This Privacy Policy explains how Cafe Noir Bookshop (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit our website or interact with our services. By using our site, you agree to the terms described here.
Information We Collect
We collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and payment details when you make a purchase, sign up for an event, join newsletters, or contact us. We also collect analytics data, cookies, and technical information automatically through our website host, GoDaddy. Our platform may capture browsing behavior, device information, IP addresses, and other usage data.
If you make purchases through Square, your payment information is processed directly by Square, and we do not store full payment card details. If you purchase books through Libro.fm or Bookshop.org, any information collected on their platform is governed by their own privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
We use trusted service providers to operate parts of our website and business. This includes GoDaddy for hosting, Square for e-commerce and payment processing, and Libro.fm or Bookshop.org for book sales. These third parties may collect or receive personal information as needed to perform their functions. We do not sell or share personal information with outside parties for marketing purposes.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to provide products and services, process orders, deliver updates, communicate about events, operate online sales, respond to inquiries, and improve the functionality of our website. Cookies and analytics tools help us understand visitor activity and enhance the experience.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for our business needs and to comply with legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we may delete it or de-identify it so it no longer identifies an individual. Retention decisions consider factors such as whether you maintain an account with us, legal obligations, tax requirements, or other operational needs.

You may opt out of cookies through your browser settings and manage your email marketing preferences at any time by unsubscribing from our communications. If you wish to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, you may contact us using the information below.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If you believe information has been collected from a child, please contact us so we may remove it promptly.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. While no system is completely secure, we work to safeguard data according to industry standards and through the protections offered by our service providers.

Our website may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their respective policies.
