Black Coffee Roastery (“Black Coffee Roastery,” “BCR,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit www.blkcoffeeroastery.com (the “Website”), place an order, submit an inquiry, subscribe to our communications, or otherwise interact with us online.
By using the Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect

We generally do not directly receive or store your complete credit-card number, debit-card number, or card security code. Payment providers process that information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Information regarding the performance and operation of the Website.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, tags, local-storage technologies, software-development kits, and similar technologies to operate and improve the Website.
These technologies may be used to:
-
Maintain Website functionality;

Remember user preferences and shopping-cart contents;

Some cookies are necessary for the Website to function. Other cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, may be controlled through your browser settings, a cookie-preference tool offered on the Website, or the settings provided by the applicable third-party service.
Disabling cookies may cause portions of the Website to function incorrectly.
3. Analytics and Advertising Technologies
We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, and advertising or social-media technologies, such as the Meta Pixel or comparable tools.
These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Website and, depending on our Website configuration, your activity across other websites or online services. They may use that information to provide analytics, measure advertising, prevent fraud, personalize content, or display advertisements.
The information collected by these providers is governed by their respective privacy policies and settings. The particular services used on the Website may change as our business and technology needs evolve.
4. Consent to Website Monitoring Technologies
With your consent, we and certain service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, and similar technologies to collect information about how you interact with the Website. Depending on the technology involved, this information may include pages viewed, links selected, approximate location, browser and device information, referring pages, order activity, and other Website interactions.
Nonessential analytics, advertising, session-replay, chat-monitoring, or similar technologies will be activated only as permitted by applicable law and, where required, after you provide consent through our cookie-preference tool.
We do not intend to use tracking technologies to collect complete payment-card information, account passwords, or other information entered into fields designated as sensitive. We require service providers to configure their technologies to mask or exclude sensitive form fields where such functionality is available.
You may accept, reject, or modify your choices regarding nonessential technologies through the cookie banner or the “Cookie Settings” link available on the Website. Withdrawing consent will not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Certain advertising and analytics technologies may transmit online identifiers or Website-activity information to third parties. Depending on the technologies used, applicable law, and the configuration of those technologies, such disclosures may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising under certain privacy laws.
Where legally required and technically available, you may manage nonessential cookies through the Website’s cookie-preference tool or submit a request using the contact information below.
8. Email and Marketing Communications
You may receive marketing emails from us when you subscribe to our mailing list, make a purchase where permitted by law, or otherwise request or consent to receive such communications.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting us at info@blkcoffeeroastery.com.
We may continue to send nonpromotional communications that are necessary to complete transactions, provide requested services, respond to inquiries, or communicate important account, order, security, or policy information.

Provide information about the personal information we maintain about you;

Correct inaccurate personal information;

Certain privacy rights apply only to residents of particular jurisdictions or to businesses that meet statutory thresholds. We will evaluate requests according to the laws applicable to us and the person making the request.
10. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to traditional Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to those signals in all circumstances.
Where legally required and supported by our Website technology, we may recognize legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising associated with that browser or device.
Your browser and device settings may also allow you to block or delete cookies.

Provide requested products and services;

Comply with tax, accounting, legal, insurance, and contractual obligations;
-
Resolve disputes;

Prevent fraud and abuse; and
-
Enforce our agreements.
Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, and applicable legal requirements.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, payment system, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information electronically at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us or our service providers.
13. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.
A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Website may contact us at info@blkcoffeeroastery.com. We will take reasonable steps to review and delete the information when appropriate.
14. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, payment providers, delivery services, or other external services.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, or content practices of those third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected independently by third parties. You should review their privacy policies before providing information to them.
15. California Privacy Notice
California residents may have privacy rights under California law. The particular rights available depend on the law involved and whether Black Coffee Roastery is subject to that law.
California residents may contact us to request information about our privacy practices, ask to review or correct information, request deletion where applicable, or raise concerns regarding information collected through the Website.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against a person for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Nothing in this section represents that Black Coffee Roastery is necessarily subject to every provision of the California Consumer Privacy Act or California Privacy Rights Act. Applicability depends on statutory requirements and business thresholds.
16. Visitors Outside the United States
Black Coffee Roastery is based in California, United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, you understand that information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws of your jurisdiction.
