Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 October 2026

  1. About This Policy

Vinbros Limited operates vinbroswine.com. References to “we”, “us” and “our” mean Vinbros Limited.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal information when customers visit our website, place orders or communicate with us.

We handle personal information in accordance with Hong Kong’s Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) and other applicable data protection requirements.

  1. Information We Collect

Depending on how our website and services are used, we may collect:

  • Contact information: names, email addresses, telephone or WhatsApp numbers, and billing and delivery addresses.
  • Order information: products purchased, quantities, order history, delivery instructions and related correspondence.
  • Payment information: payment references, remittance details, cheque information and payment evidence supplied to confirm payment.
  • Age confirmation information: declarations and, where reasonably necessary, information used to establish that purchasers and recipients meet applicable age requirements.
  • Customer service information: enquiries, complaints, photographs, unpacking videos and other material supplied in connection with an order.
  • Account information: login and account details where a customer chooses to create an account.
  • Technical information: IP addresses, browser and device information, website activity and security logs generated when our website is accessed.
  • Preferences: communication choices and any consent or withdrawal of consent recorded by us.

Please provide only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. Payment evidence should have unrelated account balances and transactions removed or obscured.

  1. How We Collect Information

We collect personal information when customers:

  • Place an order or create an account;
  • Submit an enquiry or contact us by email, WhatsApp or another available channel;
  • Provide payment confirmation;
  • Arrange delivery or customs clearance;
  • Submit an age declaration;
  • Report a delivery issue or product concern; or
  • Subscribe to communications, where this option is available.

We may also receive information from a purchaser arranging a gift, a delivery recipient, banks, couriers or other parties involved in fulfilling an order.

Anyone providing another person’s information should have appropriate authority to do so and make this Privacy Policy available to that person.

  1. Why We Use Information

We use personal information as reasonably necessary to:

  • Process, confirm and fulfil orders;
  • Verify payments and administer refunds;
  • Communicate about stock, vintages, bottle condition, packaging and delivery;
  • Arrange shipping, insurance and customs clearance;
  • Confirm age eligibility and support lawful alcohol sales;
  • Respond to enquiries, complaints and product claims;
  • Maintain customer accounts and transaction records;
  • Protect our website and prevent fraud or misuse;
  • Diagnose technical problems and maintain website functionality;
  • Comply with legal, accounting and regulatory obligations; and
  • Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where consent or another legal requirement applies to a particular use, we will meet that requirement before proceeding.

  1. Required and Optional Information

Information necessary to process an order, confirm payment, establish age eligibility or complete delivery must be provided for us to perform the relevant service.

If essential information is missing, we may be unable to accept or fulfil an order.

Optional information will be identified where appropriate. Consent to marketing is not a condition of purchasing from us.

  1. Payment Information

Our accepted payment methods include bank transfer, telegraphic transfer (T/T), cheque and FPS.

We may use payment references, remittance details and payment evidence to reconcile payments, investigate discrepancies and process refunds.

Please do not send online banking passwords, PINs, one-time verification codes or other banking login credentials.

Banks and financial institutions process information under their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

  1. Age Confirmation

Our website and alcoholic products are intended for persons aged 18 or above who also meet the applicable legal age requirements in the relevant destination.

We may request age confirmation from purchasers and recipients. Where further verification is reasonably necessary, we will explain what information is required and why.

We aim to minimise information collected for age checks. We do not routinely require customers to email copies of identity documents merely to browse our website.

If we become aware that information has been collected from an underage person inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to address the matter, including deleting information that is not required for legal or other legitimate purposes.

  1. Disclosure to Other Parties

We may disclose relevant personal information to the following parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Policy:

  • Banks and financial institutions;
  • Couriers, freight forwarders, warehouses and delivery partners;
  • Customs brokers, customs authorities and other government or regulatory bodies;
  • Insurers and parties handling delivery or insurance claims;
  • Website hosting, IT, security and technical support providers;
  • Email and business communication service providers;
  • Accountants, auditors, legal advisers and other professional advisers; and
  • Other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

We seek to limit disclosure to information reasonably needed for the relevant task and require appropriate protection where service providers process information on our behalf.

We do not sell customers’ personal information.

  1. Overseas Processing and Transfers

International delivery and the use of technology or communication providers may involve transferring, storing or processing personal information outside Hong Kong.

For example, an overseas courier or customs authority may need recipient and order information to complete delivery.

We take reasonably practicable steps to protect personal information involved in these arrangements and comply with applicable transfer requirements. The laws and practices of overseas destinations may differ from those in Hong Kong.

  1. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to support functions such as:

  • Maintaining shopping cart and checkout sessions;
  • Remembering age confirmation and selected preferences;
  • Supporting customer login, where available; and
  • Protecting the website against misuse.

Where analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies are used, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent where required by applicable law.

Browser settings can be used to manage or delete cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect shopping cart, checkout, login or preference features.

Deleting cookies or browser storage may cause our age confirmation prompt to appear again.

  1. Marketing Communications

If we offer marketing communications, we will provide the required information and obtain the necessary consent before using personal information for that purpose.

With appropriate consent, we may use a customer’s name and selected contact details to communicate about our wine, whisky, Champagne, other alcoholic beverages, offers and related events.

Customers may decline marketing or withdraw consent at any time, free of charge, by following an available unsubscribe instruction or emailing info@vinbroswine.com.

We will not provide personal information to another organisation for its own direct marketing without meeting applicable notice and consent requirements.

Order confirmations, delivery updates, payment enquiries and other necessary service messages are separate from marketing communications.

  1. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods depend on matters such as:

  • Order fulfilment and after-sales enquiries;
  • Accounting and tax record requirements;
  • Customs and regulatory requirements;
  • Outstanding complaints, claims or proceedings; and
  • Fraud prevention and security needs.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it or arrange its secure disposal.

Withdrawal of marketing consent does not require us to delete transaction records that we must otherwise retain. We may keep a limited suppression record to respect an opt-out request.

  1. Security

We take reasonably practicable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised or accidental access, processing, loss, deletion or use.

Access is limited according to operational needs, and service providers are expected to apply appropriate safeguards.

No website, electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Customers should protect account credentials and contact us promptly if they suspect misuse involving our services.

  1. Access, Correction and Other Requests

Subject to applicable law, individuals may request access to personal information we hold about them and correction of inaccurate information.

Requests may be sent to info@vinbroswine.com, with the subject line “Personal Data Request”.

We may request reasonable information to verify identity before responding. Any fee for an access request will be limited to what applicable law permits.

We will respond within applicable statutory time limits. If a request cannot be fulfilled, we will explain the reason where required.

Where additional rights apply under the law governing a particular transaction or processing activity, we will address requests in accordance with that law. Deletion requests remain subject to lawful retention requirements.

  1. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Communications through platforms such as WhatsApp are also subject to the platform provider’s own terms and privacy practices.

This Policy covers our handling of personal information. Customers should review the privacy policies of third parties they use.

  1. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our operations, website or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date. Where a change requires additional notice or consent, we will take the appropriate steps.
