We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in a manner intended to constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under applicable law.
6. Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to:
- operate and secure the website and app;
- remember preferences;
- understand usage patterns;
- improve performance and user experience.
We may also use third-party analytics tools that collect technical and usage information.
7. Data Retention
We retain information based on the following general criteria:
- Account information (name, email, credentials): retained for the life of the account, plus up to seven (7) years following account closure for tax, audit, fraud prevention, and legal purposes.
- Transaction and redemption records: retained for at least seven (7) years to comply with tax, accounting, and audit obligations.

We may retain information longer where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
If your account is suspended or terminated, your transaction history is retained on our systems for the periods described above. Account deletion does not result in deletion of records we are legally required to retain.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and applicable authorities as required by law, including California Civil Code §1798.82.
9. Children's Privacy
VitaCredit services are intended only for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a person under 18, we will close the account and delete the information to the extent permitted by law, while retaining any records we are legally required to keep.
