We are building a strong tradition of providing quality goods and excellent customer service. Part of achieving this goal involves working with information that helps us understand what customers want when they visit our site.

Information You Provide Us

In several areas, we ask you to provide information by filling out and submitting an online form. Following is a list of the information we request, arranged by site location, and details on how we use this information.

Checkout – We ask for your name, address and contact information so we can send you your order, and so we can contact you if we have a question about your order. We ask for credit card information so we can fulfill your order, and so we can provide this information to the company or companies who process your credit card payment. 

When you make a purchase of Dark Matter Wine your credit card will be processed by Dark Matter. Please check your credit card statement to verify that the charges have been properly processed. We do not share any other information with third parties, except in the case of contact or order information needed to fulfill your order. We do not share or sell email addresses. 

By placing an order, buyer authorizes seller to act on buyer’s behalf in arranging for transportation of the wine at buyer’s direction. Alternatively, buyer may choose to pick up the wine at seller’s location, or make independent shipping arrangements.  For wine picked up at the seller’s location, sales tax will be applied based on that location.

Return – Despite our best efforts to safely ship your wine, issues can arise from time to time. In an effort to avoid temperature damage during shipping, we will place your wines on weather hold until temperatures are reasonable enough to ship. Should you receive a bottle of our wine that is damaged or flawed, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at 707-548-9651 within 15 days of delivery.

Please note that we will happily replace any wines purchased directly from the winery, given that they are still available; however, we cannot replace wines purchased from other third party wine retailers or restaurants. In rare instances, we reserve the right to deny a return request to customers who we suspect are attempting to abuse the policy.

My Account – When you create an account, we ask for your name, address, phone number, email address, and a user name and password. We use this information to fulfill your orders and to enable time-saving features like express checkout, wish lists, and saved baskets. We do not share or sell this information. 

Newsletter – We ask you to provide a name, email address and profile information. We use this information only to fulfill your request and, in the case of profile information, to help make sure we’re sending you the type of email updates you want to receive. We do not share or sell email addresses. 

Information We Don’t Collect – When you visit and browse our site, we do not collect your name, email address or any other personal information unless you provide it to us. 

How We Use Email – After you place an order on our site, you will receive an email confirmation and, in most cases, an email with package tracking information. 

We send our Newsletter, our email update on new releases, products and wine information, to subscribers only. Unsubscribe instructions are included in each edition of the email. We do not sell or share email addresses with other companies. We do use email as a means of receiving feedback from our customers, and we encourage you to email us with your questions or comments. We read every email we receive. 

Links to Other Sites – Occasionally we provide links to other sites we think you will enjoy. These sites operate independently of us and have established their own privacy and security policies. For the best online experience, we strongly encourage you to review these policies at any site you visit.

Updates To Our Information Practices– We’re always looking for ways to improve our site’s features and services and to improve the way we communicate our information practices. As a result, this statement is updated from time to time. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. We will never change our policies with regard to releasing information to third parties without first notifying all customers and providing them with the opportunity to “opt-in” for correspondence from other companies.
