This site does not sell tobacco or nicotine online. We do not run a shopping cart or payment page. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising.
Visit counts (only if you tap Accept)
If you accept on our cookie notice, each page you open sends us an anonymous visit count: the page address, the website that linked you here (if any), whether you are on a phone or a computer, and your approximate location (city, state and country). That location is looked up from your IP address at the moment of the visit, using a location database kept on our own web host, so no outside service is contacted. Only the city, state and country are kept; we do not store your IP address. To count unique visitors per day we keep a scrambled one-way code made from your connection and browser details plus a secret that changes the result every day, so it cannot be traced back to you or followed from one day to the next. These counts stay on our own web host. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels or tracking cookies from other companies. If you tap Decline, nothing is counted.

Cookies and storage on your device
We keep a few small settings in your own browser: your 21+ age-gate answer, your cookie choice (ee_consent, one year), and, if you log in to VIP, your login session. If you join VIP, we also keep a random device code (ee_vip_device) so we can spot duplicate VIP accounts. These are needed to run the site and are never used for ads.
VIP accounts
If you join Exotic Empire VIP, the name, email, password, birthday and optional phone number you enter are stored with our account provider, Supabase, which runs the VIP login. Your password is stored in encrypted (hashed) form; we cannot see it. We use your birthday for your birthday perk and your phone only if the shop needs to reach you. We do not send text marketing. If you tick “Email me VIP news & deals”, we may email you VIP offers from [email protected]; every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can switch it off on My VIP at any time. When you show your VIP card at the counter, staff may record the date of your visit and when a birthday perk is used. We never store photos or numbers from your ID. To keep it to one VIP account per person, we check new sign-ups against existing members, and we keep a scrambled one-way code made from your internet connection and that device code (not your IP address itself).
Contact form
Messages you send with the contact form are emailed to the shop at [email protected] and kept in the shop’s private staff inbox (stored with Supabase) so we can answer you. Only shop staff can read them, and the owner can delete them.
Spam protection
The contact form and VIP sign-in forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to block bots. Cloudflare checks your browser to confirm you are a person; its Turnstile privacy notice applies to that check.
Other services
Embedded Google Maps and Google review links are Google's services. Their privacy rules apply when you open them.
Phone numbers and texts
Florida telephone solicitation law and the federal TCPA: we will not text or autodial you for ads just because you typed a phone number on a form.
Questions or deletion requests
To ask about your information, or to have your VIP account deleted, email [email protected] or call the shop at (772) 320-7631.
