1. Who We Are

2F Cigars (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit or purchase from our website.

2. Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymised string created from your email address (called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use a Gravatar. For details, see the Gravatar Privacy Policy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may extract this data.

Contact Forms (Ninja Forms)

When you submit inquiries through our contact forms, we collect your name, email, phone number, and message to respond to your requests. This data is stored securely and only used for communication purposes. We retain this data as long as necessary to address your inquiry.

Age Verification

To comply with federal and state tobacco regulations, we use an age verification system that collects your birthdate and IP address to confirm you are legally allowed to purchase tobacco products. This information is only used for compliance purposes and is not shared or used for marketing.

Payments on 2F Cigars are processed securely via Authorize.net, a PCI DSS-compliant payment gateway. We do not store your credit card or payment details on our servers. For more information on Authorize.net’s privacy practices, please visit their Privacy Policy.
