Rights and Disclosures for Virginia Residents

YOUR RIGHTS

Our goal is to serve you. We know you want to control your data and you have the right to do so.

Here is a list of the rights you have as a resident of Virginia:

  • You can ask whether or not we are processing your personal data and ask for a copy of your data or info about what we collect, why and who we share it with
  • You can ask us to correct your data or to delete some of it
  • You can ask us to transfer data you gave us to other companies
  • You can ask to opt-out of the processing of your personal data pertaining to targeted advertising; the sale of personal data; profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you (see below for more information on your right to opt-out)

RIGHT TO OPT OUT

If you are a Virginia resident, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information to “third parties.” Sale can be defined as an exchange of personal information to a "third party" for any "other valuable consideration."

We do not transfer your information to third parties in exchange for money or any type of consideration and we will not do so. However, we do transfer personal information to certain third parties in order to operate our business (for example, to email you our newsletter). We want to be careful with and respectful of your information. Therefore, if you opt out, we will not transfer your information to any “third party” except as explained below and allowed by law.

If you opt out of the “sale” of data, we will not be able to send data to some of our business partners. That may mean that, after you opt out, you may not receive all of the marketing and other information you are accustomed to receiving. It is also possible that some features of our web site or other services that are run or managed by a third party may not work for you after you opt out.

In addition, if you opt-out, we may alert you if a transaction requires a transfer to a third party so that you can opt in if you would like to continue with the transaction

You must be at least 21 years of age to use this site. We do not "sell", store or even look at the data of people under 21, and do not intend to collect data related to people who are under 21.

We are allowed to transfer data to a "processor" even if you opt out. The law does not consider that kind of transfer to be a "sale." A processor is a business that agrees not to use your information for any purpose other than providing the services specified in our contract. For example, we transfer data to business partners to provide data security and detect fraud. Those businesses are "processors." Even if you opt out, we will continue to transfer data to our processors.

We are also allowed to transfer your data to a third party where you direct the transfer or direct us to interact with the third party. In this instance, if you direct us to use a specific payment method to pay for your order, even if you have opted out, we will still transfer the data necessary to process your order.

Opting out of the “sale” of your data does not prevent us from continuing to collect and process your personal information for company purposes.

Some data may be anonymized. The “opt out” only applies to “personal information.” This is information that is or is capable of being linked to you.

Please note that there are technical limits to our ability to identify data related to you and, if you opt out, to prevent the “sale” of that information to other parties. Where we can reasonably determine that information relates to you and you have opted out, we will not “sell” it to “third parties” (except as allowed by the law). However, we may not be able to determine that information relates to you. In that case, the information may be “sold” to a third party.

Opting out of the “sale” of personal information will not prevent you from receiving marketing messages and communications from us. If you wish to unsubscribe from our emails, please follow the unsubscribe link in one of our emails. If you wish to unsubscribe from text messages, please follow the unsubscribe process for the text. Responding to any of our text marketing messages with the word "unsubscribe" will stop the marketing.

HOW TO MAKE A REQUEST

If you would like to opt out of the “sale” of your data, you may email us at hi@cigarswest.com. You will not be required to create an account in order to opt out.

If you want to opt out an email address that is different from the email on your account, you will need to provide us with the email address you wish to opt out of. If you want multiple email addresses opted out, you must provide each address to us. This is because we have no reasonable way to use a single address you give us to link to other addresses you may have. We will take the necessary steps to verify your identity before responding. This is to protect your information.

If you email us we will have no way of setting a cookie on your device. This will limit our ability to prevent the “sale” of data.
