At Velvet Muse, privacy is treated with the same care as design, presentation, and customer experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, process, and protect personal information when you visit our website, create an account, place an order, contact our team, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with the Velvet Muse brand online. By using the website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
Velvet Muse is committed to handling personal information responsibly, lawfully, and transparently. We collect only the data reasonably necessary to operate our website, process orders, communicate with customers, improve user experience, protect the integrity of the business, and comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
We do not approach personal data casually. Information shared by customers is treated as part of a trusted commercial relationship, and we take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect that information from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, loss, or unlawful processing.
The Velvet Muse experience is built not only on visual identity and design quality, but also on professionalism. That professionalism includes the responsible treatment of names, contact details, shipping information, order history, and other personal data shared with us during the customer journey.
Whether you browse the website casually or complete a purchase, we believe you should understand what information may be collected, why it is used, and how your privacy is respected throughout the process.
Velvet Muse is the brand and business operating this website and offering fashion products, brand content, and related customer services through its online presence. References in this policy to “Velvet Muse”, “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to the operator of the website and the party responsible for handling your information in connection with the services and products provided through it.
We may collect personal information directly from you when you place an order, create an account, subscribe to updates, fill in a contact form, communicate with customer support, request assistance, participate in promotions, or otherwise submit information through the website.
The types of personal data we may collect include your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, order details, purchase history, account login information, communication history, and other details relevant to customer support or order fulfillment.
We may also collect technical and usage-related information automatically when you browse the website. This may include device type, browser information, IP address, general geographic indicators, pages visited, referral sources, time spent on pages, session activity, and interactions with website functionality.
Personal information may be collected through checkout forms, account registration fields, newsletter forms, support requests, direct messages, cookies, website analytics tools, security monitoring systems, and e-commerce plugins or integrations required to operate the store.
Some information is collected because you provide it voluntarily, while other data may be gathered automatically through the normal operation of the website, including via browser technologies, embedded tools, platform services, or session tracking.
We use personal information for legitimate business and customer service purposes. This includes processing and confirming orders, arranging shipment and delivery, communicating with you about purchases, responding to questions, providing support, preventing fraud, maintaining the security of the website, and managing customer accounts where available.
Information may also be used to improve website functionality, analyze shopping behaviour in aggregate form, refine product presentation, troubleshoot technical issues, maintain internal business records, and ensure a smoother and more personalized customer experience.
Where permitted, we may also use your information to send updates relating to the brand, product launches, restocks, editorial releases, service announcements, or promotional content. You may opt out of marketing communications where such an option is made available.
When you place an order, we use the information you provide to verify the purchase, confirm payment status, prepare the order, coordinate shipping, generate invoices or transaction records, and maintain internal order history. Without certain required information, we may be unable to process or fulfill your purchase correctly.
Customer service interactions may also be recorded in order history, support logs, or internal communication records where necessary to manage enquiries, returns, delivery matters, exchanges, complaints, or account-related support.
Payments made through the website are typically processed through third-party payment gateways or financial service providers. Velvet Muse does not usually store full payment card details directly on its own servers unless clearly stated through a secure technical process integrated into the checkout system.
Payment providers may collect and process payment-related data according to their own privacy notices and compliance obligations. We recommend that customers review the policies of any payment platform used during checkout.
The website may use cookies, pixels, session tools, and similar technologies to ensure essential functionality, maintain shopping cart behaviour, remember preferences, improve performance, understand user activity, measure traffic, and support analytics or marketing tools where enabled.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly, while others help us understand how visitors use the site or assist with personalization and performance. Depending on your jurisdiction and browser settings, you may be able to manage, reject, or limit certain cookies through your browser or consent preferences.
If you subscribe to our mailing list, request updates, or otherwise consent to promotional communication, Velvet Muse may use your contact details to send news about collections, launches, updates, editorial content, campaigns, or special offers. We aim to keep marketing communication relevant to the brand and customer interest.
You may unsubscribe from non-essential promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in such communications or by contacting us through the channels made available on the website.
Velvet Muse does not sell your personal information to third parties as a standalone commercial asset. However, we may share information with carefully selected service providers where necessary to operate the website and fulfill legitimate business functions.
These third parties may include payment processors, delivery partners, hosting providers, e-commerce platforms, fraud prevention providers, analytics services, email communication tools, customer support systems, technical developers, legal advisers, or accounting professionals where reasonably required.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, regulatory obligation, legal process, court order, or where disclosure is reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights, prevent fraud, protect customers, or maintain the security and lawful operation of the business.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including order processing, customer support, tax and accounting obligations, legal compliance, dispute handling, fraud prevention, and internal business recordkeeping.
The exact retention period may vary depending on the type of data, the nature of the transaction, technical requirements, legal obligations, and whether continued retention is needed for legitimate business interests. When information is no longer required, we aim to delete, anonymize, or securely limit access to it where appropriate.
Velvet Muse takes reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, destruction, misuse, or alteration. These measures may include secure hosting environments, restricted access, password controls, software updates, platform security tools, encrypted or secured transaction channels, and provider-level safeguards.
While we strive to protect information carefully, no online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed as absolutely secure. For that reason, customers should also take care when using personal devices, sharing account credentials, and accessing the website through unsecured networks.
Depending on the laws applicable to you, you may have rights in relation to your personal data. These may include the right to request access to the information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of certain information, request restriction of certain processing activities, object to certain uses of your data, or request a portable copy of relevant information where applicable.
Where we rely on consent for a specific type of processing, you may also have the right to withdraw that consent. Any such request may be subject to identity verification and to legal or operational limitations where certain data must be retained.
If the website offers account registration, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for ensuring that information associated with your account remains accurate and current. Velvet Muse is not responsible for losses resulting from unauthorized account access caused by weak credentials, shared passwords, or failure to secure your account properly.
The website may contain links to third-party platforms, social media pages, payment systems, or external services. If you follow those links or use those services, your data may be handled according to the privacy practices of those third parties. Velvet Muse is not responsible for the content, policies, or data handling practices of external websites or providers.
The website is not intended for children who are not legally able to enter into relevant commercial interactions under applicable law. Velvet Muse does not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner that would violate applicable data protection requirements. If it becomes apparent that inappropriate personal data has been submitted, we may take steps to delete or restrict that information.
Depending on the technical services used to operate the website, some information may be processed or stored through providers located in different jurisdictions. Where this occurs, Velvet Muse aims to work with reputable service providers and to apply reasonable safeguards suitable to the nature of the processing and the operational context of the business.
Velvet Muse reserves the right to update, revise, expand, or modify this Privacy Policy at any time in order to reflect changes in law, business practices, technology, website functionality, operational structure, or customer services. The latest version published on the website will be the version that applies at the relevant time unless otherwise stated.
Continued use of the website after any policy update indicates your acknowledgment of the revised Privacy Policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, the way your information is handled, your rights in relation to your personal data, or any privacy-related matter concerning Velvet Muse, you may contact us through the contact form, email details, or customer support channels made available on the website.
