At Vibe Natural Vegan (vibenaturalvegan.com), we value your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you visit our website or use our services. It applies to vibenaturalvegan.com and any other sites we own or operate, and is designed to comply with global privacy standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union (EU).

Information We Collect

We only collect personal information when it’s necessary to provide you with a service or enhance your experience. We always strive to collect data in a fair, lawful, and transparent way, with your knowledge and consent. Here’s what we may collect:

• Personal Data: Name, email address, or other details you provide when contacting us, subscribing to our newsletter, or purchasing from our future online store.
• Billing and Shipping Details: If you buy products from our store (once launched), we’ll collect the information needed to process your order.
• Browsing Data: Anonymous data like IP addresses, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected via cookies or analytics tools (see “Cookies and Tracking” below).

You’ll always be informed about why we’re collecting your data and how it will be used.

How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Respond to your inquiries or comments via our contact form.
• Process and deliver orders from our online store (when available).
• Send you newsletters, updates, or promotional content, but only if you’ve explicitly opted in.
• Improve our website by analyzing usage patterns and tailoring content about veganism, eco-travel, and cruelty-free living to your interests.

For EU residents, we rely on the following legal bases under GDPR:

• Consent: For newsletters, cookies, or marketing (you can withdraw consent anytime).
• Contract: To fulfill orders or services you request.
• Legitimate Interest: To improve our site and offer relevant content, balanced with your rights and freedoms.

Data Retention and Protection

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide the service you’ve requested, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes. For example:

• Contact form data is retained until your inquiry is resolved.
• Order data is kept as required by tax or consumer laws (typically 5-7 years).

When we store data, we use industry-standard security measures to protect it from loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. However, no online system is fully immune to risks, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal data publicly or with third parties, except in these cases:

• When required by law or to comply with legal processes (e.g., court orders).
• With trusted service providers (e.g., payment processors, hosting services, or email platforms) who help us run the site, under strict confidentiality agreements.
• In anonymized form for analytics or advertising purposes (see “Cookies and Tracking” below).

If you’re in the EU, we’ll ensure any data transfers outside the European Economic Area (EEA) comply with GDPR, using safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your Rights

You have control over your personal information. Depending on your location, your rights may include:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Correction: Ask us to update inaccurate information.
• Deletion: Request removal of your data (subject to legal exceptions).
• Objection: Opt out of certain uses, like marketing or behavioral ads.
• Portability: Receive your data in a structured format (EU residents).
• Withdraw Consent: Stop us from using your data where consent is the basis.

To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@vibenaturalvegan.com. You’re free to refuse providing personal data, but this may limit our ability to offer certain services (e.g., store purchases or newsletters). EU residents can also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, support our site, and deliver relevant ads:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the site to function (e.g., navigation, store checkout).
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g., Google Analytics), collecting anonymized data.
• Advertising Cookies:
  • Google AdSense: We may use Google AdSense, which employs a DoubleClick cookie to show relevant ads and limit repeats. Learn more in Google’s Privacy FAQs.
  • Affiliate Tracking: As part of the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs, cookies track purchases made via our links, earning us a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund our site and future projects.
  • Behavioral Ads: Cookies may anonymously track your interests to show ads for vegan or eco-friendly products.

You can manage cookies via our [Cookie Consent Popup – add if implemented] or your browser settings. For opting out of personalized ads, visit Network Advertising Initiative or adjust Google settings. Note: Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
