  • Provide support or other services.
  • Provide information based on your needs and respond to your requests
  • Send news and marketing information, if you have agreed to receive it.

3. Who Can Use the Information We Collect and How?

When you purchase RoosRoast products, we use trusted third-party payment processors such as PayPal and companies that securely handle your credit card information on the Shopify platform (see below for more details). Other than these trusted parties who act on our behalf and except as explained in this Policy, we do NOT transfer your personal data to unrelated third parties unless we have a legal basis to do so (if you violate our Terms of Service) or when we must respond to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders. We will only provide this information following receipt of a valid subpoena or other legal process.

4. How Do We Protect the Personal Information We Collect?

Our Site is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Direct Payment Gateways: If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. These service providers have their own privacy policies that address the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. Thus, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how they protect your personal information.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our Site and its service providers.

The RoosRoast mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by RoosRoast (“RoosRoast”, “we”, or “us”). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.

By consenting to RoosRoast’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of RoosRoast through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).

You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with RoosRoast. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.

We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to SMS/text messages, including charges from your wireless provider.
