Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us, especially on a site like this. This policy explains what information Velvet Visit collects, why, and what rights you have. Browsing the site does not require registration, and you can view all ads without giving any personal details.
What information is collected
- Technical browsing data: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time of the visit and the page you came from. This is logged automatically on the site’s servers and by the security and speed services that help run it.
- Enquiries: if you send a message through the contact form, we keep the name, email address and message you provide.
- Cookies: small files stored in your browser. We use the cookies needed for the site to work and stay secure, and we may add statistics tools in the future, such as Google Analytics or Google Search Console, to understand which pages are useful. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Contacting an advertiser by WhatsApp or phone
Pressing a WhatsApp button opens a chat in the app, and the conversation continues outside the site, subject to WhatsApp’s own policy. We do not see or store the content of your conversation with an advertiser. The phone and WhatsApp numbers in the ads belong to the advertisers, who are responsible for how they are used.
What we do not collect
We do not ask for an ID number, payment card details or any other sensitive information in order to browse the site. If anyone asks you for such details in the name of the site, do not give them and report it to us.
Why we use the information
The information is used to run and secure the site, to prevent abuse and fraud, to answer enquiries, to improve performance and to understand how the site is used. We do not sell personal information and we do not use it for third-party marketing.
Who the information is shared with
Information may be processed by providers that make the site work: the hosting company, a protection and speed service (CDN), email services and statistics services if they are switched on. These providers are bound to protect the information and use it only to provide the service. Information may be passed to a competent authority if we are required to do so by law or by a court order.
Processing outside Israel
Some of the providers that run the site, such as network and protection services, may process information on servers located outside Israel. We work with well-known providers that apply reasonable safeguards, and they use the information only to provide the service.
How long information is kept
We keep information only as long as it is needed for the purposes above or as long as the law requires. Enquiries received through the form are deleted when they are no longer needed. You can ask us to delete your enquiry at any time.
Information security
The site runs over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and we use common protective measures, such as restricting access to the admin area and filtering malicious traffic. No system is completely immune, however, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Your rights
Under Israel’s Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, you have the right to see the information held about you and to ask for it to be corrected or deleted. To exercise these rights, write to [email protected] or use the contact page, and mention the details you gave so that we can find them.
Minors
The site is not intended for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect information about minors. If you learn that a minor has given us details, contact us and we will delete them immediately.
Links to other sites
The site may contain links to services and sites run by others. This privacy policy does not apply to them, and we recommend reading their policies before you give them any information.
Changes to this policy
We will update the policy when necessary, for example when we add a new service. The valid version is the one published on this page. Further terms are in the Terms of Use.
