide customer support, message you, back up our systems, allow for disaster recovery, enhance the security of the Service, and comply with legal obligations. Even when we do not retain such information, it still must be transmitted to our servers initially and stored long enough to process.

Information collected may include the following:

  • Account Information. When you create a NSHVLL account, we store and use the information you provide during that process, such as the first and last name you enter, email address, and any other information you may provide during the account creation process. We may publicly display the name that you provide, as well as any photo or other content you submit through the account creation process, as part of your account profile.

  • Public Content. Your contributions to the Service are intended for public consumption and are therefore viewable by the public, including your lists. Your account profile (e.g., your name, e-mail address, user profile photo or image, biographical description, and website address) is also intended for public consumption. You can limit the public nature of your lists through your list settings.

  • Activity. We store information about your use of the Service, such as your search activity, the pages you view, the date and time of your visits, or links you may select from within this website to other areas of the Internet. We also store information that your computer or mobile device may provide to us in connection with your use of the Service, such as your browser type, type of computer or mobile device, browser language, IP address, geolocation, and requested and referring URLs and mobile applications.

We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service, improve website performance, and to communicate directly with you, such as to send you email messages about products and services that may be of interest to you. We may also send you service-related emails or messages (e.g., account verification, changes or updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). Similarly, if you request information from us through an online contact form or if you email us, we collect the information you provide (e.g., name, telephone number, email address) so that we can respond to you. For more information about your communication preferences, see the “Your Rights” section below.

You are not required to provide any personally identifiable information to merely access or visit this website.

2. How We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technology

We may use cookies and similar technology (“Cookies”) in connection with your use of the Service. Cookies may contain unique identifiers, and reside, among other places, on your computer or mobile device, in emails we send to you, and on our web pages. Cookies may transmit information about you and your use of the Service, such as your browser type, search preferences, IP address, and the date and time of your use. Cookies may be persistent or stored only during an individual session.

The Cookies we use fall into two categories:

  • Essential. These cookies are necessary to help you access and move around the website and use all its features. Without these cookies, the website would not work properly and you would not be able to use certain important features. For example, we use a cookie to keep you logged in during your visit, so the site does not require you to log in repeatedly to access different pages.

  • Analytics. We use these cookies to help us understand how the website is being used and how we can improve your experience on it. These cookies can provide us with information to help us understand which parts of the website interest our visitors and if they experience any errors. We use these cookies to test different designs and features for our sites and we also use them to help us monitor how visitors reach the website.

You can set some Cookie preferences through your device or browser settings, but doing so may affect the functionality of the Service. The method for disabling Cookies may vary by device and browser, but can usually be found in your device or browser preferences or security settings.

3. How We Share Personal Information

NSHVLL respects your privacy and will never sell, trade, or transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties (beyond what is necessary for fulfilling a customer transaction or for the basic functionality of an online service) without your consent.

We do, however, share your user profile name and photo or image with other website users who may view the content you have uploaded to the website. This data sharing enables NSHVLL to provide the website’s list-sharing services.

NSHVLL may release personal information to enforce its Website Terms and Conditions of Use, other Terms and Conditions, manage its business, protect users or the general public, or to otherwise comply with legal obligations.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

4. Data Protection

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable authorities of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

It is important to understand that no security measures are absolute. We cannot guarantee the safety of any information you provide to us.

Please note that any public profile information that you post on the website, or on NSHVLL’s social media pages or groups, as well as any public lists you create, become public and third parties may use your information. NSHVLL is not responsible for any unauthorized uses by third parties in such context. You disclose such information at your own risk.

5. Links to Third-Party Websites and Services

For your convenience, our Service may provide links to third-party websites or services that we do not own or operate, including those of our business partners and social media sites. We are not responsible for the practices employed by any websites or services linked to or from the Service, including the information or content contained within them. Your browsing and interaction on any other website or service are subject to the applicable third party’s rules and policies, not ours. If you are using a third-party website or service, you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site or service before providing any personal information.

6. Children’s Privacy

The Service is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we revise this Privacy Policy in a way that will materially change the way we use your personal information, we will notify you by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account (if applicable) or by placing a prominent notice on our website.

10. European Residents

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union and we are responsible as controller of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

If you are located in the United Kingdom (“UK”), we are regulated under UK data regulations known as “UK GDPR.”

This website is operated in the United States and third parties with whom we might share your personal information as explained above are also located in the United States. If you are located in the EEA, UK or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide will be transferred to the United States. By using this website, participating in any of its services and/or providing your information, you consent to this transfer.

These countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. While the European Commission has not given a formal decision that the United States provides an adequate level of data protection similar to those which apply in the United Kingdom and EEA, any transfer of your personal information will be subject to the derogation in Article 49 permitting non-repetitive transfers that concern only a limited number of data subjects, as permitted by Article 49 of the General Data Protection Regulation that is designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal information.

  • Require us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold
  • Require the erasure of personal information concerning you in certain situations
