History & Coffee Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website, www.historyandcoffee.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website, services, and third-party providers. By using our website, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
When you visit our website, create an account, make a purchase, or engage with our services, we collect various types of personal information to enhance your experience. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and any payment information necessary to process transactions. Payment details are securely handled by Shopify, and we do not store or have direct access to your full payment information.
Additionally, we collect data through tracking technologies such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, which help us understand website traffic, customer behavior, and marketing effectiveness. These tools provide us with anonymized data, including IP addresses, browser type, device information, and browsing activity on our website.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect to provide and improve our services, facilitate transactions, manage user accounts, and enhance customer interactions. Your information allows us to process orders, respond to inquiries, and provide personalized recommendations. Furthermore, we use collected data to analyze website performance, optimize our marketing efforts, and ensure a seamless user experience.
Marketing and promotional activities may include sending newsletters, special offers, and personalized recommendations based on purchase history and website activity. If you prefer not to receive marketing communications, you can opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in our emails or by contacting us directly.
3. Sharing of Information with Third Parties
To provide essential services, we share certain personal information with trusted third-party service providers. Shopify processes payments and facilitates secure transactions, while Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel help us measure and improve website performance and marketing campaigns. We also use Alpine IQ as our customer database and email marketing service to enhance customer engagement. These third-party providers are contractually obligated to protect your personal information in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside parties. However, we may disclose your information if required by law, to enforce our site policies, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
4. User Rights and Data Control
As a user of our website, you have the right to access and update your personal information. You can modify your profile details by logging into your account. However, at this time, users do not have the ability to delete their accounts or remove their data from our system. If you have concerns about your personal data, please contact us at info@historyandcoffee.com, and we will review your request in compliance with applicable laws.
5. Data Security and Protection
While we take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, we rely on the security protocols of our third-party service providers, including Shopify’s encryption and fraud protection measures. We do not implement additional independent security measures beyond those provided by our payment processors and data service providers. As the internet is not a completely secure environment, we encourage users to exercise caution when sharing sensitive information online.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our website contains both general access content and age-restricted sections. While the general areas of our site are accessible to all visitors, age-restricted sections require verification. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to remove such data from our records. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
7. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations in Baltimore, Maryland. If you are accessing our website from a jurisdiction with different data protection laws, please be aware that your information will be transferred and processed in accordance with local regulations.
