Welcome to Geek Bar, your trusted online source for top-quality vaping products. We understand how important your privacy is, which is why we are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy describes how we gather, utilize, and safeguard your information when you visit www.geekbar.org  (the "Site").

SECTION 1 – WHY DO WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION?

We gather important personal information like your name, address, phone number, and email address when you make a purchase from our online store. To process your order, guarantee precise delivery, and offer a flawless shopping experience, this information is required.

We might also provide the opportunity to sign up for marketing updates via SMS and email. These updates keep you informed about our products, promotions, and store news, but only with your explicit consent. Anytime you want to, you can opt out.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

We respect openness and always get your permission before collecting and using your personal information. By sharing your information with us during a transaction or inquiry, you consent to its use for processing orders, verifying payments, arranging deliveries, or handling returns.

We will only use your information for marketing if you specifically consent to it. If you wish to withdraw your consent after opting in, you can contact us at support@geekbardirect.com to update your preferences.

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may divulge your personal information if mandated by law or if you breach our terms of service.

SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY

Shopify Inc., a reputable e-commerce platform, powers our store. Through its databases and apps, Shopify safely keeps your data while following stringent security guidelines.

If you use a direct payment gateway, your payment information is encrypted and managed in compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS). This guarantees that your data is processed securely and kept for the duration of your transaction.

For additional information, see Shopify's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We might use outside service providers to improve your online shopping experience. These companies only gather, utilize, and share your information when it is required to carry out their particular services.

Keep in mind that these providers may have privacy policies separate from ours. If your transaction is processed by a payment gateway or involves other third-party services, please review their policies to understand how your data will be handled.

Our Privacy Policy is nullified if you exit our website or are taken to a third-party platform.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

Our top priority is keeping your personal information safe. We implemented robust security measures to prevent data loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.
