INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
The information we collect is to assist us in personalizing and improving your Castro's experience. The goal is to provide you with an efficient, meaningful and customized experience on the Website and communication services.
One of our goals in collecting personal information from you is to provide an efficient, meaningful, and customized experience. Here are some of the general categories of information we gather:
Information Provided To Castro's: We receive and store information you enter on our website directly, or give us in any other way through direct communication. Examples include, but are not limited to, information when you search, browse, buy, post reviews, participate in a sweepstakes or communicate with customer service. We use the information that you provide for purposes such as responding to your requests, processing your order, customizing your shopping experiences, responding to you or sending you marketing and advertising communications.
If we encounter a problem when processing or fulfilling the order, your personal information may be used to contact you. Please note that before accessing certain parts of CastrosCigarBar.com or completing an order, you may be required to create an account with us, through which you must provide certain personal information.
Some information may be received and stored automatically when you interact with Castro's. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies" or other unique identifiers and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses CastrosCigarBar.com or other content served by, or on behalf of, CastrosCigarBar.com on other websites. This can include, but are not limited to, log files, internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the internet and internet browser type.
When you access, visit or interact with our Website, or other technologies operated by Castro's, including social media channels, we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as shipping estimates, search results nand other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services.
To help us make emails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open email from CastrosCigarBar.com, if your device supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive email from us, unrelated to transactions and/or your account, please adjust your email subscription settings or contact our customer service team.
There are instances where Castro's will receive information about you from our partners or other sources and add this to your account. Examples include, but are not limited to, updated delivery and address information from our carriers and information from credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud and age verification which is required by law.

We value and protect the information that is shared with us, privacy is an important part of our business. We ARE NOT in the business of selling, renting or trading it to others. We share customer information only as described in this Privacy Notice and with entities within the Castro's network.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.

They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
As we continue to develop our business, we might buy additional locations, companies or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy notice (unless the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Castro's, and all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
We release account and other personal information only to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of CastrosCigarBar.com, our customers or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. However, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
Other than as set out above, we may seek your consent for us to share your information with additional third parties, and you will have the opportunity in your discretion to choose not to share your information.

We protect the security of your information by utilizing the latest encryption methods during the transmission or storage of information you input through our websites and mobile applications.
