We may disclose your personal information to regulatory authorities to comply with a law or legal request, to address security, fraud or technical matters or to protect ours and your rights or interests.
It is very important to us that we provide you with the highest level of service. In order to help us do this, from time to time R&B Distillers Limited may send you details of our products and services that we think may be of interest to you. We will do this if either you have ‘opted in’ to receiving information from us or you have opted to join the Slàinte Club, which requires us to send you this information.
