Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 24, 2026

Not legal advice. This is a general template provided for convenience and has not been reviewed by a lawyer for LCVend's own repository and data model. Have a lawyer review it before treating it as final.

This Privacy Policy explains how LCVend ("LCVend," "we," "us," or "our"), a business based in Charleston, SC, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website or interact with our vending machine placement services ("Services").

1. Information we collect

Information you provide. When you contact us through our website, email, or phone regarding placing a machine at your business, we may collect your name, business name, email address, and any other details you choose to share with us.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our site, such as your browser type, device type, IP address, and pages viewed, typically through standard analytics tools.

Admin sign-in. This site also has a password- protected admin area used only by LCVend's own staff to read contact-form messages. Signing in sets a session cookie needed to keep you signed in — it isn't used for visitor tracking.

2. How we use your information

  • To respond to inquiries about hosting a vending machine at your location.
  • To schedule site assessments, installations, and ongoing service visits.
  • To communicate with you about your machine, including restocking and maintenance.
  • To improve our website and understand how visitors use it.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences and understand site usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate our business, such as payment processors for cashless transactions on our machines and website hosting or analytics providers.
  • Legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law or to protect our rights.
  • A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets.

5. Payment information

Purchases made at an LCVend machine are processed through third-party payment processors. LCVend does not store your full payment card details; those are handled directly by our payment processing partners under their own privacy and security practices.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining our business relationship with Hosts, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain uses. To make a request, contact us using the information below and we will respond consistent with applicable law.

8. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's privacy

Our website and Services are directed at businesses and are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
