Terms & conditions
WHO WE ARE
At LaMel Boutique, we value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle the information you share with us while browsing our digital boutique.
COMMENTS
Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
MEDIA
We kindly ask that you avoid uploading images to our site that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Please be aware that any location data within your uploads can be extracted by other visitors to the site.
COOKIES
To provide you with a seamless luxury shopping experience, we use cookies:
Convenience: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your details so they are ready for your next visit (lasting one year).
Account Security: When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies persist for two days, while display options last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your session active for two weeks.
Editing: If you publish or edit an article, a temporary cookie (expiring after 1 day) is saved to indicate the post ID.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITE
Our site may feature embedded content (videos, images, or articles). This content functions as if you were visiting the source website directly. Please note that these external sites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction if you are logged into their platforms.
WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.
Retention: Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely to streamline our moderation process. For registered members, we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You retain full control to view, edit, or delete your information at any time (username excluded). LaMel administrators also have access to this information to assist with your account needs.
WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA
If you have an account or have left comments, you are entitled to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold, excluding information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
WHERE YOUR DATA IS SENT
To maintain the integrity of our boutique, visitor comments are screened through automated spam detection services.
