We respect the privacy of every individual who visits this site. This Privacy Policy explains how www.zinccafe.com (“Website”) collects and otherwise processes personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”).
You may choose to submit Personal Information (such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number) to us at several different points on our website. We collect and use Personal Information for business purposes only. We will not share this information in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the Website, please contact us at mwanstreet@zinccafe.com.
Who is collecting your information
The Website is owned and operated by Zinc Café & Market, Inc. ( ZINC ). This Policy applies only to www.zinccafe.com. Zinc is the sole owner of the information collected on the Website. All websites operated by Zinc will adhere to this Policy.
LINKS
This Zinc Website contains links to other sites whose privacy policies may differ from those of Zinc. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if you access them using links from our Website.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information on www.zinccafe.com is gathered in two ways: (1) indirectly, i.e., certain anonymous information about all visitors, such as domain name, browser type and page views, which is collected through our site's technology and is not linked to individual identities (see “Cookies” below); and (2) directly, when you voluntarily submit Personal Information such as, first and last names, addresses and email addresses, on various pages of www.zinccafe.com. When we collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this information will be used.
COOKIES
Some information that we collect about subscribers is collected passively through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small files of information, which save and retrieve information about your visit to Zinccafe.com - for example, how you entered and navigated our site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use do not contain personally identifiable information.
ORDERS
We also request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide contact details and financial information, such as credit card payment information. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION AND WHO WE SHARE IT WITH
During the course of business, we may disclose Personal Information to third-party service providers who have been legally contracted to help us with these tasks, and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. We may also need to disclose Personal Information where required by law, court order, or in connection with the sale or transfer of all or part of the business.
CHOICE/OPT-OUT
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their Personal Information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product or register for a service from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
PROTECTING CHILDREN:
Zinc Cafe takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of children. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13. Our websites are general audience sites.

We aim to keep our information about you as accurate as possible. If you would like to review or change the details you have supplied us with, please contact us as set out below. In some cases we may need to use Personal Information obtained previously to verify your identity.
HOW WE ENSURE THE SECURITY OF YOUR DATA
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.
We have also implemented additional technology, as well as policies and procedures to safeguard your privacy from unauthorized access or use and will continue to update these measures as new technology becomes available.
