Privacy Policy

Velvet Routine is an independent lifestyle publication, managed and operated by Mindplex, that shares general interest articles focused on simple routines, neutral observations, and everyday structure. This privacy policy outlines how information is handled when you visit our website.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect any personally identifiable information from visitors. This includes names, email addresses, mailing addresses, payment information, or account login credentials. Velvet Routine does not allow user registration, commenting, account creation, or personal data submission of any kind. We do not operate a newsletter, subscription list, contact form, or lead collection system.

Basic Technical Information

When you visit Velvet Routine, basic technical data may be recorded by our hosting provider for operational and diagnostic purposes. This may include your anonymized IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, referring URL, and general non-specific geographic data. This information is automatically collected and used only for site performance monitoring and basic security. It cannot be used to identify or track individual users and is not connected to any personal profile.

Use of Cookies

Velvet Routine uses only essential cookies that support core website functionality. These may include session cookies that manage browsing continuity and temporary cookies that help detect browser compatibility. We do not use cookies for advertising, analytics, profiling, or behavioral targeting. These cookies do not collect personal information.

If you choose to disable or clear cookies using your browser settings, you may continue to browse Velvet Routine without restriction.

Embedded Third-Party Content

Some articles on Velvet Routine may include embedded content such as videos, maps, or image galleries from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the user had visited the third-party site directly.

These external sites may collect usage data, set cookies, or include additional third-party tracking technologies. Velvet Routine does not control or access data collected by these external platforms. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of these third-party services if you interact with embedded content.

Data Sharing and External Access

Velvet Routine does not share, rent, sell, or disclose any user information to outside parties. Since we do not collect personal data, there is no user information to transmit or distribute. The only data accessible to our team consists of anonymous server logs, which are used solely for security auditing and system maintenance.

We do not work with data processors, advertising networks, or lead buyers. But we may include Amazon affiliate links to support the site.

Data Retention and Deletion

Because we do not collect or store personal data, we do not maintain any user-specific database or profiles. No retention policy is required, and there is no need for data deletion or export options. If you have interacted with a third-party embed and wish to manage your data, please refer to that third-party provider’s privacy controls.

Your Rights and Requests

In accordance with data protection standards, you have the right to inquire about any data we may hold related to your visit. However, given that Velvet Routine does not process or store personal data, we are unable to provide or delete data that we do not possess. If you believe your interaction with this site has created a data concern, please contact us and we will respond appropriately.
