above. Such information may include a debit card number,
credit card number, and similar information (collectively, the

In addition to the Personal Information and the Billing
Information noted above that you voluntarily provide to us, we
may collect additional information (collectively, the “Other

time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections
of the Website you visit, order information, and similar
information concerning your use of the Services.
From Cookies. Information that we collect using “cookie”
technology. Cookies are small packets of data that a website
stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer
will “remember” information about your visit. We use cookies
to help us collect Other Information and to enhance your
experience using the Services. If you do not want the Platform
to place a cookie on your hard drive or mobile device, you may
be able to turn that feature off on your computer or mobile
device. Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation
for information on how to do this. However, if you decide not
to accept cookies from us, the Services may not function
properly.
From You. Additional information about yourself that you
voluntarily provide to us, such as your hobbies, personal
interests, household income range, number of children, gender,
demographic information, and product and service preferences.
From Other Sources. Information that we collect or receive
from other sources.
THE INFORMATION COLLECTED BY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY
ADVERTISING COMPANIES
We may share Other Information about your activity on the
Platform with third parties for the purpose of tailoring,
analyzing, managing, reporting, and optimizing advertising you
see on the Platform and elsewhere. These third parties may use
cookies, pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear gifs),
and/or other technologies to collect such Other Information
for such purposes. Pixel tags enable us, and these third-party
advertisers, to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser
visits the site on which the pixel tag is located in order to
learn which advertisement brings a user to a given site.

HOW WE USE AND SHARE THE INFORMATION
We use the Personal Information, the Billing Information, and
the Other Information to process transactions; provide you the
Services; solicit your feedback; inform you about our

administer and process contests, promotions, and sweepstakes;

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions
on our behalf. Examples include food services, delivery
services, marketing assistance, information technology
support, and customer service. These other companies will have
access to the Personal Information, the Billing Information,
and the Other Information only as necessary to perform their
functions and to the extent permitted by law.
We provide advertising space to other companies to market and
promote their sale of goods and services. Some third parties
may require access to the Personal Information, the Billing
Information and the Other Information in order to fulfill a
product or service provided in the Membership. These companies
will have access to the Personal Information, the Billing
Information, and the Other Information only as necessary to
accept and fulfill your order and to the extent permitted by
law.
In order to administer our contests, promotions, and
sweepstakes, we may share your Personal Information and Other
Information with our third-party promotional and marketing
partners.
In an ongoing effort to better understand our users and our
Services, we might analyze the Other Information in aggregate
form in order to operate, maintain, manage, and improve the
Services. This aggregate information does not identify you
personally. We may share this aggregate data with our
affiliates, agents, and business partners. We may also
disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our
products and Services to current and prospective business
partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or
assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger,
reorganization, dissolution, or similar event, the Personal
Information, the Billing Information, and the Other
Information may be part of the transferred assets.
To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose Personal
Information, the Billing Information, and the Other
Information when required by law, court order, or other
government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency,
or whenever we believe that disclosing the such Information is
necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights,
property, or safety of Virtuous Vices or others.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Personal
Information, the Billing Information, and the Other
Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand,
however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot
guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee
that the information you supply will not be intercepted while
being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. In
particular, e-mail sent to or from the Platform may not be
secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding
what information you send to us via e-mail.
