Security & Privacy Information

Secure ordering

Your online credit card transactions are secure with Volcanica Coffee. We use Secure Socket Layering (SSL), the industry-standard encryption technology that ensures safe Internet transmission of your personal information. It encrypts data passed between the server and your browser, so that unauthorized parties cannot intercept sensitive, confidential or personal information, such as a phone number or address. Volcanica Coffee employs SSL to protect your billing and shipping information when it's submitted through checkout, which helps to ensure a reliable, secure shopping experience to buy gourmet coffee online. When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you're about to enter a secure area. Yahoo Shopping, one of the most respected names in the internet, is the firm that supplies our e-commerce platform and shopping cart service.

Making a credit card purchase is just as safe on our Web site as it is by telephone. We employ the highest standards of security to protect your information to buy gourmet coffee online.

Cookies and how we use them
A "cookie" is a small data file stored by your Web browser on your computer's hard drive. It allows us to recognize your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database.

We use cookies to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our site and the name of the Web site you visited immediately before clicking to VolcanicaCoffee.com. We use this information to improve our site design, product assortments, customer service, to aid in the transaction to buy gourmet coffee online and special promotions.

We may contract with third parties who may use cookies and collect information on our behalf or provide services such as  shipping, promotional services, credit card processing, or data management. We call them our Customer Care Partners. These third parties are prohibited by our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our other Customer Care Partners. However, we respect your right to choose whether to be included in such services. If you would like to opt out of these services, please contact us via the contact information listed above.

Children's privacy
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act took effect on April 21, 2000. It imposes certain requirements on Web sites directed at children under 13 that collect information on those children, and on Web sites that knowingly collect information on children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 on our Web site, and our online sweepstakes are restricted to entrants who are at least 18 years old.

No one under the age of 15 should submit any personal information to this or any other Web site without the consent of a parent or guardian.

You need to make your own independent decisions regarding your interactions or communications with any other Web site.

If you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that site, not the Volcanica Coffee privacy policy. We encourage you to read that policy before submitting any personal information.
