This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your Personal Information when you visit or make a purchase from blueforests.com (the “Site”) or otherwise interact with us (for example, at our farm or at events).

You can disable cookies in your browser or visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt‑out page at http://optout.networkadvertising.org to limit certain tracking technologies.

2. How We Use Your Personal Information

We process your Personal Information to:
• Fulfil and manage orders – including payment processing, age verification, shipping, returns, and customer support.
• Communicate with you – confirmations, receipts, product updates, and customer‑service messages.
• Improve our Site and products – analytics, debugging, and research to make our liqueur and farm experience better.
• Personalise marketing – show you offers, news, or ads we think you’ll like based on your preferences and browsing behaviour.
• Detect and prevent fraud or security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations – alcohol‑related age checks, tax, and accounting rules.

3. How We Share Personal Information

We disclose Personal Information only as necessary:
• Service Providers – e‑commerce platform (Shopify), payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay), email service (Klaviyo), analytics providers (Google Analytics), advertising networks (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok), fulfillment centres, and shipping carriers (UPS, USPS, FedEx).

• Legal & Compliance – to comply with applicable law, court orders, or defend our rights.
• With Consent – if you ask us to share information with a partner or social‑media platform.

We do not sell your Personal Information for money, but some disclosures (e.g., sharing with advertising partners) may constitute “selling” or “sharing” for cross‑context behavioural advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws. You can opt out as described below.

5. Do Not Track Signals
