Privacy Policy

1. WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase a product from Velora, we collect personal information you provide as part of the transaction process, such as your name, address, and email address.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address. This helps us learn about your browser and operating system, improving your experience on our site.

Email Marketing (if applicable):

With your permission, we may send you emails about new product releases, updates, and other Velora-related news.

2. CONSENT

How do we get your consent?

By providing personal information to complete a transaction, such as placing an order, verifying your payment method, arranging delivery, or initiating a return, you consent to our collecting and using your information for that specific purpose.

If we request your information for any additional reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for explicit consent or provide an option to decline.

How can you withdraw your consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or use your information at any time by emailing us at hello@velorapod.com.

3. DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

4. SHOPIFY

Our online store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the e-commerce platform to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored securely through Shopify’s data storage systems, databases, and applications, behind a firewall.

Payments:

If you choose a direct payment gateway, Shopify securely stores your credit card data. The information is encrypted using the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), and is only retained as long as needed to complete your purchase. After the transaction is complete, the data is deleted.

All direct payment gateways used adhere to PCI-DSS standards, which ensure the secure handling of credit card data. For more details, you can read:

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party service providers we work with will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary for the services they provide.

However, some providers such as payment gateways have their own privacy policies regarding the data we must provide for transaction purposes. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how they handle your personal information.

Some providers may be located in or have operations in different jurisdictions. If you proceed with a transaction involving such services, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdictions where these providers or their facilities are located.

For example, if you’re located outside the United States and your payment is processed through a U.S.-based gateway, your data may be subject to U.S. regulations.

Links:

When you click links on our site, they may take you away from our store. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Google Analytics:

We use Google Analytics to better understand who visits our store and how they interact with it.

6. SECURITY

We follow industry best practices and take reasonable precautions to ensure your personal data is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide your credit card information, it is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no online system is 100% secure, we adhere to all PCI-DSS standards and implement additional security safeguards.
