Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data when you visit fukubrew.com (the “Website”) and when you sign up to our newsletter or contact us. We are committed to handling your data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Italian data protection law.

1. Who we are (Data Controller)

This Website (fukubrew.com) is operated by FUKU Brew, which is the data controller responsible for your personal data. You can contact us about your data at any time using the details in the “Legal information” section at the end of this Policy.

2. What data we collect, and why

• Newsletter sign-up. If you subscribe, we collect your email address. We use it only to send you news and updates about FUKU. Sign-up uses double opt-in (you confirm via email), and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
• Enquiries. If you email us (for example about wholesale), we receive your email address and the content of your message, and use them only to respond to you.
• Technical & security data. Our hosting provider automatically processes standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and access times, in order to deliver, secure and maintain the Website.
• Age & language preferences. We store a small flag in your browser (“local storage”) to remember that you have confirmed you are of legal drinking age and your chosen language. This stays on your device, is not used to track you, and is not shared with anyone.

3. Cookies and tracking

We do not use advertising, marketing or analytics cookies, and we do not track your activity across websites. We use only the functional browser storage described above, which is necessary for the Website to work as you expect. Because of this, no cookie-consent banner is required.

4. Legal bases for processing (GDPR)

• Consent — for sending you our newsletter (you may withdraw consent at any time).
• Legitimate interests — to operate, secure and maintain the Website.
• Taking steps at your request — to respond to enquiries you send us.

5. Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf:

• Brevo — our email/newsletter platform (based in the EU). See Brevo's privacy policy.
• Cloudflare — website hosting, content delivery and security. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Purchases of FUKU products are made on Amazon, which is a separate service governed by Amazon's own privacy policy. We do not receive your payment details.

6. International transfers

Some of our providers may process data outside Italy. Where they do, they rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under the GDPR (such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your data.

7. How long we keep your data

We keep newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data. We keep enquiry emails only for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access your data; to have it corrected or erased; to restrict or object to its processing; to data portability; and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the end of this Policy.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.

9. Children

The Website concerns alcohol and is intended only for visitors who are of legal drinking age. It is not directed at, and we do not knowingly collect data from, anyone below that age.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.

11. Contact
