Privacy & Discretion Policy
We collect only what we need to verify 18+ adult age, fulfil Australia Post Express orders, and support DOA warranty claims. Marketing is opt-in; parcel labels and billing descriptors remain neutral.
Who we are
VAPEAERO.SHOP operates as an Australian online retailer and wholesale distributor of 18+ adult disposable vaping products. For customer service and privacy enquiries (Monday–Friday), contact info@vapeaero.com (or compliance@vapeaero.shop).
Information we collect
- Account & checkout: name, delivery address (street address, PO Box, or AusPost Parcel Locker), email, phone (for AusPost locker SMS codes), order history, and payment tokens processed by our PCI-compliant gateway — we do not store full card numbers.
- 18+ Age attestation: browser session flag when you confirm you are 18+ on first visit; we may request photo ID for high-value or flagged orders.
- Support: messages, photos, or videos you send for 48-hour DOA, autofire, or Scratch-QR authenticity claims.
- Analytics: aggregated page views, device type, and referral source via standard web analytics with IP truncation where configured.
How we use your information
We use personal data to pick and pack orders, generate Australia Post Express labels, send tracking emails, prevent fraud, calculate Aero Circle rewards, and comply with Australian GST record-keeping. We do not sell your contact list to third-party marketers.
With your consent, we may send restock alerts, 10-Pack Wholesale offers, or Aero Circle tier updates. Every marketing email includes an instant unsubscribe link.
Discreet Plain Kraft Satchel fulfilment & descriptors
Outer parcels use unbranded brown inner cartons inside Plain Kraft Satchels without product branding or vape terminology on the exterior, as described in our packaging FAQ. Payment descriptors show a neutral corporate trade name rather than flavour or device marketing text.
Your choices & Australian privacy rights
You may request access to personal information we hold, correction of inaccurate details, or deletion where we have no legal obligation to retain records (for example tax invoices). Marketing opt-out is immediate via email footer links or by writing to compliance.
If you believe we have mishandled personal information under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) after giving us a chance to respond.
Security & retention
Checkout and account areas use TLS encryption. Order records are retained for the period required under Australian GST and consumer law, typically seven years for tax purposes, then archived or anonymised.
