We may share this personal information with third parties/companies whose services or support we utilize, including hosting, printers, marketing services, or otherwise. These companies are not authorized to use any information shared with them for any other purpose. Remember that certain providers may be in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

How do we protect your information?

We have taken various measures to ensure your information’s safety. If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. 

 

All your personal data provided at time of order or otherwise is securely stored.

 

As with anything on the internet, no security is guaranteed permanently secured despite these efforts, and by providing your information, you are doing so at your own risk.

We will change, update, or correct your personal information upon your request. You can opt-out of marketing materials through a link at the bottom of emails, or by sending STOP in response to any of our SMS text messages. If you have any issues, you can reach out to info@bigspoonroasters.com

 

How do you distribute information collected offline?

While most information we collect is through our online shop and site, some is collected in-person, offline, or over the phone. We will only ask for personal information required for any transactions, and any credit card information will be processed securely.

 

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it. If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.
