Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to Velvetfield ("us", "we", or "our"), the company behind velvetfield.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, protect, and share information when you use our Service. We need your data to keep things running and to make improvements. By using the Service, you're agreeing to how we handle your information under this policy. Terms used here have the same meaning as in our Terms and Conditions. Our Terms govern everything you do on the Service, and together with this policy, they make up the full agreement between us.
2. Definitions
SERVICE refers to the velvetfield.com website run by Velvetfield. PERSONAL DATA is information about a real person that can be used to identify them—either directly or combined with other data we have or might get. USAGE DATA gets created automatically when you use the Service or when the Service itself generates it (like how long you stay on a page). COOKIES are small files that sit on your device. DATA CONTROLLER is whoever decides what personal data gets processed and how—that's us for your information. DATA PROCESSORS (OR SERVICE PROVIDERS) are people or organizations that handle data on behalf of the controller. We work with various service providers to process your data more efficiently. DATA SUBJECT is any living person whose information we hold. THE USER is you—the person using the Service. You're the data subject here.
3. Information Collection and Use
We collect different types of information to run and improve the Service for you.
4. Types of Data Collected
Personal Data. When you use our Service, we might ask for information that identifies you ("Personal Data"). This includes email, first and last name, phone number, address, country, state, province, postal code, and city. We use your personal data to send newsletters, marketing materials, and other things you might find useful. You can unsubscribe from these anytime using the link we provide. Usage Data. Your browser sends us information whenever you visit the Service ("Usage Data"). This includes your IP address, browser type and version, which pages you visit, when you visit, how long you stay, device identifiers, and other diagnostic data. If you access the Service from a device, we also collect the device type, unique device ID, operating system, browser type, and related diagnostic information. Tracking Cookies Data. We use cookies and similar tracking tech to monitor activity on our Service. Cookies are small files with data—often an anonymous unique identifier—that get sent from our website to your browser and stored on your device. We also use beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information, which helps us improve the Service. You can tell your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when one arrives. Keep in mind that blocking cookies might prevent you from using some parts of the Service. Session Cookies run our Service. Preference Cookies save your settings and choices. Security Cookies protect your account. Advertising Cookies show you ads that might interest you. Other Data. We may also collect gender, age, date of birth, birthplace, passport details, citizenship, residence registration, phone numbers (work and mobile), education and qualification details, professional training records, employment agreements, non-disclosure agreements, bonus and compensation information, marital status, family member names, social security or tax ID numbers, office location, and similar information.
5. Use of Data
We use collected data for several reasons: to keep the Service running, to tell you about changes, to let you use interactive features, to provide support, to improve and analyze the Service, to track usage, to catch and fix technical problems, to meet the purpose you gave it for, and to fulfill contracts with you—including billing. We also send account notices, subscription updates, renewal reminders, and instructions. You'll get news about special offers and similar products or services unless you've opted out. We use data however you ask us to when you provide it, and for anything else you consent to.
6. Retention of Data
We keep your personal data only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy. If we're legally required to hold it, or if we need it to resolve disputes and enforce agreements, we'll keep it. Usage data generally stays shorter, except when it helps us secure or improve the Service, or when the law says we have to hold onto it.
7. Transfer of Data
Your information, including personal data, may move to computers outside your state, province, country, or jurisdiction where privacy laws might be different. If you're outside Canada and share information with us, we transfer it to Canada and process it there. By accepting this policy and submitting your information, you agree to that. We take reasonable steps to keep your data secure and follow this policy. We won't transfer your personal data to any organization or country without proper safeguards in place.
8. Disclosure of Data
We may share personal information we collect or you provide in these cases: If the law requires it or if public authorities ask for it. If we or our subsidiaries go through a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may transfer. We may also disclose information to subsidiaries and affiliates, contractors, service providers, and third parties that support our business. We share it to fulfill what you asked for, to display your company logo on our website, for any purpose we told you about when you provided it, with your consent in other situations, or if we think it's necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the company, our customers, or others.
9. Security of Data
Your data's security matters to us. That said, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure. We use industry-standard protections, but we can't guarantee absolute security.
10. Your Data Protection Rights Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
If you live in the European Union or European Economic Area, GDPR gives you certain data protection rights. We try to let you correct, change, delete, or limit how we use your personal data. Want to know what we have on you or ask us to remove it? Email info@velvetfield.pro. You have the right to access, update, or delete your information. You can ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete data. You can object to how we process it. You can request that we limit processing. You can get a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable, commonly-used format. You can withdraw your consent anytime when we're relying on it to process your information. We may ask you to prove who you are before we respond to these requests. Some data is necessary to provide the Service, so removing it might affect what we can do for you. You can file a complaint with your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area about how we collect and use your information.
11. Your Data Protection Rights under the California Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA was the first state law requiring commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. It applies to businesses in the US (and potentially worldwide) that operate websites collecting personal information from California residents. We agree to: let you visit anonymously, include "Privacy" in our privacy policy link on the homepage, notify you of changes on the Privacy Policy page, and let you update your information by emailing info@velvetfield.pro. We respect Do Not Track signals and won't track you, set cookies, or use advertising when Do Not Track is active in your browser. You can enable or disable it in your browser's preferences or settings.
12. Your Data Protection Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
As a California resident, you can ask what data we have about you, request deletion, and tell us not to sell or share it. Here's what you can ask us: Tell you what personal information we have. We'll provide the categories we've collected, where we got it, why we collected or sold it, who we shared it with, the specific pieces we have about you, and categories of information we've sold along with who we sold to. If we haven't sold anything, we'll say so. You can make this request twice in a rolling twelve-month period. We'll limit our answer to the previous twelve months. Delete your personal information. We'll remove it from our records and tell service providers to do the same. Deletion might mean de-identification instead. If you delete your data, some Service features may not work. Stop selling your information. We don't sell or rent your data to third parties for money. However, California law might consider some transfers to third parties or within our company a "sale" even without payment. You own your personal data and can ask us to share or delete it anytime. If you ask us to stop, we will. Understand that deletion or stopping sales might affect your experience and prevent you from joining certain programs that need your data. We won't punish you for exercising these rights. Email info@velvetfield.pro to make a request. CCPA is the California Consumer Privacy Act. Check the official California Legislative Information website for details. It took effect on January 1, 2020.
13. Service Providers
We work with third-party companies and people to help run the Service, provide it on our behalf, or analyze how it's used. These providers only access your personal data to do work for us and can't share or use it for anything else.
14. Analytics
Third-party service providers help us track and understand how the Service gets used.
15. CI/CD tools
We use third-party service providers to automate how we develop the Service.
16. Behavioural Re-marketing
We use re-marketing services to show you ads on other websites after you've visited ours. We and our partners use cookies to decide which ads to show based on your past visits.
17. Links to Other Sites
The Service includes links to sites we don't run. Clicking a third-party link takes you to their site. We suggest reading their privacy policy before visiting. We don't control what they do and aren't responsible for their content, privacy policies, or practices.
18. Children's Privacy
The Service isn't for anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you realize a child has given us their data, tell us. If we find out we've collected it without parental consent, we'll delete it from our servers.
19. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy anytime. We'll post the new version here and notify you via email or a notice on the Service before it takes effect. The "effective date" at the top will update. Check back regularly for changes. They're effective when posted.
