PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: [1/24/2025]
Welcome to Velvet Lenae! I’m so glad you’re here, embracing your journey toward deeper sexual understanding, pleasure, and self-empowerment—and if you’re here for the art, welcome to my creative realm as well! Because your trust is fundamental to what I do, I take your privacy extremely seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how I collect, use, share, and protect your personal information so that you can feel safe while exploring and learning on this site.
1. WHO WE ARE
- Business Name: Velvet Lenae
- Website: velvetlenae.com
- Owner: Velvet Lenae
I wear multiple hats: I’m a sex-positive educator and coach dedicated to helping adults navigate intimacy, pleasure, and personal growth. I’m also a visual artist, creating works that celebrate self-expression, empowerment, and occasionally, erotic themes. My mission is to provide a shame-free environment for all my offerings—and that includes honoring your privacy across the board.
2. INFORMATION I COLLECT & WHY
I collect personal data in a few ways to offer you the best possible experience, whether you’re booking a coaching session, signing up for a workshop, or purchasing my artwork.
-
Directly from You
- Contact Details: When you subscribe to a newsletter, download resources, book a coaching session, or make a purchase, I may ask for your name, email address, phone number, and/or mailing address. This helps me stay connected, schedule services, ship artwork (if applicable), and provide resources.
- Payment Information: If you purchase a service, digital product, or physical artwork, my trusted third-party payment processors handle your credit card and billing details. I only receive minimal necessary data (e.g., billing name, last four digits of your card) to confirm payment.
- Coaching Sessions & Intake Forms: If you’re booking coaching, I may ask about your goals, challenges, and personal background to tailor sessions to your unique needs.
- Artwork Commissions & Purchases: If you commission a piece or buy an existing work, I may collect additional information (like shipping address, preferences for custom art, etc.) to fulfill your order.
-
Automatically through Your Use of the Site
- Cookies & Tracking Technologies: Like most websites, I use cookies and similar tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve functionality, understand what interests you, and enhance your experience. (See Section 7 for more details.)
3. HOW I USE YOUR INFORMATION
I respect that your personal information can be sensitive—especially when it involves your sexuality or intimate expressions. Here’s how I use what you share:
- To Provide Services: Tailoring coaching programs, scheduling sessions, creating or shipping artwork, and sending you relevant resources.
- To Communicate: Sending newsletters, updates on new offerings or art pieces, and important notices (like changes to this Privacy Policy).
- To Improve the Site & Services: Using aggregated analytics data to see what content resonates with visitors, so I can keep creating supportive, inclusive, and empowering material—be it coaching content or artwork.
- To Comply with the Law: If necessary, to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.
4. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
I value your autonomy and confidentiality. I do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, I may share certain data in the following contexts:
- With Service Providers: Trusted partners (e.g., payment processors, email marketing tools, shipping services) who help me operate my business and fulfill orders. They are contractually obligated to protect your data.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
Any third-party service I use is carefully vetted to ensure they uphold strong privacy and data protection standards.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY
As a sex-positive educator and visual artist, I understand the importance of discretion. Any information you choose to share—whether during coaching sessions, commissioning artwork, or via intake forms—remains confidential and is used solely to support your personal growth, educational journey, or art-related requests. I maintain strict protocols to safeguard your identity and protect the integrity of your information.
6. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
If you’re visiting from outside my operating country (USA), please be aware that your data might be transferred to and processed in a different jurisdiction. I take steps to ensure that your information receives a high level of protection, aligning with relevant data protection laws.
