Privacy Policy
Life Over Coffee (“LOC,” “we,” “our” or “us”) has created this statement to describe its information gathering and privacy practices. We are sensitive to the private nature of the information you provide to us over the Internet. This Privacy Policy is designed to maximize your ability to protect your personal information, while at the same time permitting us to provide you with the opportunity to obtain interesting and useful information, products, and services.
At no time are you obligated to provide us any personal information, and if at any time you no longer wish to receive communications from us, you are free to “opt-out” of receiving these communications. Because this Privacy Policy applies to any person who provides information to LOC through its website, we strongly urge you to review this Privacy Policy in its entirety. Your use of this website constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any other applicable policies, such as our Terms of Service and Statement of Faith.
Our Collection of Your Information
To enable you to subscribe to receive information, products, or services available through our website, or to permit us to respond to your inquiries, our site’s registration forms may require that you provide contact information (like your name, telephone number, and e-mail address), demographic information (like your ZIP code), and/or financial information (like credit card numbers). Our online surveys may ask you for contact information, demographic information, and lifestyle-related information (like your hobbies, favorite athletic teams, buying preferences, etc.).

We may also collect the Internet Protocol address and e-mail address of visitors to our website, the e-mail addresses of those who post messages to a forum, and the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail. In addition to this personal information, our web servers automatically collect website usage information from you when you visit our website.

We do not share information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure – typically by opting in to receive information from a third party that is participating in a promotion on one of our websites. If you do not want your information to be used by a third party for direct marketing purposes (or other purposes unrelated to the uses described herein), do not opt-in to such use by that third party.
Please note that if you opt-in to receive direct marketing from a third party, your information will be subject to that party’s privacy policy.
