Privacy Policy — Velvet Agency GROWTHH Management & Model Agency

1. Who is responsible for your data?

Velvet Agency (hereinafter, 'Velvet') is responsible for processing the personal data you provide through this website, social media or direct communication channels such as email or WhatsApp. If you wish, you can contact us at contact@velvetagency-models.com for any question related to data protection.

2. What data do we collect and for what purpose?

We collect the information that you voluntarily send us through the contact forms, email or messaging applications. This usually includes your name, contact details, social media handles and any additional information you decide to share.

To answer your enquiries and requests for information.
To evaluate applications from models, creators, partners or collaborators.
To manage a potential contractual or commercial relationship with you.
To send you relevant information about Velvet, only if you have asked for it or it is reasonably related to your initial request.

We do not collect more data than necessary for these purposes and we never sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Legal basis for processing

The legal basis that allows Velvet to process your data depends on the type of relationship we have with you:

Your consent, when you contact us voluntarily or tick acceptance boxes in the form.
The execution of pre-contractual or contractual measures, when we evaluate your application as a model, creator or partner.
Our legitimate interest in keeping a minimum record of conversations and commercial relationships while this interest is compatible with your rights.

4. How long do we keep your data?

We keep your data only for the time that is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Applications that are not accepted may be kept for a limited period of time in order to identify repeated profiles or evaluate future fits, unless you explicitly ask us to delete your data earlier.

5. Who can access your data?

Your data is processed internally by Velvet's team and, where necessary, by trusted providers that help us operate this website and our communication tools (hosting, email services, CRM or similar).

All these providers are subject to confidentiality obligations and data protection regulation. We do not authorise them to use your information for their own purposes.

6. International data transfers

Velvet operates in different countries and may work with tools or providers located outside the European Economic Area.

When this happens, we try to ensure that there is an adequate level of protection in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards. If you have specific questions about international transfers, you can contact us and we will provide more details.

7. What are your rights?

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, deletion, limitation, opposition and portability by writing to contact@velvetagency-models.com and indicating 'Data protection' in the subject line. If you reside in the European Union, you can also file a complaint with your local data protection authority if you consider that your rights have not been respected.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Velvet may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes in our internal processes, in the law or in the services we offer. When we publish a new version on this page, the updated date will appear at the top. We recommend you review it periodically.
