We may also disclose personal information to comply with legal obligations (such as paying taxes); to respond to requests from government or other public authorities; to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of Brown-Forman, you or others; and to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain. These legal obligations and government requests can include laws and authorities outside your country of residence.

OTHER INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We and our service providers also may collect other information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an identifiable individual (referred to as “other information”).  This may include:

• Server log files and environmental variables
• App usage data
• Information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies
• Demographic information and other information provided by you that does not reveal your specific identity
• Information that has been aggregated in a manner such that it no longer reveals your specific identity

If we are required to treat other information as personal information under applicable law, then we may use and disclose it for the purposes for which we use and disclose personal information detailed in this Policy.

Other information may be collected in a variety of ways, including:

• Through your browser or device
  • Server Log Files.  We use W3C* compliant extended log files when recording web-server activity on our web servers including, for example, the IP address (a number automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider), device identifier, time and date of request, page requested, user agent, referrer and cookie values sent or received.  The server log files are collected and analyzed to provide information about user activity in the aggregate and identify potential errors or problems with website performance.  Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites.  *W3C is an international consortium that develops web standards and guidelines.  Further information is available at www.w3c.org.
  • Environmental Variables.  We and our service providers may also collect certain environmental variables, such as your computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, OS version, device manufacturer and model, Internet browser, and Internet browser version.  These environmental variables are collected by most browsers and can be used to optimize your experience on the Website.

• Through your use of one of our mobile apps;  When you download and use one of our mobile applications, we and our service providers may track and collect app usage data, such as the date and time the app on your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded to the app based on your device number.
• Using cookies; Please read our Cookie Policy [link]

• Using pixel tags and other similar technologies

We and our service providers may also use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") in connection with some Website pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, compile aggregate statistics about Website usage and response rates.  A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1) that is ordinarily not visible to Website visitors and may be associated with Cookies on the visitors’ hard drives.  When used in HTML-formatted e-mail messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the e-mail has been opened.

Our websites may also provide us with information including details of the content you access and interact with. This is done through Brown-Forman websites and through cross-website tracking. We use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your device browser and operating system, IP address, links you click and pages you open, which we then use to tailor marketing messages. For more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy. We will provide personalized services either with your consent or because we have a legitimate interest.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of our services and report on activities and trends.  Google Analytics may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources.  You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpag....

• Physical location

We may collect the physical location of your device if you use a location-based service. Before this information is collected, you may be permitted to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location, but if you do, we and/or our marketing partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content.

• Do Not Track Signals;  We do not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals

USES AND DISCLOSURES OF OTHER INFORMATION

We may use and disclose other information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law.  In some instances, we may combine other information with personal information.  In those instances we will treat the combined information as personal information while it is combined.

Currently, two types of cookies are used on this Website. However, cookies may be changed at any time by updating this posting. Please refer to the "Last Updated" legend at the top of this posting.

Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site.

We use session cookies to:

• Carry information across pages of our Website and maintain your preferred language throughout the session.

Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser even after the browser is closed. The length of time a cookie remains depends on its lifespan.

We use persistent cookies to:

• Help us recognize that you have already affirmed your age with the Website. If you select the “Remember Me” option, a non-expiring cookie will be used to keep your birth date and country of residence and allows re-entry to the Website without having to affirm your age each time you visit. If you do not choose the “Remember Me” feature, then a cookie is held for two hours and allows re-entry to the Website without having to affirm your age each time you visit. After two hours, you will be prompted to affirm your age again to gain entry to our Website.
• Track the number of entries to a contest/sweepstakes/prize draw. If a contest/sweepstakes/prize draw allows only one entry per day, a cookie may be used to prevent multiple entries. This type of cookie is used only if you enter a contest/sweepstakes/prize draw.
• Generate anonymous, aggregated statistics about the visitors to this Website by using Google Analytics. These statistics help us understand how users navigate the Website and help us improve the structure of our Website. These statistics include for example: most popular and least popular pages visited, amount of time visitors stay on the site and the percentage of visitors that leave the site before entering their birth date. These cookies expire within two years after you leave the Website. Google offers instructions to opt out of tracking by Google Analytics across all websites at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Some of the pages you visit on our website use content embedded from another website, for example YouTube. You may be sent cookies from these websites. These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests.

They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.

We don’t actually control these cookies and we would recommend that you visit these third parties for more information about their cookies:
