1. The short version
We do not run analytics, advertising pixels, or session recording on this site. We set one cookie, to remember that you confirmed your age. If you fill in the contact form we receive what you typed. That is all.
This notice explains it properly. It covers tuskave.com, published by Hogshead Single Barrels LLC.
2. What we collect
When you confirm your age
The age gate asks for your date of birth. It is used once, in your browser,
to work out whether you are 21 or over. It is never sent to
us and never stored. All that is kept is a single cookie named
tuskave_age, holding the value "1" for 30 days,
so you are not asked again on every page.
That cookie is strictly necessary for a legal age restriction, which is why this site has no cookie banner: there is nothing optional to consent to. To remove it, clear cookies for this site in your browser.
When you contact us
The contact form collects your name, email address, the type of enquiry and your message. We use them to answer you and to keep a record of the conversation. If you ask about a cask, we keep enough of that exchange to handle the allocation properly.
We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or add you to a marketing list because you asked us a question. We may disclose information where the law requires it, or to establish or defend a legal claim.
When you use the bottle customizer
The image you upload to preview a label is read and drawn entirely inside your own browser. It is never transmitted to us or to anyone else, and it disappears when you close the page. If you later send us artwork by email to have it produced, that email is handled like any other enquiry.
Automatically, by our host
Like any website, ours records ordinary server request logs — IP address, time, page requested, browser type — which our host keeps for security and reliability.
3. Why we are allowed to
Where the UK or EU GDPR applies to you: we rely on our legitimate interests in running a secure website and replying to people who contact us; on legal obligation for the age restriction; and on your consent where you have given it, which you can withdraw at any time.
4. How long we keep it
- The age cookie: 30 days, in your browser only.
- Contact enquiries: as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any relationship that follows, then deleted.
- Server logs: the short retention period our host applies.
5. Your rights
Wherever you are, you can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. If you are in the UK or EU you also have the right to object, to restrict processing, to data portability, and to complain to your data protection authority.
If you are a resident of Texas, California, or another US state with a privacy statute, you may have rights to access, correct, delete and obtain a copy of your personal data, and to opt out of its sale or of targeted advertising. We do not sell personal data and we do not use it for targeted advertising or profiling.
To exercise anything above, email info@tuskave.com. We will not charge you or treat you differently for asking, and we will respond within the time the applicable law allows. We may need to confirm your identity first.
6. Children
This site is not directed at anyone under 21 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a minor has sent us information, tell us and we will delete it.
7. International transfers
We operate from Mexico and the United States and our service providers are largely US-based, so your information may be processed in the United States. Where we transfer personal data out of the UK or EU we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses.
8. Changes and contact
If this notice changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. Questions, or anything you would like us to do with your data: info@tuskave.com.
