Privacy Policy
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Vibes From NYC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website or make a purchase from our store.
2. What Information We Collect
When you make a purchase, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.
If you subscribe to our newsletter or consent to receive marketing communications, we may send you emails about our store, new products, or special updates.
3. Consent
How do we get your consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction—such as placing an order, verifying your payment method, arranging a delivery, or requesting a return—you consent to our collection and use of that information for that specific purpose only.
If we ask for your information for additional purposes (like marketing), we will either ask you directly for express consent or give you the option to decline.
How do you withdraw consent?
You may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or use your information at any time by emailing us at VibesFromNYC@gmail.com.
4. Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
5. Shopify
Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform enabling us to sell our products and services.
Your data is stored securely on Shopify’s servers behind a firewall.
Payment Information:
If you use a direct payment gateway, your credit card data is encrypted and processed following the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your payment details are kept only as long as needed to complete your transaction.
To learn more, visit Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
6. Third-Party Services
We share your information only with third parties required to perform services on our behalf (for example, payment processors or shipping carriers).
Some providers may operate in different jurisdictions. If your information is sent to another country (for example, the United States), it may become subject to that country’s laws. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service providers involved in your transactions.
When you leave our store or click links redirecting to other websites, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.
7. Security
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure your personal information is not lost, misused, accessed, altered, or destroyed.
All credit card information is encrypted with SSL technology and AES-256 encryption. Although no online transmission is completely secure, we align with PCI-DSS standards and additional industry safeguards.

If we make significant updates, we will notify you so you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If our store merges or is acquired by another company, your information may be transferred to the new owner so we can continue providing services to you.
