Community Interaction & Comments

When you engage with our community by leaving a comment, we collect the data shown in the comments form. To help keep the Vida Jewel’s website secure and free of spam, we also collect your IP address and browser user agent string.

If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to them to check for a profile picture. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your post.

Media & Uploads

If you upload images to our website (such as in a product review), we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Please be aware that visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from images hosted on the web.

Our Use of Cookies

To make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, we use cookies:

• Convenience: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name and email. These cookies last for one year so you don’t have to re-enter your details.

• Account Security: If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies; this contains no personal data and disappears when you close your browser.

• Persistent Login: When you log in, we set cookies to remember your credentials and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, but if you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.

• Content Management: If you edit or publish a post, a cookie (containing no personal data) will track the post ID and expire after 24 hours.

Newsletter & Marketing Communications

When you join The Vida Edit, we collect your email address to provide you with the services you’ve requested: exclusive discounts, restock alerts, and news on our latest drops.

• No Spam Policy: We value your inbox as much as your style. We do not engage in spam and will only send content we believe is relevant to your Vida Jewel experience.
• Data Sharing: Your email address is kept confidential. We do not sell, rent, or trade our newsletter subscriber lists to third parties for their marketing purposes.
• Easy Opt-Out: You are in control. You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email or by contacting us at shopvidajewel@gmail.com. Once you opt out, you will stop receiving marketing emails, though you will still receive transactional emails (like order confirmations and shipping updates).

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our site may feature embedded content (such as styling videos or articles). This content behaves exactly as if you visited the external website directly. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you are logged into an account with them.

Data Sharing & Security

We value your privacy and do not sell your data. However, in specific technical instances, data is used for your protection:

• Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.

• Spam Prevention: Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service to maintain site integrity.

Data Retention

• Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

• User Profiles: For registered shoppers, we store the personal information provided in your profile. You have full control to see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (with the exception of your username). Our website administrators also have access to this information to provide customer support.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account with Vida Jewel or have left comments, you have the right to:

1. Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.

2. Request that we erase any personal data we hold.

Note: This does not include any data we are legally or administratively obligated to keep for security or tax purposes.
