DATA PROTECTION & TRANSPARENCY
Privacy Policy.
Who we are
Founded in 2024, Aurora Coffee Hub operates as a specialty coffee brand blending Nordic coffee culture with local hospitality. Our website address is: https://auroracoffeehub.com. For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Aurora Coffee Hub acts as the Data Controller.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact Forms & Inquiries: If you contact us via email or an online form, we collect your name, email address, and any information you provide. This data is processed based on your consent or our legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries.
Cookies and Analytics: We use cookies to optimize your browsing experience and analyze website traffic. For detailed information on the cookies we use and how to manage your preferences, please refer to our Cookie Policy https://auroracoffeehub.com/cookie-policy/.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Compliance)
If you are visiting from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data depends on the specific context in which we collect it. We typically process data only:
- Where we have your explicit consent to do so.
- Where we need the personal data to perform a contract with you.
- Where the processing is in our legitimate interests (such as website security, fraud prevention, and improving our services) and not overridden by your data protection rights.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
- Customer inquiry data sent via contact forms is retained for a maximum of 24 months for customer service purposes, unless required longer for legal or accounting purposes.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, have left comments, or have submitted personal information through our contact channels, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@auroracoffeehub.com.
Where Your Data Is Sent
- Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Website data, security logs, and performance metrics may be processed by our infrastructure providers, utilizing optimized caching and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to ensure secure and efficient operations globally.
