Information Collected at MeanBeanCoffeeRoasters.com
The information we learn from users of our website allows us to personalize and continually improve your experience at Mean Bean Roasters. Here are the types of information we gather:

Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use “cookies,” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses meanbeanroasters.com. Cookies are pieces of data your web browser stores on your hard drive to enable our systems to recognize your browser.

Information You Give Us
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests and communicating with you.

Information from Other Sources
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service, we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

Does Mean Bean Roasters Share the Information It Receives?
Personally identifiable information that visitors submit to our sites is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. Such other uses may include sending you information or materials we think you will find interesting, or sharing the information with Mean Bean Roaster’s advertisers and reputable business partners. However, at the time of collection, you will typically have the option of instructing us not to send you additional information or share your personal information with third parties. MeanBeanCoffeeRoasters.com is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of our business partners.

Mean Bean Roasters may use reputable third parties to manage activities available on our sites including, but not limited to, product fulfillment and the Forums. These parties may have access to personally identifiable information submitted by visitors who participate in those activities. In most instances, Mean Bean Roasters instructs these third parties to use personally identifiable information only for the specific purpose for which it is collected, and not to sell, market or transfer such information to other entities. If Mean Bean Roasters obtains personal information that has been collected from you by a third party, including our business partners, this Privacy Policy nonetheless governs Mean Bean Roaster’s use of that information.

Please remember that any information posted on the Mean Bean Roasters Forums becomes public information. You should use caution when sharing information, as any of it can be collected and used by people you may not know. Users under the age of 18 should be particularly careful not to divulge any personal information. While Mean Bean Roasters strives to protect and respect your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose on the Mean Bean Roasters Forums and you do so at your own risk.

Mean Bean Roasters may use personally identifiable information in aggregate form to make our sites better and more responsive to the needs of our visitors. This statistical compilation and analysis of information may also be used by Mean Bean Roasters or provided to others, in aggregate, for marketing, advertising or research purposes.

As we continue to develop our business, we might be involved in an acquisition or other corporate transaction. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Mean Bean Roasters, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Web Site Terms of Use and other applicable agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Mean Bean Roasters, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

If at any time after submitting your personal information to our sites you decide that you do not want to receive any additional information or communications from us, simply follow the “unsubscribe” directions at the end of any email communication you receive.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
Mean Bean Roasters maintains appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable information submitted to our sites, and periodically reviews and updates its security measures in light of current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. Although Mean Bean Roasters strives to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warranty the security of any information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. This is done so at your own risk. Once we do receive your transmission, however, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. We (or our third party business partners) use Verisign as our SSL (Secure Socket Layer) digital certificate provider when required, providing our customers the strongest certificate services available. When credit card information is transmitted, industry standard encryption is used.

About Children
Mean Bean Roasters is concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet. Pursuant to the Children’s Online Protection Act of 1998, Walk4Life will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.

Links to Third Party and Co-Branded Sites
Mean Bean Roasters may establish relationships with reputable business partners that allow visitors to our Internet sites to link directly to sites operated by these partners. Some of these sites may be “co-branded” with a Mean Bean Roasters logo; however, these sites are not operated or maintained by Mean Bean Roasters. These sites may collect personal information from you that may be shared with Mean Bean Roasters. As noted above, this Privacy Policy will apply to any personal information we obtain in this manner.

Mean Bean Roasters chooses its advertisers and business partners carefully. However, Mean Bean Roasters is not responsible for the content or practices of Web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our sites. These links are meant for the user’s convenience only. Links to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship, endorsement or approval by Mean Bean Roasters of the content, policies or practices of such third party sites. Once you have left a Mean Bean Roasters site via such a link, you should review the applicable privacy policy of any third party site that you visit.

Mean Bean Roasters sites may also be linked to Web sites operated by companies affiliated with Mean Bean Roasters. Visitors to those sites should refer to their separate privacy policies and practices.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions
