Privacy Policy

At SHēgar Cigars and Accessories ("we," "our," or "us"), we respect your privacy and 
are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy 
Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit 
our online storefront or purchase from us at our pop-up retail events.

1. Age Restriction & Verification (18+) 
Our website and products are intended strictly for adults (18+ years of age)

● No Minor Data: We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from 
anyone under the age 18. If we discover that an individual under 18 has 
provided us with personal information, we will delete that data from our systems 
immediately. 

● Third-Party Verification: To comply with federal and state regulations for 
tobacco-adjacent industries, we use secure third-party age verification services 
to confirm your identity and age before processing online orders.

2. Information We Collect 
We collect information that you directly provide to us, as well as data automatically 
generated during your visit.

● Personal Identifiers: Name, shipping address, billing address, email address, 
phone number, and date of birth (for age verification). 
● Transaction Data: Details about the products you purchase, order totals, and 
purchase history from both online and pop-up locations. 
● Payment Information: Credit card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes. 
● Technical & Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and 
browsing behavior on our website collected via cookies and tracking pixels.

3. How Your Secure Payment Data is Handled 

We prioritize the security of your financial information.

● No Raw Storage: SHēgar Cigars and Accessories does not directly view or store 
your raw credit card numbers. 
● Encryption Standards: All payment transactions are encrypted using Secure 
Sockets Layer (SSL) software and processed through PCI-DSS compliant 
third-party payment gateways (such as Shopify Payments, Square POS, or 
Authorize.net).

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to fulfill your orders, communicate with you, and improve your 
shopping experience:

● Processing and shipping your cigar and accessories. 
● Verifying your age and legal identity. 
● Sending order confirmations, shipping updates, and customer support 
responses. 
● Sending promotional emails and text messages (only if you explicitly opt-in).

5. Sharing Your Data with Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing 
purposes. We only share data with trusted service providers to run our business:

● Shipping Carriers: UPS, FedEx, or USPS to deliver your orders. 
● Compliance Authorities: We reserve the right to disclose data if required by law, 
subpoena, or regulatory audit regarding age-restricted sales compliance.

6. Data Retention & Compliance Rights

● Your Rights: Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, 
correct, or request the deletion of your personal data ("Right to be Forgotten"). 
● Regulatory Retention: Please note that even if you request data deletion, we are 
legally required to retain basic transaction logs, purchase timestamps, and age 
verification records for a mandatory regulatory period to comply with audit laws.

7. Marketing Opt-Outs & Cookies

● Cookies: You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, but 
doing so may cause certain parts of our online store to function incorrectly (such 
as maintaining items in your shopping cart).
