Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use our contact form or send us an advertising request, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address, business name and message.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may collect basic technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the page that referred you and the time of your visit.
Age confirmation
When you confirm that you are 21 or older, we save a small note in your browser’s local storage so we do not ask you again. This note stays on your device and is not sent to us.
Cookies and similar tools
We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, understand how visitors use it and measure the results of sponsored content. We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics, which set their own cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work as well if you do.

How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only with:

- A new owner if VapeDecoded is sold or merged with another business.
If you contact us about advertising, we may share your business details with our team to prepare a proposal.
Third party links and listings
The Site links to shops, brands and other websites that we do not control. Their privacy practices are their own. Please read their privacy policies before sharing information with them.
How long we keep information
We keep contact messages for as long as needed to respond and for our records, and then delete them. Analytics data is kept according to the settings of our analytics provider.

The Site is only for adults aged 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, including secure HTTPS connections. No website is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
