How do we collect data from you ?

We collect information from you when you have chosen to register with us after visiting our website, when you buy from us, or when you contact us directly for example to let us know that you have changed your address or have changed your email address or telephone number(s), or if you register with us to receive our monthly email newsletter or postal offers which we send two or three times a year.

What type of information is collected from you ?

The type of information we collect from you might include, your name, address, email address, any special delivery instructions and where a parcel can be left if you are out when it is delivered, what you have ordered from us and when. We also ask for your telephone number which enables us to contact you urgently if there is a problem with your order. For some deliveries this number may be given to our couriers. If you have bought a gift from us that is delivered direct to the recipient we will collect their name and address and any gift message that you would like us to include. When you purchase from us, your card information is not held by us, it is collected by our third party payment processors who specialise in secure online capture and processing credit/debit transactions as explained below.

• Process orders that you have made
• Confirm an order with you
• Update you on the status of your order
• Update you on the delivery of your order
• Send you communications about new coffees or related products or offers
• Communicate last order dates in time for Christmas

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are required to hold some types of information to fulfil our obligations (Accountancy and Company obligations to HM Revenue and Customs) and we will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as necessary for the relevant activity.

Who has access to your information ?

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf:

We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process payment, fulfil delivery, send you our mailings, ). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. We may also provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors and affiliates. These statistics will include no personally identifying information.

When you are using our secure online payment pages, your payment is processed by a third party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any sensitive information that you input (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with an SSL certificate. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Profiling

We do not analyse your personal information for any purposes whatsoever other than to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk or to verify your postcode for accurate and timely delivery.
