The mini-competition for user interaction is a simple and engaging activity designed to encourage interaction and participation of users/consumers.

The mini competitions featured on the landing page are designed under the requests of The wine producers. These competitions offer an engaging opportunity for participants to contribute and interact with the brand in a unique way. It’s important to note the following guidelines regarding these competitions:

    • Competition Design: The ideas for the mini competitions are initiated and managed by The wine producers. They craft the concept and theme of each competition to align with their brand identity and objectives.

7. INTERACTING WITH WINE DEGUSTATION PAGES

The wine degustation experience, facilitated through the NFC-enabled user interface, offers users an opportunity to engage in wine tasting and feedback sharing.

The wine degustation experience is very similar to the traditional wine degustation, except that it is connected with NFC (for easy access) and digital so that data is stored easily, allowing for a seamless and enhanced user experience.

By tapping their NFC-enabled device on the designated bottle tag, users are directed to a digital platform where they can explore various aspects of the wine and interact with the brand.

The primary objective of this degustation experience is to enhance users’ understanding and appreciation of the product while also collecting valuable feedback for the wine producer’s improvement efforts.

Participation in the connected wine degustation experiences is voluntary. Users’ personally identifiable information (PII), such as email addresses, can’t be disclosed by the system unless users decide to provide their email addresses with their full consent for further engagement. Sharing email addresses allows the wine producer to contact users for meaningful marketing purposes related to the product. This arrangement is designed to foster a relationship of trust and transparency between users and the wine producer. Users retain full control over the disclosure of their PII, ensuring that their engagement with the degustation experience is both enjoyable and secure.

8. DATA COLLECTION AND PRIVACY

In our mini competitions and wine degustations, we also gather user preferences and evaluations in addition to data such as email addresses, names, surnames, geolocation, and other pertinent information as per competition or event requirements. By participating, consumers consent to sharing this data with the associated wine producer for competition-related purposes. We prioritize data privacy and security, complying with regulations and implementing measures to prevent unauthorized access.
