This policy operates alongside our Terms & Conditions, Shipping Policy, and Refund Policy.

1. Information We Collect
Information you provide:
- Full name
- Billing and shipping address
- Email address and phone number

We do not collect full payment card numbers. Payments are handled by third-party processors, and card data is entered directly with them. Where identity or document verification is performed by a third-party age-verification provider, that data is handled by the provider under its own terms.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your data for the following purposes:
- Processing and fulfilling orders
- Verifying that you meet the minimum age of 21
- Sending order, shipping, and delivery updates
- Responding to support requests
- Improving website functionality and shopping experience
- Detecting and preventing fraud and unauthorized activity
- Sending marketing emails, only where you have opted in
- Meeting legal, tax, and regulatory obligations
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertising networks or use third-party advertising or retargeting pixels such as Meta Pixel or Google Ads. We share data only with providers who help us run the store, including:
- Payment processors
- Shipping and delivery carriers
- Age-verification service providers
- Fraud-prevention services
- Website hosting and analytics providers
- Marketing and email providers, where you have opted in
- Tax, accounting, and compliance service providers
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or to protect our rights, customers, or the safety of others.
4. Payment Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. Payments are processed through trusted third-party providers, and USABuyCarton does not store full card details on its servers.
5. Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed to:
- Complete transactions and fulfill orders
- Comply with legal, tax, and record-keeping obligations, including age-verification records
- Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, improve performance, analyze traffic, personalize your experience, and support security. We use these for site functionality and analytics only, not for third-party advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work properly without them.

USABuyCarton does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We will verify your identity before responding.
8. Marketing Communications
If you opt in, you may receive updates about TEREA sticks, Japanese sticks, devices, promotions, and blog content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any marketing email.
