This Privacy Policy describes how CoffeeGIANT.com treats information received about you when you provide information to us (for instance, by purchasing goods or services through our Web Site, subscribing to our newsletter, or by responding to our customer surveys). This policy is organized into the following sections:

Please read the Privacy Policy carefully. Our SSL certificate will encrypt all person personal information, including name, address, and credit card information. Please be aware that no computer system should be considered safe from intrusion. E-mail may pass through many computer systems, and should not be considered a secure means of communication unless encrypted. Even then, information is only as secure as the encryption method. Therefore, although we take many precautions to protect our system and our servers, we cannot guarantee the security of any data on any server, including "secure servers."
1. Customer Information
Customer information is information such as name, address, telephone number, and credit card information -- information that identifies a particular individual or business. CoffeeGIANT.com collects and stores customer information in the following ways:
As part of a customer's purchase, customers may be asked to provide their name, address, telephone number(s), company name (if applicable), and credit card or other billing information.
As part of the sign up process to receive email newsletters, a customer must provide us with a valid email address.
How We Use Customer Information
The customer information that we collect is or may be used:
1. To complete an order;
2. To send opt-in newsletters and /or special offers;
3. To make sure that only CoffeeGIANT.com customers are able to access certain member-only services.
This information is kept on limited access computers and is only available to those employees who have a need to know.
We provide some information to companies that we use to perform certain functions for us -- for example, credit card numbers are sent to a credit card processing company. These companies are authorized to use this information only for the expressed purpose of completing CoffeeGIANT.com business and are not authorized to release this information to other third parties.
1. Occasionally, we use our customer email list to distribute opt-in only CoffeeGIANT.com newsletters or important notices to our customers.
2. We will share customer information with governmental authorities when legally required to do so, and may cooperate with these authorities investigating claims of illegal activity such as (but not limited to) illegal transfer or use of copyrighted material, or postings or e-mail containing threats of violence. Except under the limited circumstances described above, we do not disclose customer information to third parties.
2. Voluntary Customer Surveys
CoffeeGIANT.com may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys. We encourage all of our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to you. Please remember that your participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
How We Use Customer Survey Responses
We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our customer surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other CoffeeGIANT.com customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. The aggregated information may be shared with third parties.
3. Web Site Use and Navigation Information
Each time a user visits our Web Site, certain use and navigation information is collected by our servers. It tells us how our Web Site is used and navigated, including the number, frequency and duration of visits to each Web page.
Web Site use and navigation information that we collect may include the domain names of visitors who are not already CoffeeGIANT.com customers (such as "www.yourisp.com"), and of CoffeeGIANT.com customers, but it does not otherwise contain individually identifiable information about any visitor to our Web Site.
How We Use Web Site Use and Navigation Information
Like customer survey information, we use the aggregated information to improve the content and navigation features of our Web Site.
