Therefore, we encourage you to check the date of our privacy policy whenever you visit this Site for any updates or changes.

Please Note: This site includes links to other websites, such as www.espressorepublic.com and Partner and Supplier websites. We provide these links as a courtesy to you and we do not have control over the operation of the websites, even though they may use the Dripp® name or logo. In addition, you may sign up for accounts on some of these websites. These websites have their own privacy and information security policy and terms and conditions and do not necessarily follow our privacy policy. Their policies will control their collection and use of your personal information.

INTERNATIONAL USERS

If you are located outside of the United States, please note that this Site is hosted on servers in the United States. Any personal information collected through this Site may be transferred to the United States and other countries that might not provide an equivalent level of protection as the data protection laws in your home country. Your use of this Site or submission of any personal information will therefore constitute your consent to the transfer of your personal information outside of your home country.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

The provision of personal information to Dripp® means that you agree and consent that we may collect, use and share your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy.

In addition, where appropriate, specific authorizations or consents may be obtained from time to time. For example, we may seek consent to use and share personal information after it has been collected in those cases where Dripp® wishes to use the information for a purpose not previously identified or for which the individual concerned has not previously provided consent.

In most cases, and subject to legal and contractual restrictions, an individual is free to refuse or withdraw his or her consent at any time upon reasonable, advance notice. It should be noted that in some circumstances, certain Dripp® products and services can only be offered if a person provides personal information to Dripp®. If you choose not provide us with any required personal information, we may not be able to offer the products or services requested. We will inform you of the consequences of the withdrawal of consent.

WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION DOES DRIPP® COLLECT?

Personal Information means information that can be used to identify an individual and includes:

  • Name, address, phone number, e-mail address, birth date;

  • Financial information, such as credit card number;

  • Tender loaded on the Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card through agents such as Givex, Micros, XtremePayment Processing; and others.

  • Employment-related information, such as may be found on resumes, applications, background verification information, or in employment references.

When you purchase goods at our stores through a Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card program or otherwise, we collect information about the purchases you make.

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

Business contact information (e.g. office address, telephone number) is not considered personal information in certain jurisdictions.

We collect website use information which includes information about your internet service provider, browser type, domain name, IP address, the website that referred you to us, the webpages you request, the date and time of those requests, and entry and exit points. Collection of website use information is described in more detail here. Our collection of website use information may involve the use of cookies and pixel tags.

Dripp® may also collect aggregated data, which is data from which the identity of an individual cannot be determined.

HOW DOES DRIPP® USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Dripp® may use personal information provided orally or in writing (including via electronic media) by customers in order to:

  • Process and manage your purchase of Dripp® products and services, including the purchases through Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card programs;

  • Respond to your customer service inquiries, post your comments or statements on any blog or other online forum maintained on the Site, or take other actions in response to your inquiries or other online activities;

  • Create personalized promotions by combining your personal information with non personal information about you, such as the amounts and types of purchases you make or any benefits you receive through Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card programs.

  • Communicate with you about your order or purchase, your Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card program account, your Dripp.com account, a contest or sweepstakes you have entered, a request for more information or your blog or any online forum posting;

  • Communicate with you about specific jobs, job opportunities or general information about employment at Dripp®, in the event you have created a personal profile or submitted your resume online; and

  • Communicate with you about our brands, products, events or other promotional purposes, including co-branded offers, if you have opted to receive such communications either by providing us with your email address on the home page of Dripp.com or by selecting communication preferences when you signed up for a Dripp.com account or registered your Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card or joined any Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card program. You can opt-out of receiving marketing information at any time by changing the settings of your communication preferences, by following the unsubscribe links on any marketing sent to you.

IS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION SHARED WITH THIRD PARTIES?

We may arrange to have other companies’ marketing and promotions sent to you, but only if you have indicated in your communication preferences that you are interested in such communications.

We may also share information with companies that provide support services to us (such as credit card processors, mailing houses or web hosts), that help us market our products and services (such as email vendors) or our strategic partners. These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them for any other purpose.

We may disclose specific information upon governmental request, in response to a court order, when required by law, to enforce our corporate policies, or to protect our or others’ rights, property or safety. We do not provide information to these agencies or companies for marketing or commercial purposes.

Also, if you participate in any blog or other online forum on our Site, any personal information that you post on the website may be shared with other participants in the forum. In any of these situations, the recipient of the personal information may be located in the United States or another jurisdiction that may not provide an equivalent level of data protection to the laws in your home country.

In the event of a sale of some or all of our business, Dripp® may disclose personal information to those involved in a transfer of all or part of the assets or business. If such an event were to occur, Dripp® would strive to ensure that the recipient treat your personal information as described in this policy.

HOW CAN I CHANGE WHAT PROMOTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS I RECEIVE?

We may use your email address and other contact information provided to us through the Site or any Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card program to send you promotional materials from us and, if you’ve opted in, from third parties. If you do not want to receive such promotional information, you can change your communication preferences and remove yourself from our email list at any time. If you have a Dripp.com account please log in and unsubscribe.

Please also note that even if you opt out of receiving promotional emails from us, we may still use your information to communicate with you for other purposes, such as orders, purchases, your Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card program account, customer service responses and employment application related communications.

HOW DO I REMOVE OR MODIFY MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Dripp® strives to ensure that any personal information provided and in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which we use that information.

If you have signed up for a Dripp.com account either through joining a Dripp® Loyalty/Gift Card program or making a purchase, we have provided you with a means to log into your account and edit your personal information including name, postal address and phone number to ensure its accuracy at all times.

If you applied for a position at Dripp®, you can contact for more information.
