Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 29, 2026
Velora, operated by Boostera Labs Ltd (Company No. 11921132, Kemp House, 160 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX), values the privacy of all users. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how and why we use and share it, the legal bases we rely on, how long we keep it, where it is processed, your rights, and how to contact us. It applies to your use of the Velora website and services.
Data we collect
- Account details — name, email, age, gender, city and login credentials.
- Profile content — anything you add to your profile, including photos you upload.
- Identity verification data — the government-issued ID document and selfie you submit to verify your identity and age. These are used only to make a verification decision and are deleted once that decision is made.
- Communication data — the letters, chat messages and gifts you send, and related metadata.
- Payment information — processed by our payment provider; we do not store full card numbers.
- Technical data — device, browser, approximate location and cookies (see below).
How we use your data
We use your data to provide and secure the service, match you with members, process credit purchases, operate our anti-scam and safety measures, respond to support requests, comply with legal obligations, and — where permitted — to improve Velora and send you service messages. We do not sell your personal data.
Legal bases
Under applicable data-protection law, we process your data on the bases of: contract (to provide the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (security, anti-fraud, service improvement), legal obligation (accounting and compliance), and consent (for non-essential cookies and optional marketing, which you can withdraw at any time).
Cookies & tracking
We use strictly necessary cookies to run the site and, with your consent, analytics cookies to understand usage. You can manage your choices at any time. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Sharing & processors
We share data only with service providers who help us operate Velora — such as payment processing, hosting, email delivery and gift fulfilment — under contracts that require them to protect it. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect the safety of our users. We do not share your contact details with other members except through the contact-request process you initiate.
International transfers
Your data is handled under strong data-protection terms; where any processor is located in another country, we rely on appropriate safeguards so that your data keeps the same protection.
Data security
We protect your data with encryption in transit, hashed passwords, access controls and audit logging on sensitive events. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to notify you and the relevant authorities of any material breach as required by law.
Your rights
You may access, correct, export, or delete your data, and object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, email privacy@velora.dating from the address on your account. We aim to respond within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to the competent data-protection authority.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy:
- Account data: retained while your account is active and deleted within 30 days of account closure.
- Identity verification documents (ID & selfie): deleted as soon as a verification decision is made; only the decision and an audit record are kept.
- Communication logs: retained for up to 12 months, then deleted.
- Payment records: retained for up to 7 years to meet legal and accounting obligations.
Age restriction
The service is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
Changes & contact
We may update this policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date above shows when. For any privacy question or request, contact privacy@velora.dating.
