Privacy Policy

---

This Privacy Policy applies to www.honeyinmybrew.com operated by Honey In My Brew, Kentucky, USA (“we”, “us”, “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Data that we collect from our clients and from our website and other online users (hereinafter “you”), as well as information that we collect automatically during your visits of our website (e.g., information collected via cookies).

We recognize the current lack of consistent and comprehensive Federal and National Privacy legislation and have as such voluntarily adopted the current gold standard deriving from the EU`s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
