**PRIVACY STATEMENT**

**SECTION 1 - INFORMATION COLLECTION**
When you purchase items from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we gather personal information you provide such as your name, address, and email address. Additionally, when you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to provide us with information that helps us understand your browser and operating system.
With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
**SECTION 2 - CONSENT**
How is my consent obtained?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply your consent to collect and use it for that specific reason only. If we seek your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.
How can I withdraw my consent?
If after opting in, you change your mind, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at vape.ogs@gmail.com.
**SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE**
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
**SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY**
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
**Payment:**
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

**SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES**
Generally, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled.
Remember, certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So, if you proceed with a transaction that involves a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that service provider or its facilities are located. For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

**SECTION 6 - SECURITY**
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
