3. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, measure performance, improve the shopping experience, personalize content, and support advertising.

These technologies may be used by us or by third-party providers, including Shopify, Google, Meta, email marketing platforms, analytics providers, review platforms, and advertising partners.

Cookies and similar technologies may help us:

  • Keep items in your cart
  • Remember preferences
  • Understand how visitors use the Site

  • Retarget visitors with relevant ads
  • Attribute purchases to marketing campaigns
  • Prevent fraud and secure the Site

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some browser settings may block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect site functionality, cart behavior, checkout, or personalization.

If we offer a cookie banner, privacy preference center, or data sharing opt-out page, you may use those tools to manage eligible privacy choices.

4. Email and SMS Marketing

If you provide your email address or phone number and opt in where required, we may send you marketing communications, including promotions, product updates, abandoned cart reminders, review requests, subscription reminders, and other messages.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email.

You can opt out of SMS messages by following the instructions in the message, such as replying STOP, where applicable.

Consent to marketing is not required to make a purchase. We may still send transactional or service-related messages, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, account notices, subscription notices, and responses to customer service inquiries.

Message and data rates may apply for SMS communications.

5. How We Disclose Information

We do not sell personal information for money.

However, we may disclose personal information to service providers, vendors, platforms, and partners that help us operate our business. This may include:

  • Shopify and ecommerce platform providers
  • Payment processors
  • Shipping carriers and fulfillment providers
  • Email and SMS marketing providers
  • Subscription management providers
  • Review and testimonial platforms
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising platforms
  • Fraud prevention and security providers
  • Customer service tools
  • IT and hosting providers
  • Professional advisors, including attorneys, accountants, and insurers
  • Government authorities, regulators, courts, or law enforcement where required or permitted by law

We may also disclose information in connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or transfer of all or part of our business.

Some privacy laws define certain advertising, analytics, or cross-context behavioral advertising activities as “selling,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising,” even when no money is exchanged. If applicable, you may have the right to opt out of those activities.

California’s CCPA, for example, requires certain businesses that sell or share personal information to provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, and the notice at collection must describe categories collected and purposes of use.

6. Shopify and Third-Party Services

Our store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify provides the ecommerce platform that allows us to sell products and services to you.

Your information may be processed by Shopify and other third-party services used to operate our store, process payments, manage checkout, prevent fraud, fulfill orders, provide customer support, send communications, display reviews, run subscriptions, or measure advertising.

Your use of third-party services may also be governed by those providers’ privacy policies and terms.

Shopify provides store-policy tools and automated privacy settings that can help merchants align privacy policies, cookie banners, and data-sharing opt-out pages with store settings. You should still review this Privacy Policy against the actual apps and Shopify settings active in your store.

7. Customer Reviews, Social Media, and User Content

If you submit a review, testimonial, photo, video, comment, social media post, or other content to us or tag us publicly, we may collect and use your name, username, review content, rating, image, video, and related information.

We may display reviews, testimonials, or user-generated content on the Site, in emails, on social media, in advertising, or in other marketing materials, subject to our Terms of Service and applicable law.

Do not submit content that you do not want made public.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to process orders, maintain business records, comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, and operate our business.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for collection, legal requirements, and business needs.

9. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no website, system, transmission, storage method, or electronic service is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

You are responsible for keeping your account login credentials confidential and for notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.

10. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain privacy rights, including the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we have about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of personal information
  • Request a copy of your personal information
  • Opt out of marketing communications
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities where applicable
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Appeal a privacy-rights decision where required by law

To submit a privacy request, contact us at:

info@republicancoffee.com

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We may deny or limit requests where permitted by law, including when information is needed to complete a transaction, comply with legal obligations, detect fraud, protect security, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.

If you ask us to delete or stop using certain information, we may not be able to complete orders, provide services, maintain your account, or continue certain benefits.

11. State Privacy Rights

Certain U.S. state privacy laws may give residents additional rights. These laws may apply depending on where you live and whether our business meets applicable legal thresholds.

For example, California privacy law requires covered businesses to provide disclosures about categories of personal information collected, purposes of use, consumer rights, and how to exercise those rights. Florida also enacted the Digital Bill of Rights, which provides consumer rights such as access, correction, deletion, and data portability for covered businesses.

If we are required by applicable law to honor additional state privacy rights, we will do so. You may submit a request by contacting info@republicancoffee.com.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at info@republicancoffee.com, and we will take appropriate steps to delete such information.

COPPA applies to operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13, and to operators that have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information from children under 13.

13. International Visitors

Our business is operated in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be collected, processed, stored, and transferred in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws where you live.

14. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, we may not respond to them.

Where required by applicable law, we may recognize legally required opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, if supported by our website, Shopify settings, or third-party tools.

15. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, social media pages, apps, or services that we do not control.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third parties. Review their privacy policies before providing information to them.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, services, legal requirements, or business operations.

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
