In this written Privacy Policy, Freedom Cups describes the scope and breadth of our commitment to privacy. Freedom Cups may, in its discretion, amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes to our policy will be reflected on this page, so that you remain informed about the information we collect and how we use it.

Information That We Collect, and How We Use It
Freedom Cups collects information from our users when they submit their invoices when purchasing items, applications for vacancies advertised, when they request copies of publications, seek additional information regarding our services or employment opportunities, or try to contact us by filling out a form. Some of Freedom Cups registration, enrollment, account setup and other forms may ask users to give us contact information, unique personal identifiers, financial information, subject areas of interest and/or demographic information. We may use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our Site or, if applicable, to assess candidacy and qualifications for employment with Freedom Cups. We sometimes aggregate demographic information, and the types of systems and browsers of users for internal purposes, so that we may better understand the user population of our Site, identify subject areas of interest, and determine whether the Site is designed to work with the computer settings of a majority of our visitors. Freedom Cups may also conduct user surveys on the Web, which usually are intended to provide Freedom Cups with information on a number of areas, such as user identity, user viewing habits, whether or not users found what they were searching for, whether the Site content is relevant to user needs, and the like. Freedom Cups uses the information gathered from such surveys to improve our web content, navigation, and overall visitor experience.
Any personal information that you provide, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, subject areas of interest, etc., allows Freedom Cups to inform you about updates to the service and to notify you about other services offered by Freedom Cups that may be of interest to you. We will not sell, share, or rent or otherwise make available any of that information to other parties, except that we may disclose the information to third parties who perform services on our behalf and have a need to access the information in connection with those services. Individuals that subscribe to e-mail newsletters are given the opportunity to opt-out of promotions, news, and information at the time of sign up. Freedom Cups also provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us at the points where we request information. You may also feel free to contact us at: hello@freedomcups.org.
E-mail Addresses

We will not, however, share any e-mail addresses with any third party or send unsolicited e-mails to any of the addresses we collect, except in very limited circumstances as set forth in this policy.
