The mini-competition for user interaction is a simple and engaging activity designed to encourage interaction and participation from users/consumers.
The mini-competitions presented on the homepage are designed according to the requests of the wine producers or other clients of Univerre Pro Uva. These competitions offer participants an engaging opportunity to interact with the brand in a unique way. The following guidelines apply:
- Competition design :Ideas for mini-competitions are initiated and managed by the wine producers or other clients of Univerre Pro Uva. They design the concept and theme of each competition to align with their brand identity and objectives.

7. INTERACTING WITH WINE DEGUSTATION PAGES
The wine tasting experience or other product experience, facilitated by the NFC or QR Code–enabled interface, allows users to participate in wine or product tastings and share their feedback.
This experience is very similar to a traditional wine or product tasting, except that it is digitally connected via NFC (for easy access) or QR Code, enabling easy data storage and providing a smoother and enhanced user experience.
By tapping their NFC-enabled device on the designated bottle label or scanning the QR Code, users are directed to a digital platform where they can explore various aspects of the wine and interact with the brand.
The main objective of this tasting experience is to improve users’ understanding and appreciation of the product, while also collecting valuable feedback to support the improvement efforts of the wine producer or other Univerre Pro Uva SA clients.
Participation in connected tasting experiences is voluntary. Personally identifiable information (PII), such as email addresses, will not be disclosed by the system unless users voluntarily provide them with full consent for further interaction.
Sharing email addresses allows the wine producer or other Univerre Pro Uva SA clients to contact users for relevant marketing purposes related to the product. This arrangement is designed to foster trust and transparency between users and the wine producer or client.
Users retain full control over the disclosure of their personally identifiable information, ensuring that their engagement with the tasting experience remains both enjoyable and secure.
8. DATA COLLECTION AND PRIVACY
During our mini-competitions and wine or product tastings, we may also collect user preferences and ratings, in addition to data such as email addresses, first and last names, geolocation, and other relevant information depending on the requirements of the competition or event. By participating, consumers consent to sharing this data with the wine producer or other Univerre Pro Uva SA client associated with the experience for competition-related purposes. We prioritize data privacy and security, complying with applicable regulations and implementing measures to prevent unauthorized access.
