Our Privacy Policy

This privacy policy sets out how we, William Cadenhead Ltd, uses, stores and protects any personal information you give us either through this website or through your interactions with us. We adhere to the GDPR rules and regulations.

Information we collect

Through the forms on the website, we may collect the following information that could identify you:

  • Your name,
  • Contact information, including address, phone number and email address
  • Personal details, for example, your T-shirt size if you’re buying a T-shirt.
  • The IP address of the network you use to fill the form in through

Why we collect this information

We require this information for the following situations:

  • In situations where you have requested information e.g. from the contact us page and the Cadenheads warehouse tasting page, we will only use that information to answer your question or fulfil your request. After this, we will not use your information for any other purpose unless otherwise stated.
  • When you are signing up for a recurring newsletter, either as part of one of the newsletter sign up forms or as an additional part of a separate sign up form we will use that contact information to contact you with newsletters or associated promotional messages. All of these emails will have an option to unsubscribe from the messages, in this case, we will not contact you again. Our email marketing software provides analytics to inform us of the performance of these emails and what content was of interest to you.
  • In signing up for the Cadenheads Club form we will only use this information in the day to day running of the club. Part of this is an Email newsletter (separate to the non-Cadenhead club email address), you can also unsubscribe from this email at any time.
  • We will occasionally run external events where we will use third party services to manage data processes, these will be listed in the supplier’s section below. Only data that is required to complete the process will be used.

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to any other company unless we have your permission or are required to do so by law. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting, but this would only be as part of our normal communication pattern i.e. email newsletter or magazine.

You have the ability and the right to manage and keep your data up to date.

We will not charge you for making these requests, unless (inline with the GDPR regulations) the volume of requests that you make of us are deemed as unreasonable, but we will contact you if this ever became the case.

How long will we store your data

We will only store your data for as long as we have to.

Regular communication emails (e.g. Cadenhead club and HTML newsletter) will be stored for as long as you stay subscribed to the communication, you can unsubscribe at any time.

If you unsubscribe from either HTML newsletter your details are added to a sheet which keeps a record that you have unsubscribed. This is only kept to stop an accidental resubscribe of your information, this data will be held indefinitely unless you request its deletion.

Form-based transactional enquiries (e.g. contact us, Warehouse tasting enquiries) will be only be stored in data backups and will be cleared out every 5 years but can also be deleted upon request.

Our Data Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

We only allow employees who need access to your data to get access to your data. As an example, an employee running an event would be able to see that you’re attending, but a marketing employee may only see headline figures of the event rather than individual details.

Any information that you send to us through our website is sent over a secured data connection and stored on either secured servers which we run or on secured external cloud services.
