Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. So we've developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and please let us know if you have any questions.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person.
eCig-parts.com does not share this personal information with anyone except as required by law enforcement agencies or for necessary services to complete the transaction.
Here are the types of personal information eCig-parts.com may collect and how we may use it.
What personal information we collect
- When you create a user ID or place an order, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, gender, company name, mailing address, phone number, IP and email address.
- Encrypted with SSL technology, your credit card information is processed through Authorize.net's secure server. For your protection, eCig-parts.com does not store nor retain your credit card information.
- When you recommend a product to your family and friends using the built-in auto emailer, you will be asked to enter their name and email address. eCig-parts.com does not share those name or email address you have provided with anyone.
How we use your personal information
- The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on eCig-parts.com's upcoming promotions and events. If you don't want to be on our VIP list, you can opt out of our newletter anytime by updating your preferences.
- From time to time, we may use your personal information to contact you, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with eCig-parts.com, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect non-personal information - data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
- We may collect information such as language, zip code, location, and the time zone where a user logged on so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising.
- We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. eCig-parts.com may use this information in our marketing and advertising services. If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
