By visiting www.vitabuy.ca from a mobile device, tablet or desktop computer, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
Vitabuy.ca (and our service providers, as described below) may collect and use your personal information for the following purposes
You can visit and browse www.Vitabuy.ca without entering any of your private or personal information. However, if you do make a purchase from our e-commerce store, we will ask to obtain the personal information that’s required to fulfill your order, to communicate with you about your order and to provide our customer care team with your contact information to provide you with any necessary updates.
In order for us to provide you with a seamless shopping experience and access to our promotional offers and features, we will ask to collect specific personal information from you. For example, we may collect your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter, or email programs, or if you use our features to create wish-lists, write product reviews, enter a contest or product giveaway, complete a survey, or “Like” us on Facebook.
The information collected depends entirely on the purpose. For example, if a purchase is made with a credit card, we will collect your name, phone number, email address, billing and shipping addresses, zip or postal code and credit card information to complete and fulfill your order, however, your credit card information will not be stored on file for future use.
To improve your shopping experience, Site use and marketing efficiency, we’ll collect your purchase history, personal preference information (such as specific brands, products, flavours, size, quantity, etc.) and any demographic information that you provide to us (such as age, income range or gender). This information may also be used to analyze our Site use and improve our marketing efforts.
Your personal information may be collected and/or displayed with user-generated content on our Site, such as product reviews, ratings and wish-lists.
Like most websites, we automatically collect and store information about your visit to www.Vitabuy.ca, which includes the pages and materials you view, the searches and purchases you make, links you click and other actions you take on our site.
We also collect standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, your geographic location, your browser type and capabilities, your operating system, the date and time you access our Site, session information (such as page response times) and the website that linked you to our Site. Aggregate Information
On occasion, we may collect non-personal information for statistical purposes about the use of our Site, such as how many visitors have visited a specific web page, the duration of their stay and which links they click on.
This information is intended to help us determine which areas of our Site are most popular, so we can make appropriate improvements to enhance your visit. We may also group and de-personalize information into aggregate visitor date in order to describe our Site usage.
The information we collect gives us an accurate overview of our user database, as well as our users’ collective viewing, search and shopping habits. This allows us, our vendors and our business partners to personalize the content and discounts displayed based on user traffic, while further supporting and enhancing your shopping experience.
The information collected on our Site may be combined with other personal or aggregate information, including information we collect by other means (such as phone or email). All collective information is subject to this Privacy Policy.
On our Site and in our emails and advertisements, we use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies.
Cookies are small data files that your internet browser stores on your hard disk or in your browser’s memory, which allows us to remember you and the details about your visit to our Site. Cookies enable you to select and place products in our shopping cart and allow you to complete a purchase on our Site. Cookies also make it easier for you to navigate our Site by storing an encrypted link to your account information. This is intended to enhance your shopping experience so that you aren’t required to enter your personal information or preferences more than once.
Web beacons, which are sometimes referred to as single-pixel gifs or action tags, are electronic images that assist in delivering cookies and provide additional information (such as which ad you clicked on that redirected you to our Site). We use these technologies to store specific technical information to help us understand user interaction with our Site, monitor and analyze Site use, understand shopping patterns, avoid ad duplication and measure our marketing and advertising efforts.
We don’t store your personal information in a cookie. When you leave our Site, we terminate our interaction with the cookie, which instead stores the information on your own personal computer or mobile device. You have the option of deleting the data that web beacons add to the cookie by following the directions provided in your internet browser’s “help” file.
In doing so, you will be required to log in again and re-enter your preferences the next time you visit our site. Most Internet browsers are initially set to automatically accept cookies, but you can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being delivered.
If you choose to decline cookies, you may not unable to access or use some portions and features of our Site, which may not result in the best shopping experience possible.
You may occasionally get cookies from our business partners (including advertisers, tracking utilities, and partner programs on our Site, such as the Google Trusted Stores program) or other third parties with links on our Site. While this is a standard practice in the online retail industry, Vitabuy.ca has no control or access to these cookies and our Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies, web beacons or other technologies by third parties.
When you “subscribe to email” you can choose to opt-in to receiving promotional emails from us. Similar to most e-commerce sites, we include software code in our emails to monitor whether or not you opened the email, whether you’ve clicked on the images or links in the email and whether your computer or mobile device is capable of receiving HTML-based email. You may opt out from email and mobile programs, as described below under “Opting Out”.
Aside from what has been described in this Privacy Policy, your personal information will not be stored or shared with third parties without your consent, unless where otherwise permitted or required by law.
The method of consent will be appropriate for the type of personal information involved, and the purposes for which it is collected, used or disclosed. Depending on the circumstances, consent may be implied or expressed (for example, if you agree either verbally, in writing or electronically).
We contract with other companies to provide services on our behalf, such as shipping and fulfilling orders, processing payments, hosting on our website and product review pages. We also partner with third parties to send out information or promotional offers, tailor our site and email content, provide customer service, analyze Site data and serve or manage ads.
Some of these companies collect and store information on our behalf as part of their services. We may also provide them with elements of your personal information that they require to deliver their services efficiently. These companies are prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose.
We may share aggregated, non-personal data with service providers, advertisers or other existing and/or potential business partners to allow our users to receive targeted information, such as product recommendations and promotional offers, and to optimize third-party offers of products and services.
We may share personal and aggregate information collected on our Site with our affiliates. Information collected on our Site may be combined with the information collected on the websites of our affiliated companies. When your personal information is shared within our family of companies, it will still be used and protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your personal and aggregated user information as necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders and/or requests from law enforcement officials or government investigations to comply with our legal obligations and protect our legal rights and those of others. We may also disclose your personal information to enforce our Terms of Use or other policies and agreements, to resolve disputes and to protect ourselves and others (for example, to reduce the risk of fraudulent activity or the use of our Site for illegal purposes).
On occasion, we may partner with companies that, in conjunction with trusted store or similar programs, subscription services, rewards programs or other membership programs, require that we disclose personal information or purchasing information about their members who visit our Site (for example, to obtain purchase protection or to earn points or discounts for purchases made on our Site through links from the partner site).
We will disclose your personal information to the partner companies only when you consent to that disclosure, including consent implied by your agreement to the applicable membership or participation rules as necessary to support your membership in these programs.
We may publicly disclose personal information, such as the name, city and state or province of contest or sweepstakes winners.
We may decide to buy, sell or merge our own or other businesses. Such a transaction may involve disclosing personal and other information to prospective or confirmed buyers, or receiving it from sellers. It is our practice to seek appropriate protection for your information in these transactions.
In the event that we or all of our assets are acquired in such a transaction, customer information would be one of the transferred assets.
