At Velvet Stays, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website or make a booking with us.
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from uploaded images.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies will be created to save your login information and screen display preferences:
Login cookies last for two days.
Screen options cookies last for one year.
If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.
Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved, containing only the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or other articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited that website.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you are logged in to their website.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We may also share necessary data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website, manage bookings, or process payments — all under strict confidentiality agreements.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
