Privacy Policy
At Hop Burns & Black, we are 100% committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of you, our customer. To ensure you know exactly how we look after your data, we’ve created this Privacy Policy to let you know in clear and simple terms when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to other parties and how we keep it secure.
Access to your personal information
You are entitled to view, amend or delete entirely the personal information that we hold (please note that deleting your information will also delete any remaining Beer Miles points you may hold). Please email your request to info@hopburnsblack.co.uk or talk to us in store, and we will action ASAP.
Guest WiFI
If you use our HBBGuest WiFi, data may be collected about your device and the volume of data you use. Don’t worry, we can’t see what you’re browsing (but please don’t download any bad stuff).
Mailing lists and Rewards
As part of the sign-up process for our loyalty programme Beer Miles and our weekly newsletter, we securely store some of your details. We use that information for a few reasons: to let you know about your loyalty rewards; to tell you about things you’ve asked us to tell you about if you've opted in to receive our newsletter; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; and to check in occasionally to make sure you’re happy and satisfied. Importantly, we never ever sell, rent or trade email lists with any other companies for marketing purposes, so you can take that off your worry list.
MAILING LIST: We use third-party providers to deliver our weekly newsletter. If you receive this mailout, it’s because you've either opted in to receive it via our Beer Miles programme in store, signed up to receive our newsletter on our website, or ticked the "yes I want to receive marketing" box when making a purchase on our online shop. We don't do any sneaky data harvesting via any other method, and we never have. You can unsubscribe to this mailing list or update your information at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any of our brewsletters, or by emailing us at info@hopburnsblack.co.uk.
REWARDS: We use third-party providers Vend and Marsello to manage our rewards programme and sign-up. We have audited each of these companies to ensure they have strong data protection policies which are in line with GDPR regulations. We’re happy to share specifics of these programmes and you can view, amend or delete your data at any time by emailing us at info@hopburnsblack.co.uk. For more information, please see their privacy policies:

Ticketing data
When you purchase a ticket for our tasting events online, your name, email and contact number is stored in the ticketing system we use, Eventbrite, in line with GDPR regulations (see the Eventbrite privacy policy here). You may, of course, purchase a ticket (or tickets) in person without supplying the aforementioned personal data.
