PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is very important to us. At Fresh Cup Inc.—known as Fresh Cup Magazine and Fresh Cup—we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.

• We don’t share your personal information with anyone unless you explicitly agree for that to happen, like in the case of opting in to be contacted by a supplier.

Fresh Cup operates one website, freshcup.com. It is Fresh Cup’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

WEBSITE VISITORS

Like most website operators, Fresh Cup collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Fresh Cup’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Fresh Cup’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Fresh Cup may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Fresh Cup also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Fresh Cup only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Fresh Cup’s website choose to interact with Fresh Cup in ways that require Fresh Cup to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Fresh Cup gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Fresh Cup updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Fresh Cup collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Fresh Cup. Fresh Cup does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Fresh Cup may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Fresh Cup may monitor the most popular pages on freshcup.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Fresh Cup may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Fresh Cup does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Fresh Cup discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, sponsors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Fresh Cup’s behalf or to provide services available at Fresh Cup’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, sponsors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Fresh Cup’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Other than to its employees, contractors, sponsors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Fresh Cup discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Fresh Cup believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Fresh Cup, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Fresh Cup website and have supplied your email address, Fresh Cup may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Fresh Cup and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Fresh Cup takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Fresh Cup uses cookies to help Fresh Cup identify and track visitors, their usage of the Fresh Cup website, and their website access preferences. Fresh Cup visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Fresh Cup’s website, with the drawback that certain features of Fresh Cup’s website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Fresh Cup, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Fresh Cup goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Fresh Cup may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on our website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Fresh Cup and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Fresh Cup may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Fresh Cup’s sole discretion. Fresh Cup encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
