We will collect additional information in connection with your participation in The Glenmorangie Cask Masters programme offered by us and information you provide when giving us feedback. Mandatory information to be provided is identified as such by an asterisk. We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site use which enables us to improve the service we provide. So that we can monitor the popularity of our websites, understand what pages visitors are looking at and how often visitors come to our site, and identify the source of new business, we collect data in web access lots and via cookies. This data is entirely anonymous and doesn't identify individual users. This means that there is no reasonable way for us to identify the individual person this data was collected from.

MacDonald & Muir Ltd may transfer data outside the E.E.A. (European Economic Area) and all steps will be taken to ensure the protection of data in such an instance.

Any personal data collected by The MacDonald & Muir Ltd from you for the use of the purposes listed in the Privacy Policy is governed by Scottish law, specifically the provisions of the Data Protect Act 1998.

Please note MacDonald & Muir Ltd will never pass your personal data to anyone else, except:

• when you have given your prior consent to such communication to a third party,
• for any successors in title to our business,
• suppliers that process data on our behalf both in the UK and abroad, and,
• when we are required by a judicial authority or any other administrative authority to provide it with such information

We may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individual customers are identified) for marketing and strategic development.
