Privacy statement and practices of Café De Apante
Café De Apante has created this privacy policy to inform you of the information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site.
If you feel that Café De Apante is not abiding by its posted privacy policy, please contact us.
Information Collection and Use
Café De Apante is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Café De Apante collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Membership
When you make a purchase on our site, you automatically become a member and provide us with personal information such as your name, email address, mailing and shipping address and credit card information. This information is secure and never shared with anyone outside of our billing department. Your email address is your member identification. You choose your own password to access your account. All members can choose whether or not they would like to receive electronic mailings from Café De Apante.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form when making a purchase. Here, is where a user must provide their contact information, like name and shipping address, and shipping information, credit card number and expiration date. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill the customer's order. This contact information is used to get in touch with the customer if needed.
Usage Tracking
Café De Apante's database tracks the traffic throughout our site. This information is used to compile overall statistics and is not recorded at an individual level. This includes IP (internet protocol) addresses, browser type, ISP (internet service provider), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and #of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate. The statistics help us determine which products and services best serve our members and guests.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by Café De Apante.
Security
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with Secure Socket Layers (SSLs). While on a secure page, such as our order form, the URL of the page will begin with “https:” rather than “http:”
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information (like your credit card information) online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Special Offers
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special offers and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate that user's personally identifiable information provided to us. This can be done by using the unsubscribe feature in our communication.
Choice/Opt-Out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
If, however, we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. However, if you have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated your account, then you will not be contacted, nor will your personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
