We do not use Google or Facebook login data to run tobacco, e-cigarette, or vape advertising campaigns, and we do not sell this data.

We share it only with service providers who help us operate the platform (for example hosting and security), or when required by law. Retention follows Section 8 (Data Retention).

Moderating content and enforcing legal terms and community policies.
Diagnosing issues, preventing abuse, and ensuring service reliability.
Improving product design, usability, and system performance based on usage analysis.

5. Analytics, Recommendation, and Advertising Basis

To continuously improve user experience, we will introduce and use analytics technologies, including Google Analytics or equivalent analytics tools, to analyze how users interact with the platform.

Optimize information architecture and feature design.
Support intelligent content recommendation and ranking improvements.
Support more relevant advertising delivery and campaign effectiveness analysis.

Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice and consent controls for analytics and advertising-related processing.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed as absolutely secure.

12. Children’s Privacy and Minimum Age

Vaper Club is intended only for adults who are of legal vaping age in their jurisdiction, and in all cases at least 18 years old (or 21 years old where local law requires a higher age for nicotine or vaping-related content).

We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18, or under the higher legal age that applies to them. If we learn that we have collected personal data from someone below the applicable minimum age, we will delete that data and may terminate the account.

By creating an account or continuing past our age verification step, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement.

13. Third-Party Content and Links

The platform may contain third-party listings, articles, videos, advertisements, and external links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party services and recommend reviewing their policies separately.

14. Updates to This Policy
