Curate Coffee Roasters

This Privacy Policy explains how Curate Coffee Roasters (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website or make a purchase from us.

SECTION 1 – COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information necessary to complete your transaction, including your name, billing and shipping address, payment details, email address, and contact number.

When you browse our website, certain information is automatically collected, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, and operating system. This information helps us understand how visitors interact with our site and allows us to improve your browsing experience.

Email Marketing (if applicable):
With your consent, we may send you emails about Curate Coffee Roasters, including updates, new product releases, promotions, and other relevant information. You may unsubscribe from these communications at any time.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

How is consent obtained?
By providing your personal information to complete a transaction, verify payment, place an order, arrange delivery, or process a return, you consent to our collection and use of that information for the specified purpose only.

If we request your personal information for secondary purposes, such as marketing, we will seek your explicit consent or provide you with the option to decline.

Withdrawing consent:
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at curatecoffeeroasters@gmail.com.

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if you breach our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY PLATFORM

Our online store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform enabling us to sell our products and services.

Your information is stored through Shopify’s secure data storage systems and databases and is protected behind a firewall.

Payment processing:
If you choose a direct payment gateway, Shopify securely stores your payment details in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Transaction data is retained only for as long as necessary to complete the purchase and is then deleted.

All payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, supported by major card brands including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party service providers engaged by Curate Coffee Roasters will collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide.

These providers may have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them to understand how your information is managed.

Some third-party providers may operate in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, and your information may therefore be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

We take reasonable measures and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Payment information is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, we comply fully with PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional safeguards where appropriate.

SECTION 7 – COOKIES

Our website uses cookies to enhance functionality and improve your browsing experience. Cookies allow us to understand user behaviour and support features such as login sessions and shopping cart functionality.

Common cookies include:

• Session and authentication cookies

• Shopping cart and checkout cookies

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, this may affect certain features of the website.

SECTION 8 – AGE OF CONSENT

By using this website, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction, or that you have obtained consent from a parent or legal guardian for any minor dependents using this site.

SECTION 9 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will take effect immediately upon being published on the website.

If material changes are made, we will update this page accordingly. In the event that Curate Coffee Roasters is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new entity to ensure continuity of service.
