Welcome to Africa Vape Wholesale (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our business partners, wholesalers, and distributors across the African continent.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (www.africavapewholesale.com) and utilize our sourcing services in Shenzhen, China. This policy complies with major African data protection frameworks, including but not limited to the South African Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and the Kenya Data Protection Act.
1. STRICT AGE RESTRICTION (18+ ONLY)
Our website and services are strictly intended for corporate entities and adult individuals who are at least 18 years of age (or the legal smoking age for commercial trade in your respective country).
- We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.
- If we discover that an individual under 18 has provided us with personal data, we will immediately delete it from our servers.
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
As a B2B wholesale platform, the information we collect is primarily focused on corporate sourcing and commercial identity. We collect information in the following ways:
A. Information Provided Voluntarily by You
- Identity & Business Data: Name, business/company name, and country of operation.
- Contact Data: WhatsApp phone number (essential for B2B communications) and email address.
- Inquiry & Sourcing Data: Product preferences (Vape Systems, HNB Systems), requested puff counts, estimated monthly order volumes, and specific brand requirements submitted via our native sourcing forms.
B. Information Collected Automatically
- Device and Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and data tracing to prevent malicious automated spamming (via our secure honey-pot anti-bot infrastructure).
- Cookies & Local Storage: We use cookies, LocalStorage, and similar tracking technologies to store your age verification status so you do not have to verify your age upon every page refresh across our domain.
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the collected data solely to secure your supply chain and provide direct factory matching in Shenzhen:
- To process your sourcing requests and match you with licensed source factories.
- To communicate direct pricing, inspection reports, and shipping updates via WhatsApp or Email.
- To facilitate export documentation, customs clearances, and connection with specialized vape freight forwarders.
- To maintain website security and block malicious spam bots.
🔴 Our Anti-Leakage Guarantee: We operate on a 100% transparent flat-fee procurement model. We do not sell, rent, or trade your commercial inquiries or contact lists to third-party marketing brokers. Your business secrets and contact lines are completely secure with us.
4. CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS
By submitting your sourcing inquiry, you acknowledge and agree that your information will be transferred from your country of origin within Africa to our operations office and data centers located in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China (the global vape manufacturing hub).
- We implement international-standard technical and organizational security measures to ensure your data receives the same level of protection as required under African data protection laws (such as POPIA and NDPR).
5. DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY
- Retention: We retain your business sourcing data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the commercial purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with necessary export/import legal requirements.
- Security: We protect your data using industry-standard firewalls, end-to-end communication encryption for WhatsApp routing, and secured local storage systems to prevent unauthorized access or data leakage.
6. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
Depending on your country of residence within Africa (e.g., South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt), you possess specific statutory rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of the personal data we hold about your business.
- Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete wholesale profile information.
- Right to Erasure (The Right to be Forgotten): You can request that we delete your business contact information and sourcing history from our active databases at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our data privacy officer directly via our official WhatsApp line.
