Microbrewery Data Protection Policy Generator

Proof of age at the taproom door. A beer club subscription with monthly deliveries. Brewery tour sign-ups collecting attendee details and alcohol consumption preferences. Ironbridge Brewing Co. generates data flows that sit at the intersection of hospitality, retail, and alcohol licensing, each carrying distinct data protection requirements. This policy governs how Ironbridge handles personal data across all of them.

Taproom bar staff processing transactions and checking proof of age, brewers whose employment records include specialist qualification data, sales representatives managing wholesale account databases, online shop administrators handling shipping addresses and payment details, and event coordinators collecting attendee information for beer festivals and tasting sessions are all covered.

Taproom customers generate payment records, age verification data, and CCTV footage. Online shop customers maintain account profiles, order histories, delivery addresses, and payment information. Beer club members provide personal details, taste preferences, and recurring billing data. Wholesale and distribution partners furnish business contacts, licensing documentation, and credit terms. Suppliers of hops, malt, yeast, and packaging share contact and banking details. Employees have payroll records, personal licence holder data, brewery qualification certificates, and health and safety training records on file.

Ironbridge Brewing Co. operates under data protection legislation alongside alcohol licensing legislation. The intersection is particularly relevant for age verification record-keeping, personal licence holder data storage, and CCTV requirements imposed by licensing conditions. Where the brewery ships to customers in other jurisdictions through its online shop, it applies the data protection requirements applicable to those individuals.

Ironbridge is the data controller. E-commerce platforms, payment gateways, shipping carriers, email marketing services, and brewery management software providers operate under documented data processing agreements. Agreements with age verification service providers include specific clauses on the handling and deletion of identity document data.

A Record of Processing Activities covers data flows from grain-to-glass, including supplier relationships, production staff records, taproom transactions, and distribution chain contacts. Impact assessments precede technologies such as digital age verification kiosks, taproom footfall analytics, beer recommendation algorithms based on purchase history, or interactive brewery tour apps. Staff training addresses secure handling of age verification documents, responsible management of customer alcohol consumption data, and privacy considerations when photographing taproom events for social media.
