This Privacy Policy & Notice of California Privacy Rights (this “Privacy Policy”) explains how Vapor IO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vapor” or “we”), collects and uses the information about you (“personal information”) that we receive while you use Vapor’s websites and your rights regarding that personal information. We are committed to diligently protecting the privacy of your personal information, so we may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect new personal information practices, when we modify our policies and in any other circumstances when it seems appropriate to do so. We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive information from children.
When you access our website, we may collect personal information about you that includes, but is not limited to, data about the device and software that you use to access our websites and your browsing actions and patterns. We collect this information by using cookies, server logs and similar technologies. We may also collect information that is provided by you, such as your name, employer’s name, work address, email address and telephone number.
We process this personal information to obtain information about our websites, your engagement with our own and third-party content, your interest in our products and services and to enable you to request information from us, to communicate with us and to be contacted by us. We do not and will not sell the personal information that we collect from you through our websites.
Vapor relies on fulfillment of contract and legitimate interest as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6 for processing the personal information that we collect in this manner.
Vapor may offer through our websites a variety of information and content including blog posts, articles and white papers. This content may include or involve original content and content from and links to news feeds, blogs and other content that is produced by third parties. This means you may be able to follow a link from our website to a third party’s website to obtain additional content. When you do this, you will be leaving our website. Vapor is not responsible or liable for any content provided by these third parties, your interaction with their websites or for any personal information that they may gather from you.
We may offer you the opportunity to chat with us through our websites and blogs and to access our own online content and publications. If you interact with us through our websites for these purposes, we may collect personal information about you and may ask you to provide additional information that may be helpful for fulfilling your request. If you submit a question or comment through our blog or via chat, we reserve the right to publish your question or comment to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help others.
You may be asked to provide your first name and last name, business email address, position, company and location. We may store this information in cloud-hosted databases. We do not share this information with any third party other than for the purpose of fulfilling your request. We rely on a contract basis to process your personal information for purposes of fulfilling your request to receive any requested publications and newsletters, which may be considered direct marketing.
You may wish that we contact you or provide information that may be helpful to you. For example, you may have questions about our products and services or want to be contacted by a member of our sales or support staff.
When requesting that Vapor contact you, we may ask you to submit personal information including your first name and last name, business email address, position, company and location. We will not share this information with any third party except as necessary to fulfill your request and to store your information in our databases. We may rely on third parties on a contract basis to process your personal information for purposes of fulfilling your request.
You may choose to subscribe to ongoing news, product and other updates, which may be considered direct marketing. You may also choose to unsubscribe at any time. Please note that setting your browser to block cookies may have an impact on your ability to unsubscribe. If you have any difficulties managing your email or other communication preferences with Vapor, please Contact Us.
We use Google Analytics to track how often people access our websites and content. We use this information in the aggregate to understand what content, products and services may be useful or interesting, so that we may better meet your needs.
We may occasionally conduct website-based surveys to solicit information for various business purposes. When doing so, we do not track individuals who respond but look at responsive information in the aggregate only. Participation in surveys is voluntary.
We may send you emails to inform you about products and services that we offer and that are offered by our external business partners. We may also request your feedback on these products and services. When doing so, we will not share your personal information with our external business partners. You may at any time opt out of such communications by Contacting Us or using the links provided in any such emails.
We may use a third-party email service provider e.g., MailChimp to manage our subscriptions. Services like this are necessary because third-party email service providers are equipped to send bulk emails, manage subscribe/unsubscribe features, keep track of open rates and invalid email addresses, and related functions. When you click on a hyperlink in an email sent to you as part of this function, the URL will include a tracking code. We may use this information to better understand the type of information that you and other subscribers seek so that we can produce information that is most relevant to you and other subscribers. MailChimp does not use or sell this information.
If you correspond with us by email, the postal service, or other form of communication, we may retain such communications and information and use it to respond to your inquiry or to keep a record of your correspondence.
If you prefer that we do not contact you or that we delete your personal information, please Contact Us.
Note: if you ask us not to contact you using a certain email address, we will retain a copy of that email address on a “master do not send” list in order to comply with your no-contact request.
Vapor has a legitimate interest in maintaining certain personal information about those who communicate voluntarily with us.
Sometimes our legitimate interest is in processing data to better understand the needs, concerns, and interests of our customers and potential customers. We also have a legitimate interest in monitoring and protecting the security of our information, systems and network, in conducting research and product development, in marketing and commercial activities, and in ensuring that our website content is presented most effectively to you and for your device.
