Vape Community (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website at vapeguide.org (the “Site”), an independent editorial publication and business directory for the vaping community. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
The information we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us and a limited amount of technical data needed to run the Site. When you complete one of our forms — the contact form, the business listing request, or the publishing request — we collect the details you enter, which may include your name, email address, business or brand name, website, location, and any message or listing details you provide. We do not ask for and do not want payment card numbers, government identification, or other sensitive personal data through our forms.
We also collect standard, non-identifying usage data such as which articles and listings are viewed, which outbound links are clicked, and general traffic sources. This helps us understand what content and businesses the community finds useful.
How we use your information
We use form submissions to respond to you by email, to review business listing and publishing requests, and to consider content for the Site. Our forms deliver submissions to our editorial inbox at info@angularchicago.com and store a copy in our website’s secure entry log so we can follow up. We use aggregated usage data to improve our articles, directory, and overall experience. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with unrelated third parties for their own marketing.
Cookies and analytics
The Site uses first-party analytics to count article and listing views, link clicks, and form interactions. Some features may set cookies that are necessary for the Site to function or that remember your age-verification choice. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.
How long we keep information
We keep form submissions for as long as needed to respond to your request and to maintain our editorial and directory records, after which they may be anonymized or removed. You can ask us to update or delete your information at any time.
Your choices and rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted to us. To make a request, email us at info@angularchicago.com and we will respond within a reasonable time. Because we communicate entirely by email and web forms, please include enough detail for us to locate your submission.
Age of users
The Site is intended only for adults aged 21 and older. It is not directed to anyone under 21, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 21. If you believe someone under 21 has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information submitted to us. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.
Contact us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, email us at info@angularchicago.com. All communication with Vape Community is handled by email.
