Privacy Policy

1. Age Restriction

VelvetHung is strictly for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use this website. We do not allow or host any content involving minors.

2. Information We Collect

• Authentication Data: When you create an account, we collect your email address and basic profile information via our secure authentication provider (Clerk).
• User Submissions: Any data, images, or text you voluntarily submit to the site is stored securely.
• Usage Data: We automatically collect basic analytical data (such as IP addresses and browser types) to maintain site security and improve user experience.

3. Performer Profile Removal Request

We respect the privacy and autonomy of all performers featured in our directory. If you are a featured performer (or an authorized manager/agency) and would like your profile updated or permanently removed, please contact us at contact@velvethung.com. To protect performers from malicious or fraudulent takedown requests, we require identity verification. Requests must be sent from an official contact channel linked on your verified professional profiles (such as your official Twitter/X or Instagram DMs), or accompanied by a standard verification photo. Once verified, we process all removal requests promptly.

4. Subjective & User-Generated content Disclaimer

VelvetHung is operated strictly as an independent, non-commercial hobby directory. None of the profiles or content featured on the site are sponsored, paid advertisements; all entries are contributed by community members and site moderators. The biographical information, build types, sizes, descriptions, and tags posted on performer profiles may occasionally be inaccurate, estimated, or subjective. Because profiles and details are contributed by community members and site moderators, we cannot guarantee the absolute factual correctness of every data point. If you notice an error or inaccurate detail on a profile, please contact us or submit feedback so we can correct it.

5. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and to remember your preferences (such as your age verification status). You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, but disabling them may break essential site functionality.

6. Third-Party Services

We utilize trusted third-party services to operate the site, including Clerk for user authentication, Cloudflare for secure media hosting, and secure databases for content storage. These services only access your data to the extent necessary to perform their functions.

7. Copyright & DMCA Compliance

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you are a copyright owner (or an authorized agent) and believe that any content hosted on VelvetHung infringes upon your copyrights, please submit a notice to contact@velvethung.com with sufficient identifying details (such as the direct URL of the content and proof of ownership). Valid infringement claims will be reviewed and acted upon promptly, up to and including the removal of the disputed material.

8. Data Security and Account Privacy

We take your privacy seriously and do not sell your personal data to third parties. If you choose to create an account, your information is stored securely using industry-standard authentication. Your email address is kept strictly confidential; it is visible only to the primary site administrator for account management purposes and is completely inaccessible to the public, other users, and community moderators.

9. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to request the deletion of your account data, please contact the site administrator at contact@velvethung.com. User data will be permanently deleted upon request.
