Privacy Policy
Welcome to the Canadian Club® Internet site ("Site"), of Jim Beam Brands Co. ("JBBCo"). Jim Beam and JBBCo want you to know what information we learn about you when you visit this Site, what we do with that information and any other information you voluntarily provide us through this Site or by other means and how you can view or change the information we have.
There are two types of information that we can learn about you as you browse and use this site. Each type of information can be used in a different way, and only you decide how much information to share with us.
1. Internet-related - generic statistical and demographic information.
2. Personal information that you provide when registering, ordering online, or making contact with us.
1. Internet-related information
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to gather broad demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity on our Site. We collect information from visitors to our Site regarding the referring URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come to the Site, the country, state, the pages of our Site that you viewed during your visit and any search terms entered on our Site. We track customers' traffic patterns throughout their online sessions, including which pages a customer views while using the Site. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers and software and to administer our Site. We may share aggregated statistics about pages viewed on our Site and sales and other shopping information with third parties.
2. Personal Information
If you provide information about yourself by registering on a page, by filling out a survey, or otherwise by voluntarily telling us about yourself or your activities, we will collect that personal information for JBBCo's own internal use. See below for more detail on what happens to your personal information when you place an order at our online store. Except as may be necessary to fulfill your order, only designated and authorized JBBCo sales and marketing employees will use the information you and other visitors give us in connection with their duties and for the purposes of identifying consumer preferences, improving our products and services and the content of this Site. When you give us your first and last name, birthdate, email, day and evening telephone numbers, or postal address, we may contact you by email, regular mail, or telephone from time to time with information about our new products and services, special offers, upcoming events and changes to this Site. If you do not wish to be contacted by all or any of these methods, you may let us know by sending an email message to us at info@jimbeam.com. Please be sure to give us your exact name and address so we can be sure that we remove your name from our lists.
How to Change Your Personal Information
Once you have registered and logged in to the Site, you can access and change your personal information. To do this, select the My Profile tab located in the upper right portion of the screen. If you have accessed the site via another country other than the United States, select the Manage Profile option in the main navigation section located in the upper left portion of the screen. You can change part or all of your information. Once you have made the appropriate changes re-enter your password, or select a new password, in the designated fields and click Submit. Your profile will be updated immediately.
Ordering Through the Online Store
Placing an order at the Jim Beam Online Store is fast, easy and secure. We are committed to protecting your privacy and the security of your personal information. The personal information you submit with an order is treated as confidential information and it will not be distributed, traded, sold, or rented to anyone. We employ other companies to perform certain functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders and delivering packages, and these companies have access to your information. We have arranged with VeriSign to process your credit card information. They use SSL encryption of your credit card information. You may access the VeriSign site and privacy policy to read more about the security measures they employ. When you order from the Online Store, we will collect personally identifiable information from you. If you order one of our products or services, the Online Store will collect and maintain your name, email address, billing and shipping address, telephone number, date of birth, product selections, order number, and order information. Before confirming your order you will have the opportunity to review the product order form and make changes and additions to the information it contains. The information you submit will only be used to process your order and to provide a more effective and personalized shopping experience.
Sharing Information
If you provide us with your consent, we may share your personal information with our affiliates and business partners with whom we have joint marketing arrangements. We are not in the business of selling information about our customers except in the limited circumstance set out below. We engage other companies to perform certain functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages and services related to the design, maintenance and improvement of this Site and our database. These companies have access to your personal information. Otherwise we may share your information only to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, police investigations, or in legal proceedings where such information is relevant. If you do not want us to share any of your personal information with our affiliates and business partners, then please let us know by contacting us at info@jimbeam.com. Jim Beam and JBBCo may assign, sell, license, or otherwise transfer to a third party under conditions requiring the confidential treatment of such information, your name, address, email address, member name and any other personal information in connection with an assignment, sale, joint venture, or other transfer or disposition of a portion or all of the Jim Beam service, or the assets, business or stock of Jim Beam Brands Co.
Where do we Share Your Personal Information?
Your personal information will be kept in a database held on servers kept in a physically and technologically secure environment, accessed only by authorized personnel or contractors who are bound to keep your information confidential. Although we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of any personal information collected, we will not be liable for disclosure of personal information obtained due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties.
User Name and Password
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your user name and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your membership, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify Jim Beam Brands Co. of any unauthorized use of your user name or password.

We cannot pre-screen these cookies since they come directly to you from other sites.
