The information that we collect about you will only be used lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation). All data is retained within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA) and transferred only to countries outside the EEA where that country has an adequate level of legal protection for personal data or where we use an appropriate safeguard (as provided for by data protection laws) for protecting your personal data when it is transferred. You have the right to ask us for the details of any such safeguard that we use to transfer your personal data to a destination outside the EEA.

Our legal basis for processing your personal data depends on our reasons for processing your data in a particular situation. We use information held about you (and information about others) in the following ways:

  • To provide you with our services and to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us (i.e. for the performance of a contract between us);
  • To provide you with information about products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes or otherwise where you are an existing customer and you have not opted out of receiving marketing messages about similar products to those you have purchased. Unless you ask us not to, we will provide you with direct marketing by way of email or social media message (i.e. on the basis that you have provided your consent or because it is in our legitimate interests).
  • To ensure the content on our website is presented in the most effective manner for you and your computer or mobile device (legitimate interests); and

  • Once you’ve signed up, we keep a record of all billings and shipments made to you including the types and grinds of coffee you’ve received. This helps us troubleshoot if, for example, the coffee gets lost in the post and also helps us recommend new ways for you to enjoy coffee.
  • We process your personal data for these purposes on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of our contract (information about your order, billing and shipping) with you and also on the basis of legitimate interests i.e. because it is in our legitimate interests as a business to ensure that you receive your order and to let you know about similar products that we think you might be interested in (direct marketing) unless you tell us that you don’t want to receive any marketing messages.
  • Information about Orders, purchases, subscriptions, product queries, complaints (about products, our website, and marketing), career opportunities and partnership opportunities. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

  • Customer Satisfaction Surveys – We sometimes send Customer Satisfaction Surveys. We use these for our own research purposes although you do not have to respond to them. We process the data from Customer Satsifaction Surveys because it is within the legitimate interests of our business to monitor our performance, improve our products and services and help to further improve our customer service etc.

COOKIES

We use cookies and similar tools on our website (our “Website”) to improve its performance and enhance your user experience. This policy explains how we do that.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit as well as other functions set out below. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

Cookies used on this site will not collect information that identifies you personally, but may instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our Website. Where a specific user needs to be identified and tracked, for example when logging in, they are identified using an anonymous token or ID.

What sort of cookies does our Website use?

The following cookies are created by our Website to enable functionality. Personal details are never stored.

Necessary Cookies

Cookie Purpose Duration
token To enable a user to login to their account by authenticating their details. 1 day
voucher code To remember the offer code a user applied when creating a plan, if they haven’t completed checkout. 5 days
plan-cache To remember the plan details a user selected when creating a plan, if they haven’t completed checkout. 5 days

Ad hoc cookies

Occasionally we need to use cookies to enable a feature that records user preferences, for example to remember that a user has seen a message or performed an action so that we don’t need to remind them again.

Does anyone else use cookies on our Website?

We do use or allow third parties to set cookies on our Website. For example, like many companies, we use analytics to help us monitor our traffic, to get a sense of how many visitors the Website receives every day and which sections of the site users typically look at. It’s a key way of knowing how well we’re doing and what we can do better.

We may also use third party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions.

Please note we do not allow advertising on our Website so there will be no cookies for this purpose.

The following covers third-party cookies used on our Website. Again, personal details are never stored.

Cookies Purpose
Analytics cookies Cookies are sometimes used to monitor volume of user activity and behaviour across the site (pages visited, time spent on pages and so on).
Conversion/Tracking pixels We sometimes pay for advertising from marketing partners on other sites, for example; Facebook. These third parties sometimes require that we put a tiny image (“pixel”) from their site on any landing pages that users might arrive at. These pixels can create cookies for the third party so we can work with them to understand how successful marketing campaigns were. We also need to understand where a user came from, so that, if the user goes on to sign up on our Website, we can pay the correct marketing partner for their service.
This website uses retargeting services from the social network Facebook. Facebook collects certain information via cookies to determine which web pages are visited. This data is then used to associate your browser with interest and demographic categories, and serve Facebook ads based on your past visits to this website. Please note that any information collected by Facebook via cookies is not linked to any customer’s personal information collected by us

Can you block cookies?

For example, deleting our proprietary cookies might mean that you cannot log in and view your account pages, or purchase items from the store. Deleting third party cookies is less likely to cause a buggy experience, but it does mean that we might be unable to generate accurate data about how our site and services are performing.
