1. Introduction

Coffee and Peppers, LLC (“The Barista Bench,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what
information we collect when you visit or make a purchase on thebaristabench.store (the “Site”), how we use and protect
it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically:

Information you give us

• Order & account information — name, billing and shipping address, email address, and phone number.
• Payment information — processed securely by our payment gateway (see Section 4). We do not store full card numbers.
• Communications — the content of emails, calls, and messages you send us.

Information collected automatically

• Device & usage data — IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and referring URLs.
• Cookies & similar technologies — see Section 5.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process, fulfill, and deliver your orders and send order confirmations and shipping updates;
• Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, and abuse;
• Comply with our legal, tax, and accounting obligations;
• Improve the Site, our products, and your shopping experience;
• With your consent, send occasional emails about new products and offers (you can opt out at any time).

4. Payment information

Payments are processed by a PCI-DSS–compliant third-party payment gateway. Your
card details are transmitted directly to the gateway over an encrypted connection. Coffee and Peppers, LLC does not
receive or store your full card number, expiration date, or security code. See our
Payment & Security page for more.

5. Cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep items in your cart, remember your preferences, secure
the checkout, understand how the Site is used, and improve performance. You can control or disable cookies
in your browser settings; note that disabling essential cookies may prevent checkout from working. We do
not sell your personal information.

6. How we share information

We share personal information only as needed to run our business, and never sell it. Categories of
recipients include:

• Service providers — payment gateway, shipping carriers, fulfillment and warehousing partners, email and hosting providers — who process data only on our instructions;
• Legal & safety — where required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, customers, or the public;
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

7. Data security

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information,
including TLS/SSL encryption in transit and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100%
secure, but we work continually to protect your data and to limit collection to what we need.

8. Data retention

We retain order and transaction records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in
this Policy and to meet legal, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution requirements. When information is no
longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

9. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of
your personal information, and to opt out of marketing emails or the “sale” or “sharing” of personal
information (we do not sell personal information). To exercise any right, email
support@thebaristabench.store. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required
by applicable law. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any such email.

10. Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under
13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent
version. Material changes will be posted on this page; your continued use of the Site after changes take
effect constitutes acceptance.
