Privacy policy

Allocated is a private wine club in Toronto. This policy explains what we collect when you visit the site, apply for membership, contact us, join the list, or book an experience.

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the site includes:

• Application and profile details: name, email address, phone number, address, city, profession, social handles, wine preferences, and notes you choose to provide.
• Membership activity: tier, subscription state, event reservations, attendance history, guest counts, and wines you save to your notebook.
• Payment identifiers: customer and subscription identifiers. We do not store full card numbers.
• Technical information: IP address, browser details, request metadata, and a secure session cookie used to keep you signed in.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To review applications and manage invitations.
• To operate memberships, event reservations, door lists, and member profiles.
• To send service emails such as invitations, password resets, and RSVP confirmations.
• To process subscriptions and billing.
• To protect the site from abuse, troubleshoot errors, and meet legal obligations.

We use trusted service providers to run the club: hosting, database storage, payments, and transactional email. These services process information only as needed to provide their infrastructure, payment, and email services to Allocated.

Passwords are hashed, member sessions are stored in secure cookies, and production secrets are kept outside the codebase. No internet service can be made perfectly secure, but we use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards for the scale and nature of the club.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• The right to access your personal information.
• The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• The right to request deletion of your information.
• The right to opt out of non-essential communications.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
