What is the purpose of VapeChecks Website?
The purpose of using this website is to keep readers informed and to contribute to the debate and development of vaping, e-cigarettes, smoking and other nicotine products from a harm reduction perspective with a focus on the user. The site allows users to read, share and comment on information, interact or make their voice heard through digital services and social media.
By participating in and contributing to our website, you consent to us communicating with you via the communication method you provide, such as an email address. You may also contact us via the digital social media platforms we are on in connection with supporting this website.
What and how is personal information collected?
We collect data from you in a variety of ways depending on how you interact with us. We will occasionally use third-party software to analyse data and communicate with people who have expressed a desire to be contacted.
You can interact with us directly through our website or through another person, for example by filling out a paper or digital questionnaire in your local area. This data is then provided to us for the consultation.
We collect your personal data from the information you provide us in any form or correspondence. We may collect the following information about you: your name, email address or postcode. This is important because we want to make sure that the feedback we collect is verifiable and comes from real people. It also allows us, with your permission, to keep you informed and updated with developments around this project.
Information about your postcode is used to determine if you are eligible to sign our petition and helps us understand and map which neighbourhoods have responded and which have not. To that end, we may use third-party services like Maptive to display the data visually on a customised Google map. Maptive's privacy policy can be found here. Your name and email address will not be published.
The information we collect includes those instances where you "follow", "like" or otherwise link your social media accounts to a promotion via a third-party website. In addition, any correspondence you send may be retained and we will therefore retain and process the personal data contained in that correspondence. We may also retain any information that you upload or post on our website, which may include photos and personal comments, and therefore personal data.
We collect information about your visits to our website, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data and the resources you access. We may collect information about your computer, including where available: your IP address, operating system and browser type. This information is necessary for the website to function properly and allows us to improve the performance and functionality of the website.
It may also be used for system administration and to report and analyse aggregate information. This is statistical information about our users' browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Their privacy policy can be found here. By using Google Analytics or other services, these providers or we may record information from your device or browser when you interact with our websites, including location data, operating system and links you have clicked, including via email and social media. Our website uses Google Analytics for traffic analysis, which enables Google Analytics to collect data about our traffic via Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers, in addition to data collected via a standard implementation of Google Analytics.

How is data stored?
Your personal data will be treated confidentially. The development team has access to the data, which is password protected.

Storage of data
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. We review annually what we retain and always consider whether we still need the personal data, taking into account whether it is sensitive, whether there is a risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, and what the purpose of the processing is.
In certain circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you as we will no longer be able to identify you in the processing.
