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.
To help us achieve our goal of providing the highest quality products and services, we use information from our interactions with you and other customers, as well as from other parties. Because we respect your privacy, we have procedures to ensure that your personal information is handled in a safe, secure, and responsible manner.
We have posted this privacy policy to let you know what kind of information we collect, how it is handled, with whom it may be shared, what choices you have regarding our use of your information, and how you may access some of the information you provide to us.
As we continue to develop our Web site and take advantage of advances in technology, our privacy policy may change. Please refer to this page frequently for the most up-to-date information.

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.
