Information Collected at www.fihpvaple.com
FIHP is committed to providing quality information about our company, our efforts to combat underage use, and regulatory and policy issues affecting our industry. On our website, we collect information that can personally identify you (e.g., name, address, and email) and information that is about you but does not identify you individually (e.g., information submitted through our Warranty program, such as a device Authenticity marker/code, or the number and frequency of visits to various pages of the website). The categories of information we collect can include the following:
-
We may collect personal information that you provide to us directly, such as your name and email address when you communicate with us (e.g., the “Contact Us” page). Our Warranty/Authenticator program collects only a device proprietary mark and an email address.

We may also send you service-related emails or messages (e.g., account verification, changes or updates to features of the Websites, technical and security notices).
