Privacy Policy1
Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information VelvetNest may collect, why we use it, how it may be shared, and the choices available to you when you visit velvetnest.store or purchase from our store.
1. Privacy at VelvetNest
VelvetNest respects the privacy of visitors and customers who use our website. This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal information that may be collected when you browse our online store, contact customer support, create an account, subscribe to communications, add products to your cart, or complete a purchase.
The information we collect and how we use it depends on how you interact with our website. For example, information required to fulfill an order is different from information that may be generated when you simply browse product pages.
We aim to collect information that is reasonably necessary for operating the store, completing transactions, communicating with customers, improving the shopping experience, preventing fraud, and meeting applicable legal obligations.
Details needed to process purchases, deliver products, provide support, and maintain transaction records.
Device, browser, network, and website interaction information may be collected through normal website technologies.
Information you provide when contacting VelvetNest or subscribing to communications.
Information may be processed to help detect fraud, abuse, suspicious activity, and security risks.
2. Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with VelvetNest, we may collect information directly from you, automatically through your device or browser, or through service providers that support our store.
Information you provide directly
- Name and contact information
- Email address
- Shipping and billing address
- Telephone number when provided or required for delivery
- Order details and purchase history
- Account information where customer accounts are used
- Information submitted through customer service communications
- Marketing preferences and subscription choices
- Information submitted through forms, reviews, surveys, or other features
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically. This can include IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, referring pages, pages visited, approximate interaction information, and other technical data used to operate and improve the website.
The precise information collected can depend on your device, browser settings, Shopify configuration, installed applications, and the cookies or similar technologies enabled on the storefront.
3. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information for purposes reasonably connected to operating VelvetNest and providing services requested by customers.
- Process and fulfill orders
- Confirm purchases and provide order-related communications
- Arrange delivery and provide shipping updates
- Respond to customer service requests
- Process returns, refunds, exchanges, or other after-sales support
- Maintain and manage customer accounts where applicable
- Prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized transactions, and security incidents
- Improve website functionality and shopping experiences
- Understand website usage and evaluate store performance

- Comply with applicable laws and lawful requests
- Protect the rights, property, security, and integrity of VelvetNest
We do not intend to collect more personal information than reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and the operation of the store.
4. Orders, Payments & Transaction Information
When you place an order, we need certain information to process and fulfill the transaction. This may include your name, email address, shipping address, billing information, selected products, order value, and other information required to complete the purchase.
Payment transactions are processed through the payment methods and providers made available during checkout. VelvetNest does not need to independently receive or store your complete payment card number in order to provide the online shopping service.
Payment providers and commerce infrastructure may process payment-related information according to their own privacy notices and security practices. Customers should review the applicable provider information where necessary.
We may retain transaction information for customer service, accounting, fraud prevention, tax, legal, dispute resolution, and other legitimate business purposes.
7. Marketing & Communications
If you subscribe to VelvetNest marketing communications or otherwise provide permission where required, we may use your contact information to send updates, product information, promotions, seasonal campaigns, or other communications relating to our store.
You can generally unsubscribe from promotional email communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the message. Transactional messages, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, security notices, or other service communications, may still be sent when necessary to fulfill your purchase or provide requested services.
Depending on the configuration of our Shopify store and marketing services, certain technologies may be used to measure campaign performance or present advertising that is more relevant to visitors.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services, completing transactions, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal obligations.
The appropriate retention period depends on the type of information and the reason it was collected. For example, transaction records may need to be kept longer than information used only for a temporary website interaction.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymized, aggregated, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable retention requirements and technical limitations.
9. Information Security
We take reasonable measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss. These measures may include access controls, platform security features, secure payment infrastructure, account protections, and appropriate operational practices.
However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should use strong, unique passwords where accounts are available and avoid sharing account credentials with others.
If you believe that your account or interaction with VelvetNest has been compromised, please contact us promptly.
10. Your Privacy Rights & Choices
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information. These rights can include, subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions:

Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of personal information where applicable.

11. U.S. Privacy Considerations
Customers located in the United States may have additional privacy rights under applicable state laws. Depending on the state in which you reside, these rights may include rights concerning access, deletion, correction, portability, opting out of certain forms of targeted advertising or sharing, and other protections.
The availability and scope of these rights depend on the applicable law and whether the relevant statutory requirements apply to VelvetNest's business and processing activities.
If you believe you have a privacy right under applicable U.S. law, please contact us and describe the nature of your request. We will review the request under the law applicable to your circumstances.
12. Children's Privacy
VelvetNest is an online retail store intended for general consumers and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children who are not legally permitted to use the service in their jurisdiction.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us. Where legally required and reasonably possible, we will take appropriate steps to address the information.
13. International Data Processing
Because VelvetNest uses Shopify and other online commerce technologies, personal information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you live.
Where applicable, we rely on appropriate contractual, technical, organizational, or other lawful mechanisms for international data transfers. The exact location and handling of information can depend on the service providers and technologies used to operate the store.
14. Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services for payments, analytics, marketing, customer communication, fraud prevention, shipping, reviews, advertising, customer accounts, or other store functions.
These providers may process information according to their own policies and contractual arrangements. Where appropriate, we encourage you to review the privacy information provided by those services.
15. Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites, social platforms, payment services, or other third-party destinations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites that are not operated by VelvetNest.
Before providing personal information to a third-party website, we recommend reviewing its privacy policy and terms.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our business practices, website functionality, technology, legal requirements, or data processing activities change.
When changes are made, the revised policy will be published on this page and the effective date will be updated. We encourage visitors and customers to review this page periodically so they remain informed about how personal information is handled.
