Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information and how we will treat it.
Information We Collect and How We Use It
The personal information we gather from you includes:
- Your full name and contact details (including your telephone number, fax number, email and postal addresses);
- Details of transactions you carry out through our Site and the fulfilment of your orders;
- Payment and purchase details when you purchase a product from us (but not including credit card number and expiration date);
- If you contact us (via the Site or otherwise), we may keep a record of that correspondence.
Your personal information helps us with the handling of your orders (including sending you order notifications and reminders), delivering of products, payment processing, communicating information to you about the status of your order, products, services, occasional newsletters, promotional material and website updates including ensuring that content from our Site is presented in the most effective manner for you and your computer or device.
Your personal information helps us to improve our services to you, to prevent fraud or website abuse and enables our third party suppliers to follow through with logistics on our behalf.
When you create an account with us or submit any personal information via telephone, correspondence, e-mail or fax, all information that is received is securely stored.
If you sign up for our affiliate program we require you to provide us with certain personal information (such as your name, email address, address, Tax ID, SSN, VAT, and phone number). We also require you to provide us with your PayPal account information if this is the way you choose to be paid. We use this information to create your affiliate account and to fund your account.
In some instances, for example if you choose to have items shipped to another person we will collect their name, phone number, email address and mailing address. We will use this information only to send the items that you have selected to have shipped to the selected individuals. This information will be stored within the address section of your account so that you may select it again for use in future orders. This information will also be stored within our order records so that we may have access to it should you have any problems with your order, such as non-receipt of goods. You should only provide us with information about other people if you have their permission to do so.

Do We Share the Information We Receive?
Your personal information is extremely important to us and our business is not about selling or sharing your information or giving it away to third parties, without your prior consent. The personal information we collect from you is intended to improve our customer service. We may disclose your personal information to our third party suppliers such as companies and individuals who help to fulfil orders, send emails out on our behalf, deliver products, perform data analysis, offer guidance to our marketing department, provide customer service, fulfil shipping requests, and process credit card payments.
By making a purchase and sharing your email address you will be entered on to our customer mailing list to receive product alerts, promotional material as well as our newsletter (unless otherwise indicated). We promise to always make these emails as interesting and relevant to you as we can but if you do not wish to receive promotional material, products alerts or our newsletter you may ask to be removed from our mailing list at any time by following the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each communication. Alternatively you can email us at info@now-vaping.co.uk and request to be removed from our lists or access your email preferences via the account area and choose what, if anything, you would like to receive.
With your consent you will receive notice if and when information about you might be sent to third parties and you will have the opportunity to agree or refuse to agree to the sharing of your information at that time.
We may disclose your information as required by law, such as to comply with a witness summons, or similar legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, reduce credit risk or respond to a government request.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, we may disclose your personal information to the prospective buyer of such assets and you will be notified via email and/or prominent notice on our Site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your information.
How Secure is the Information You Hold About Me?
Our work is to ensure the protection of your information while it's being transmitted and to continue to provide a secure website and database. We maintain procedural safeguards to protect your information that is collected, stored and disclosed. It is extremely important for you to protect your user login and password from unauthorised access on the computer you use to access your account. Make sure to completely sign off your account when using a shared computer. We cannot be held liable for any types of tampering, database errors or fraud.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our order forms or Tax ID, SSN, VAT or your PayPal account information on our affiliate sign up forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
Are Children Allowed to Use Now Vaping?
Absolutely not! We have a strict policy of selling products to adults aged 18 years and older. If we believes there is personal information in our hands from a person under the age of 18 years that has breached our policy, all the account information relating to this person will be deleted immediately.
