Deaf Shark CoffeeHow we handle information you provide when you use our website and services.
This Privacy Policy explains how Deaf Shark Coffee collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit this website, create an account, contact us, join our mailing list, apply for a job, or follow a link to place an online order. It applies to information handled through this website. A third-party ordering service may apply its own privacy policy when you use its website or checkout.
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect:
Online ordering and payment are completed through a third-party ordering service. This website does not receive or store your full payment card number. The ordering service may provide us with limited transaction details needed to prepare, fulfill, support, or reconcile an order.
We may use information to:
We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technology that are necessary for sign-in, security, preferences, cart or session functions, and basic site operation. If we later use optional analytics or advertising technology, we will provide any notice or choices required by applicable law. You can control cookies through your browser, although disabling necessary storage may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information with vendors that help us provide services, such as website hosting, databases, security and bot prevention, authentication, file storage, email delivery, communications, analytics if enabled, and online ordering and payment. These providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
We may also share information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect customers or the business, investigate fraud or abuse, enforce agreements, or complete a merger, financing, sale, or transfer of business assets. We do not share employment applications with unrelated parties for their own marketing purposes.
If you join our mailing list, we may send news, promotions, and shop updates. You can unsubscribe through the link in a marketing email or contact us. We may still send non-promotional messages that are necessary for an account, request, or order.
We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including customer service, security, legal, tax, accounting, employment, and dispute-resolution needs. Retention can vary by record type. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it. Information retained in backups may remain until those backups are overwritten in the ordinary course.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information. No website, network, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed without authorization. Keep your password confidential and contact us if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information associated with you, or close an account, by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where permitted or required for legal, security, accounting, or legitimate operational reasons. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional rights and an appeal process.
For information submitted directly to an online ordering or payment provider, contact that provider as well because it independently controls information in its systems.
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided such information, please contact us so we can review and address the request.
We may update this policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or another appropriate method.
For privacy questions or requests, use our contact page, call (908) 481-8884, email help@deafsharkcoffee.com, or write to Deaf Shark Coffee, 900 Green Lane, Union, NJ 07083.
