Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 22, 2026

WHO WE ARE 1889 Brewing Company operates this website to share information about our taproom, beers, food trucks, events, and other brewery activities in Billings, Montana. For privacy questions or requests, use the contact information on our Visit page or the privacy contact address displayed below, if provided.

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE If you complete a website form, we collect the information entered in that form and store the submission so our team can respond or administer the request. Form submissions may also be delivered to designated brewery personnel by email. If newsletter registration is enabled and you subscribe, we collect your email address, subscription preferences, confirmation status, and records needed to manage delivery, unsubscribe requests, and abuse prevention. Newsletter registration and automatic newsletter delivery may be disabled even when related pages appear on the site.

SITE ANALYTICS If you choose to allow optional analytics and confirm you are 21 or older, this website may record page visits and certain link clicks, including the page path, referring page, clicked link URL, and a random browser session identifier. These events are stored in our website database. Choosing Reject Optional prevents the website's built-in browser analytics tracker from sending these events. Server and hosting infrastructure may still process necessary connection and security information, independently of optional analytics.

AGE CONFIRMATION AND PRIVACY CHOICES Our 21+ entry prompt stores an expiration time in your browser for approximately 30 days. It is a self-declaration, not identity or legal age verification; it does not collect your date of birth. Your browser also stores your optional analytics/marketing preferences. You can change privacy choices using the footer's Privacy & Cookie Settings link. Enabling a marketing category does not by itself mean advertising trackers have been installed.

OTHER ACTIVITIES If you vote in a poll or interact with other website features, the site may store your selections and limited technical information needed for that feature, including safeguards against repeat or abusive submissions. Please avoid entering sensitive personal information into public or general-purpose forms.

WHY WE USE INFORMATION We use submitted information to respond to inquiries, operate requested services, send messages you've chosen to receive, maintain website security, prevent misuse, and understand site usage when analytics consent is given.

SERVICE PROVIDERS AND DISCLOSURES Website hosting and deployment, the self-hosted website database, and configured email services may process information to run the site and deliver messages. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the site and its users. This policy does not claim that information is never shared with service providers. We do not describe our visitors' personal data as being sold for advertising; if our actual practices change, this policy and corresponding controls must be updated before the change.

RETENTION AND SECURITY Information is retained as needed for the purposes described above, operational records, legal obligations, or legitimate security needs. Retention varies by record type; this website does not currently promise a universal automatic-deletion deadline. No online system can guarantee absolute security.

YOUR REQUESTS AND CHOICES You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using available unsubscribe controls and change optional tracking preferences at any time. You may contact us to ask about access, correction, or deletion of information associated with you; we will respond consistent with applicable law and our ability to verify the request. Additional state privacy rights may apply depending on your residence and the law's coverage requirements.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY We may update this notice to reflect actual website operations, service providers, or legal requirements. The effective date above should be updated when material changes are published.
