Your order should support Scouting, not expose your life.

Scope

This policy applies to the Scouting Coffee storefront, account tools, checkout integrations, and council order-attribution reporting. It does not replace the separate privacy policies of Stripe, our roasting and delivery partner, a participating council, or another linked service.

Information we collect

Order and contact information

We may receive your name, email address, shipping address, products, quantities, grind choices, subscription selection, order status, and support-unit preference.

Payment and billing information

Stripe processes payment details. Scouting Coffee may receive payment status, customer and subscription identifiers, invoice information, and limited card details such as brand and last four digits. The storefront is not designed to store your full card number.

Account information

We use your email address, secure session records, account preferences, and subscription references to provide passwordless sign-in and customer tools.

Device and security information

Hosting and security systems may process IP address, browser and device details, request logs, cookie identifiers, and signals used to prevent abuse or diagnose errors.

How we use information

• Process and confirm orders and subscriptions
• Share accepted orders with our roasting and delivery partner
• Provide secure account and billing-portal access
• Record the council and optional troop association selected for an order
• Prepare council commission and unit-attribution reporting
• Detect fraud, protect the service, and troubleshoot problems
• Meet accounting, tax, legal, and dispute-resolution obligations

Scouting Coffee does not use troop preference as a behavioral advertising profile.

Who receives information

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect customers or the service, during a business reorganization, or with your direction.

Cookies, sessions, and security

Secure account access uses an HttpOnly session cookie after a valid email link is verified. Payment and infrastructure providers may set their own cookies under their policies. If optional analytics is enabled, the live site should disclose it through its configuration and consent controls where required.

No online system can promise perfect security. We use access controls, limited-purpose service integrations, and secure transport to reduce risk, and we avoid collecting information the storefront does not need.

Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide orders and accounts, prepare financial records, handle disputes, meet legal requirements, and protect the service. Different records may have different retention periods. Session and verification records are intended to expire more quickly than transaction records.

Your choices

You can choose not to associate an order with a troop. When signed in, your account can show whether troop support is enabled. Stripe's customer portal provides available subscription and billing controls.

To request access, correction, or deletion where applicable, use the support contact included with your order or account communication. Some transaction records may need to be retained for accounting, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

The storefront is intended for adults purchasing coffee. It is not designed to collect account or payment information directly from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the published version. Material changes should be communicated through the storefront or account channel when appropriate.
