Privacy Policy

Wineries Near Me ("we", "us", "this site") operates the website wineriesnearme.us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it's used, and the choices you have. We don't sell user data and we don't run a user-account system.

By visiting this site you confirm you are of legal drinking age in your jurisdiction. Information on this site is for general reference only and does not constitute an endorsement of any alcoholic beverage.

Information we collect

We don't ask you for any personal information directly. We do receive standard request data when you visit a page:

• Your IP address (used to determine general location for analytics)
• Your browser type and operating system (user agent)
• The page you visited and the time of the visit
• The referring URL, if any

This information is collected automatically by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and by the analytics tools listed below.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses two third-party analytics services:

• Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js) — measures aggregate site traffic. May set first- and third-party cookies. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
• Ahrefs Web Analytics — measures aggregate site traffic. See ahrefs.com/legal/privacy.

You can block these scripts using your browser's tracking protection, an ad-blocker, or by declining tracking in supported browsers. We do not run any advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking pixels at this time.

Where the data on this site comes from

The winery listings on this site are sourced primarily from OpenStreetMap (the craft=winery tagging community), enriched where possible with data from Wikidata and individual winery websites. None of that information is personal data about you.

Outbound links and embedded content

Pages on this site link to and embed content from third parties — including OpenStreetMap (map embeds), Google Maps (directions), Wikipedia, and the official websites of individual wineries. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. When you follow an outbound link or load an embed, that third party may receive request data as described in their own privacy policies.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under privacy laws like GDPR (EU) or CCPA (California). These typically include the right to know what data is held about you, to request deletion, and to opt out of "sale" of personal information. Since we don't sell data and we don't store personal data ourselves (only aggregate analytics held by Google and Ahrefs), most of these rights are exercised by configuring those services or your browser directly. For any privacy request, email us at hi@wineriesnearme.us.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children. It contains information about alcoholic beverages and is intended for adults of legal drinking age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves (for example, when we add additional analytics or a future advertising network). Updates will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
