Privacy Policy

Last Updated January 2020

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy policies and practices of Mill City Roasters, LLC dba Roast Path, (“RoastPATH”) regarding its data logging and sharing application, “Roast Path,” (“RoastPATH”) and all associated services provided at or through the roastpath.com website (collectively, the “Services”).

Most of our Users (as defined below) will use the Services as intended in a harmless way for collegues and strangers to share information. But, be aware, information about your location is subject to misuse and monitoring by other Users. Please take care with how you use the Services and with how you manage your information and communications through the Services.

Please be aware that any profile, Personal Information or Location Information (each as defined below) that you voluntarily disclose on any public forum becomes publicly available and can be read, collected, and used by others and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. Company is not responsible for any profile, Personal Information or Location Information that you choose to disclose publicly using the Services.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Terms of Service. Your use of the Services and any Personal Information and Location Information you provide in using the Services is subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

What Information Does RoastPATH Collect and How Does RoastPATH Use That Information?

Company optionally collects personal identification information from users of the Service. A person who uses the Services (a “User”) must create an account, which requires the user to choose a username, or accepted an assigned name, and password, and allows the User to optionally provide his or her email address (collectively, “Personal Information”). Company or its contractors retain Personal Information on their servers indefinitely. Usernames and email addresses are stored unencrypted on a secure database. User passwords are never stored in a database or log. Any encrypted hash is generated and stored in place of the password. Never share your password with anyone, not even a RoastPATH employee. A RoastPATH employee does not need your password to access your account to assist you with support issues. Use a unique password for RoastPATH. Do not use a password for RoastPATH that you have used with another site. You may reset your password if you forget it, using your registered email address, if you provided one. Your password should only be entered into an application distributed by RoastPATH or though the web portal provided by RoastPATH. All other applications or web sites requesting your RoastPATH password are fake and should be reported to support@roastpath.com.

Some actions a user may make in the application will make others aware of when you are using the application. Users who post messages in a forum or send a private message to another user, will expose the time of day, they were using the application, and posted the message.

Company does not use Personal Information or Company Information to send commercial or marketing SMS text messages or email messages to Users without their express consent or unless they have opted-in to be part of a specific program or feature. If the user optionally provides an email address as part of their account profile information, RoastPATH reserves the right to send user email messages regarding their account, important application updates or important company news, not to exceed more than 1 informational message a week, unless an emergency exists.

When Users access the RoastPATH website, Company automatically records on its server logs certain information from that User’s computer, including but not limited to web requests, Internet Protocol address (the unique set of numbers used to identify User’s computers), browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the number of messages related to the User’s profile, the amount of time spent on particular web pages, and the dates and times of requests. Company, its contractors and other third parties that help Company provide the Services (“Company’s Agents”) may use “cookies” to improve User experience. A “cookie” is a small file placed on a User’s computer hard drive that identifies the computer and data about the visit so that, when the visitor returns to the RoastPATH website, the website recognizes the User, which allows Company to tailor the Services to the User. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information but may be linked to Personal Information that visitors provide to Company. Company uses Google Analytics for the Services. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous traffic data, which may include information about a User’s operating system, browser version, referring site, and keywords used to locate the Services. Advertisers that place ads through the Services may use their own cookies. Any information collected by advertisers is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

If a user or visitor requests information by sending Company an email, Company may save the user’s or visitor’s e-mail address and any other information that the visitor provides. This information may be used by Company to provide services or products the user or visitor requests and to contact the user or visitor in the future by mail, by e-mail, or by phone to convey information about Company’s services.

Company may aggregate the information it collects by removing any data that can personally identify any specific User to create “Aggregate Information.” Such anonymized Aggregate Information is not Personal Information or Company Information. Company may use Aggregate Information to analyze how Users use the Services to determine ways in which Company can improve the Services and to consider offering new services to Users.

Company may use or disclose Personal Information and Location Information to comply with applicable laws; to protect the rights and property of Company or others; to protect a person’s safety; to prevent abuse; as evidence in legal proceedings; to cooperate with properly authorized law enforcement investigations; and in response to subpoenas from third parties. Company will use good faith efforts to promptly notify a User of any subpoena that seeks any of the User’s Personal Information or Location Information to enable the User to seek to quash the subpoena. Finally, Company may disclose or sell Personal and Location Information as an asset in conjunction with the sale of Company to a third party or in conjunction with the sale of a portion of Company’s assets.

Obtaining User Consent

To use the Services, the User must consent to: (a) the collection of his or her Roasting, Greens and Coffee Information; other application activity that is publicly tracked via sharing, messages and chats through the Services with other Users; and (c) pay carrier data, messaging, and other fees resulting from use of the Services. Users will be prompted for this consent upon activating an account

Company may share Personal and Location Information with Company’s Agents. Company has entered into or will enter into written agreements with Company’s Agents to whom it discloses Personal Information and Location Information that requires them to adhere to pertinent provisions of this Privacy Policy and the Safe Harbor Principles issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, which are available at http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/SH_Privacy.asp. Company also prohibits Company’s Agents from using any information disclosed to them by Company for purposes other than implementing Company’s instructions.

Selecting a Username

Users wishing to maintain anonymity while playing RoastPATH should avoid choosing a username that matches a username they have used in other online services. Users should avoid using their instagram or twitter handle or other online network name, if they wish to avoid other users from making this connection. Users should also avoid posting their roasting activity or screen shots online, via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or other online social platforms. Users should not select a username that includes all or part of their real name, nickname or other name that would be identifiable.

How to Correct, Update, Delete and Cleanse Information Obtained by RoastPATH

A User may change their email address at any time by updating their profile on the web portal at https://portal.roastpath.com. A User’s email address is never associated with a user’s activity in the application.

All messages sent in the application are currently available for up to 60 days. This duration may change in the future, without notice or update to this privacy policy. These messages may allow anyone to whom you have sent a message in the past 60 days to identify your new username, as the “reply” option will allow them to respond to your message with your new codename. Likewise, if you still have profiles your new username will be reflected on the ‘roasted by’ information.
