Privacy Policy

Vegan Stops ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, submit a request, purchase in person, or interact with our services. Website checkout is currently unavailable.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

When you make a purchase in person or submit a form on our website, we may collect:

• Name and contact information (email, phone number)
• Delivery or pickup address
• Payment information for a future approved checkout (processed by the provider shown at that time)
• Order history and preferences

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

• IP address and device information
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Referring website or source
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and fulfill your orders
• Communicate with you about your orders, delivery status, and customer service inquiries
• Send promotional emails and marketing communications (with your consent)
• Improve our website, products, and services
• Prevent fraud and enhance security
• Comply with legal obligations

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information with:

Service Providers

• Future Online Ordering & Payments: the approved provider shown only after website checkout is verified and enabled
• Email: Resend (for transactional emails and owner notifications, including VIP/newsletter signup details); signup records are also stored in our website database
• Website Analytics: Google Analytics (for public-page traffic and interaction measurement; Google advertising signals and ad personalization are disabled)
• Form Security: Cloudflare Turnstile (to distinguish legitimate form submissions from automated abuse)
• Hosting & Infrastructure: Vercel, Supabase (for website hosting and database)

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Remember your preferences
• Analyze website traffic and usage patterns
• Support core website functionality

We use Google Analytics on public pages to understand visits and interactions. Analytics collection is disabled on admin, login, staging-login, and private meal-prep status pages, and we do not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, or order notes to Google Analytics. Our implementation disables Google advertising signals and ad personalization and respects Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track browser signals.

Public forms may use Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent automated abuse. Turnstile may process security and device signals, including an IP address, to verify a submission. We do not send the customer-entered contents of a form to website analytics as part of this verification.

If a meal-prep submission is interrupted, we temporarily keep that unfinished form and a random retry identifier in your browser's session storage. This prevents an accidental duplicate preorder when you retry. The saved draft is removed after a confirmed submission and expires after seven days at the latest.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies or serve personalized ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings. For more information, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including:

• SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission
• Secure payment processing through approved third-party payment processors
• Data protection measures and monitoring
• Access controls and authentication

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time
• Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format
