This website is owned and operated by Fair Waves Coffee Inc. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content, products and services on this site (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy applies to the Site only. It does not apply to other websites to which we link. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to understand what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how that information is used, and how you can control our disclosure of it. You agree that your use of the Site signifies your assent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.
We collect two types of information from you: i) information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups or emails); and ii) information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms.
In order to create a WavesRewards loyalty program account, you must first complete the registration process, during which we will collect personal information about you. The information will include your name, birthdate, address, phone number, and email address. You will also need to create a password and security question/answer combination to secure your account. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide such information to us on a voluntary basis.
By registering with us, you consent to the use and method of disclosure as described in this Privacy Policy.
We also collect personally identifiable information when you choose to use certain other features of the Site, including: i) adding funds to your WavesRewards card, ii) consenting to receive email or text messages about upcoming promotions or events, and iii) consenting to receive email. When you choose to use these additional features, we require you to provide your contact information in addition to other personal information that may be required to complete a transaction such as your phone number, billing and shipping addresses and credit card information. Occasionally, we may also request information such as your shopping preferences and demographics which will help us better serve you and our others users in the future.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of our Internet servers or through the use of “cookies”. Cookies are small text files containing a unique identification number that identifies your browser, but not you, to our servers each time you visit our website. Cookies are not pervasive or invasive programs that enter a user’s system and damage files. They simply tell us which pages of our website are visited and by how many visitors. Cookies cannot, by themselves, disclose the individual identity of any site user, and we never combine information gathered by a cookie with personally identifiable information like your name, telephone number or email address, without your consent.
You should be aware that Wavescoffee.com cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for Wavescoffee.com. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that you must have cookies enabled in your browser if you wish to make a purchase on the Wavescoffee.com website, or to create or log into your account.
