This Privacy Policy describes the specific policies and procedures we use to collect, use, disclose, and share with others information we collect from you and about you through our Vega XO website at www.vegaxo.com (the “Site”) and the accompanying mobile application (the “App”). We take these policies and procedures seriously.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

INFORMATION COLLECTED DIRECTLY FROM YOU

We are very concerned with the collection, storage, use, and security of your personal information. When we use the term “personal information” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to information that can be used to identify you individually in keeping with the understanding of the terms “personal data” or “personally identifiable information.”

We collect personal information from you in connection with the purchase of products from our Site in our legitimate interest in satisfying your order request and advertising our business. Specifically, we collect personal information such as your name, the shipping address, telephone number, and your email address. If you are ordering a product for someone other than yourself, we will also collect the recipient’s name, their address, and their telephone number. This information is collected so that we can complete your purchase, including updating you on the status of your order and delivering the products you ordered. We also use the email addresses you provide to send information about products or services that may be of interest to you.

Our partners on this Site may collect additional information during the purchase transaction on our behalf (including your credit card number, billing address, telephone numbers, and credit card information number, type of card, expiration date, and CVV number) also as part of our legitimate interest in processing payment for the purchase.

We also collect your email address from you when you indicate on our Site that you would like to receive additional information about us. In order to satisfy your request, we use this email address to send you this additional information.

INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY FROM YOU

Social Media: You may choose to enable or log into the Site via various social media or social networking services. By doing so, we can use these social networking services to provide you with a richer and more personalized experience with our products and services. For the social network Instagram, for example, our platform provider, Shopify, has made it possible to purchase our products directly from Instagram. All Vega XO products posted from our store will automatically become “Buyable items” on Instagram. In such circumstances, Instagram will provide Shopify and Vega XO with the same sort of information we receive when you place an order with us (name, address, phone number, and email address) to process those transactions. In situations other than direct purchasing through third-party sites, we will only collect your email address from third-party social media or social networking sites and do not collect or view any other information about you.
