Velveteen International Limited recognises that your privacy is very important to you. We value your privacy and want you to know how we treat the personal information you give to us or we collect from you. 

We are committed to protecting and safeguarding your privacy and complying with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap 486) (the “Ordinance”). This Privacy Policy explains how we use and protect your personal information and provide a safe environment for you. 

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before you provide any personal information to us through our website, or otherwise. By using our website and disclosing personal information to us you signify your consent to us collecting and using personal information about you in accordance with this Privacy Policy. 

The Personal Information We Collect From You

In order to provide you with certain products or services, we may ask for personal details such as your name, mailing address, billing address, telephone number and email address, and we will keep a record of this information. You do not generally have to provide any personal information to us unless you want to. However, if you choose not to provide certain types of personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services you have requested, or you may not be able to use all of our website features and functionality. 

We generally only collect personal information when it is provided voluntarily, by you. For example, we may collect your personal information when you register with us, subscribe to our website and/or newsletter, use our services, order our products, contact us online or by telephone, or send us correspondence. 

How We Use Your Personal Information

The personal information that we collect via our website or through correspondence with you will be used and disclosed for the purposes for which you supplied it. For example, the contact details that you provide to us may be used to identify and fulfill any orders you place, ensuring that any products purchased via our website are delivered to the given address. 

We use your personal information in a variety of ways including:

• to help with administration
• to improve the information, products and services we offer to you
• for business analysis and research
• to market products or services that we think may be beneficial to you.

In exceptional situations, we may also use and disclose your personal information for other reasons permitted under the Ordinance including complying with a request from the police or a regulatory or government authority or in the unlikely event that our business assets are ever sold to, or purchased by, another company (as our data records form part of our business). 

We may also use and disclose personal information for purposes related or ancillary to the main reasons we collect it, such as invoicing and reminder notices as well as invitations to events. If at any time you do not wish to receive these kinds of communications please contact us and let us know.

We will never sell your personal information to anyone. We may, however, share your personal information with third parties that are carrying out work or performing services, on our behalf, in connection with our products and services (for example, payment processors and relevant postal or courier service companies). 

Your personal information will only be held for as long as necessary. The personal information is then destroyed unless we must retain it to satisfy legal, regulatory or accounting requirements or to protect our interests. 

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We work hard to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, disclosure or modification. We store your personal information in different ways, including as hard copy documents and in electronic formats. Access to and use of your personal information is limited to those with a “need to know” in our organisation.   

We also use technology and other security features and procedures in an effort to prevent unauthorised access and to protect the personal information we hold. Please be aware however that no data transmission over the internet can ever be entirely secure and may be prone to error. While we take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect your personal information, due to the nature of email and the internet, we cannot guarantee the security, privacy or confidentiality of the personal information that you transmit to us through our website, and therefore any transmission is at your own risk. 

Your personal data may be transferred to a destination outside Hong Kong. If this is the case, we will ensure that all reasonable precautions are taken and all due diligence exercised to ensure that the personal data concerned is given equivalent protection to that provided by the Ordinance.
