We handle personal information with care and seek to limit its use and disclosure to what is relevant in the circumstances. The following principles describe how Velvet Pavilion may share, retain and protect information without making promises that go beyond what can reasonably be maintained.
Limited sharing
Velvet Pavilion may share personal information with people or organisations that help operate the website or respond to communications where this is reasonably necessary. Information may also be disclosed where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable obligations. We do not share personal information indiscriminately; any sharing should be connected to a relevant operational, communication or legal purpose.
Only where reasonably necessary.
Storage and retention
Personal information may be kept for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to manage communications, resolve issues, meet record-keeping needs or comply with applicable obligations. Relevance and necessity inform this approach. This policy does not set fixed timeframes or make a blanket promise that every record will be deleted at a particular time.
Reasonable safeguards
Velvet Pavilion takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. The safeguards applied will be appropriate to the nature of the information and the context in which it is handled.
No method of internet transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure.
