Privacy Policy
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
This Privacy Policy explains how [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and shares personal information through the Double BB website at https://www.doublebbcigars.com (the “Site”).
1. Who this Site is for
The Site is intended only for adults of legal smoking age (21 or older in the U.S.). We ask every visitor to confirm their age before entering. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If you believe someone under 21 has given us information, contact us (Section 11) and we will delete it.
2. We do not sell products on this Site
The Site does not sell cigars or take payments. We do not collect payment card or billing information.
3. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Email signup (“Find Double BB”): your email address and your consent choice.
- Contact form: your name, email address, the type of enquiry, your message, and your consent choices.
Information collected automatically
- Age confirmation: when you confirm you are 21 or older, we store that answer in a cookie on your device for 30 days so we do not ask again on every visit. It does not identify you.
- Site analytics: our website platform, Wix.com, records how the Site is used, for example pages viewed, visit sessions, how you arrived at the Site (traffic source), device and browser type, approximate location derived from your IP address, and interactions such as opening a cigar’s details, using the 3D viewer, opening the gallery or submitting a form. We use this in aggregate to understand and improve the Site.
- Technical and security data: IP address, browser and device information, and cookies needed to run, secure and protect the Site.
We do not ask for sensitive information. Please do not include it in your messages.
4. How we use information
- To send you emails about where to find Double BB and occasional Double BB news, only if you opted in.
- To reply to your contact-form message, including buying and trade enquiries.
- To remember your age confirmation.
- To understand how the Site is used and improve it.
- To keep the Site secure, prevent spam and abuse, and comply with the law.
5. Email communications and unsubscribing
We send marketing emails only to people who opted in. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also ask us to stop at any time (Section 11). Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop us replying to a message you sent us.
