Privacy Policy
Zero Vape is committed to protecting your personal information and your privacy.
This Privacy Policy tells you what data we collect and how we use the data you provide.
About Us
Zero Vape (referred to in this Privacy Policy as “we”, “us” or “our”) is the UK’s number one DIY e-liquid specialist. We are dedicated to protecting our customers’ privacy.
We want to keep you fully informed about how we gather and use your data, as well as how we store it. We are always respectful and considerate of your rights and privacy.
This Privacy Policy outlines all our policies and practices but, if you have any further questions, please get in touch using the contact details at the bottom of this document.
We will keep the information in our Privacy Policy up to date so you will always be aware of any changes. You can find all the up-to-date details here.
What We Collect
We collect the personal data we need from our customers in order to identify them. For example, their name, username, password and date of birth. We also collect their contact details such as an email address and telephone number which are needed to confirm orders.
In addition, we collect ‘Device Information’ from customers, including their web browser, IP address and time zone.
When a customer places an order with us, or attempts to place an order with us, we collect ‘Order Information’. This includes the customer’s name, billing address, shipping address and credit or debit card number, so that we can process the payment and dispatch the order. All of this information is stored securely.
Like all retailers, we place Cookies on your device to help us provide the best service possible. Cookies are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
How We Use Your Personal Information
Personal Information (such as the customer’s name, address and telephone number) is used for a number of reasons. The first and foremost is to fulfil the customer’s order and to contact them regarding their orders. This information also allows customers to create a Zero Vape account so they can check out faster and claim the benefits of membership. Finally, Personal Information is used in fraud prevention and detection.
Device Information (such as your IP address) helps us to optimise our website. By identifying trends, we can learn where we need to provide more information to our customers, make the website easier to navigate and give them a better experience. We also use the Device Information to screen for potential fraud.
Order Information (when a customer places or attempts to place an order) is primarily used to fulfil that order. The information gathered is used to take payment for the order and to give any necessary refunds. We do not store card information once a payment has been provided. Such information is shared with credit card providers, such as Worldpay, in order to fulfil the order securely. Finally, Order Information is used to detect and prevent credit card fraud.
Sharing your data
We share Personal Information (such as Personal Data, Device Information and Order Information) with third parties in order to fulfil orders and optimise our customers’ experience. We share this information with Shopify, Jilt, Mailmunch, Loyalty Lion, Worldpay, Royal Mail, 1Account and Google Analytics.
We only share our customers’ Personal Information with third parties to fulfil online purchases, improve our website and for our own direct marketing.

Keeping Your Data Up to Date

If you have an account with us, please ensure that you keep us up-to-date with your Personal Information. You can contact us via the contact details at the bottom of this document or log in to your account to change your details.

Customers can ask us to delete their Personal Information at any time using the contact information provided at the bottom of this document.
How Do We Protect Your Data?
We take our customers’ privacy seriously and ensure that their data is protected in a number of ways.
We do this by applying physical and electronic safeguards to all aspects of Personal Data, when collecting, storing or disclosing it and have procedures which reinforce these. We encrypt all information while it is being transmitted and use computer safeguards such as firewalls to keep our customers’ data safe. It is our policy to regularly monitor our systems to check for possible vulnerabilities and ensure our system, and our customers’ data, is secure.
How Do I Opt Out of Marketing Communications?
Our customers can unsubscribe from emails at any time by clicking the ‘Unsubscribe’ option at the bottom of any email.
As listed above, we use different third-party services to send marketing emails, account information and personalised shopping emails. Each of these is independent and customers must unsubscribe from them separately. This is to enable customers to receive only the emails they want (for example, a customer might wish to receive information about their account, such as how many reward points they have, but might not want to receive marketing emails highlighting our latest deals).
Do Not Track
Please note that we do not alter our site’s data collection practices when we get a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
Customers from Outside the UK
If a customer is based outside the UK, we will access their data within the UK and, therefore, internationally.
Data belonging to customers outside of the UK will be accessed and shared with third parties in the same way as data belonging to customers in the UK.

You do not need to verify your details again to place a future order, as long as you log in using the same details, and those details do not change.
