3. How We Protect Your Information

We take robust measures to safeguard your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Secure Storage: Storing personal data on protected servers with restricted access, and using encrypted databases for sensitive information (e.g., account passwords).
  • Third-Party Processor Security: Working only with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, email marketing platforms) that adhere to strict data security standards and are contractually obligated to protect your information.
  • Employee Training: Ensuring our team is trained on data protection best practices and only granting access to personal data to employees who need it to perform their job functions.

We never sell your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: Sharing data with partners who assist us in delivering services (e.g., shipping carriers to deliver your order, payment processors to handle transactions, email platforms to send newsletters). These providers are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than fulfilling their services for Valentinoebeauty.com.
  • Legal Requirements: Disclosing your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation (e.g., to comply with a subpoena or investigate fraudulent activity).
  • Business Transitions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your personal data may be transferred to the new owner—but we will ensure the new entity adheres to this Privacy Policy.
