PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy outlines how your personal data is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.VitrumSmokeShop.com (the "Site").
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Whenever you visit the Site, we automatically gather certain data about your device. This includes information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. As you navigate the Site, we also collect details about the web pages or products you view, the websites or search terms that directed you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected data as “Device Information.”
Here are the technologies we use to collect Device Information:
- “Cookies” are data files placed on your device or computer that often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more about cookies, and how to disable them, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” monitor actions on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to track how you browse the Site.
When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment details (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. This information is referred to as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this policy, we are referring both to Device Information and Order Information.
HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We generally use the Order Information that we collect to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (which includes processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Furthermore, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- Provide you with information or advertising related to our products or services in accordance with your preferences.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (specifically, your IP address), and more broadly to improve and optimize our Site (for instance, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store. You can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site.
