At Vitanery, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and make purchases of our natural supplement products.
How We Collect Data During Purchases of Natural Supplements
Information You Provide Directly
When you make a purchase from Vitanery, we collect various types of personal information that you voluntarily provide. This includes your name, email address, postal address, and telephone number. We gather this information primarily through our order forms and checkout process to process your transactions and deliver your natural supplement products to you.
Payment information is handled securely through our payment processing partners. We do not store complete credit card numbers on our servers. Instead, we retain only the necessary payment details required to process refunds and manage your account. Your financial data is encrypted and protected according to industry standards.
When you contact us via email, phone, or through our contact forms, we collect the information you provide in your communications. This helps us respond to your inquiries about our supplements, process your requests, and maintain a record of our interactions with you.

As you navigate through our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device and browsing behavior. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, and the links you click. This data is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your user experience and improve our website functionality.
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our site. This information helps us optimize the presentation of our natural supplement products, improve our website performance, and identify areas where we can provide better service to our customers.
Location data may be collected based on your IP address to provide localized content and shipping estimates. This information helps us determine which products are available in your region and provide accurate delivery timeframes for UK and international customers.

Secure Handling for UK Users
Data Security Measures
Vitanery implements comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use industry-standard encryption technology (SSL/TLS) to secure data transmitted between your browser and our servers. All sensitive information, including payment details and personal data, is encrypted during transmission.
Our servers are protected by firewalls and intrusion detection systems. We maintain regular security audits and updates to ensure our systems remain secure against emerging threats. Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who need the information to perform their job functions.
We store your data on secure servers located in the United Kingdom and European Union data centers that comply with GDPR and UK data protection regulations. Regular backups are performed to prevent data loss, and we maintain disaster recovery procedures to ensure business continuity.
