Wix hosts and helps operate the website. Wix and its affiliated service providers may process website data, form submissions, account information, cookies, analytics, communications, and transaction information.

We may share information with a sponsor, vendor, venue, production partner, or event organizer when necessary to administer an event, provide a requested opportunity, fulfill an agreement, or protect safety.

We do not provide model applications or contact information to unrelated sponsors or vendors for their independent marketing without permission or another lawful basis.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for:

  • Essential website functions;

  • Security and fraud prevention;

  • Remembering visitor preferences;

  • Forms, registrations, and checkout;

  • Website performance and analytics;

  • Advertising measurement;

  • Social-media integrations; and

  • Personalized or targeted advertising.

Where required, nonessential cookies will be used only after you provide consent through the website’s cookie banner.

You may manage cookies through the cookie banner or your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

8. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Velior does not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

Velior may allow analytics, social-media, or advertising providers to collect identifiers and internet activity through cookies or similar technologies. Some state privacy laws may define these activities as “selling,” “sharing,” or processing for targeted advertising, even when no money is exchanged.

Where required, you may opt out by:

  • Selecting the appropriate choices in the website’s cookie settings;

  • Using any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link displayed on the website; or

  • Submitting a request through the Velior contact page.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our website technology, Velior will process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

Velior does not knowingly sell or share the personal information of children under 16 for targeted advertising.

9. Marketing Communications

Velior may send promotional emails or text messages when you have provided consent or when otherwise permitted by law.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by selecting the unsubscribe link in the message. You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP.

Opting out of marketing does not prevent Velior from sending nonpromotional messages regarding an application, registration, purchase, agreement, event, safety matter, or existing business relationship.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchase.

10. Data Retention

Velior retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Complete the purpose for which it was collected;

  • Process and maintain applications and registrations;

  • Administer events and business relationships;

  • Fulfill contracts and transactions;

  • Maintain financial, tax, insurance, and legal records;

  • Resolve disputes;

  • Enforce agreements; and

  • Comply with applicable law.

Retention periods vary according to the type of information and applicable requirements.

Unsuccessful or inactive applications may be retained for future opportunities, recordkeeping, fraud prevention, or legal purposes. You may request deletion, subject to applicable exceptions.

Photographs, video, audio, and creative materials captured by or for Velior may be retained indefinitely for promotional, editorial, commercial, historical, or archival purposes, as permitted by an applicable release, agreement, or law.

When information is no longer reasonably required, Velior may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

11. Data Security

Velior uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

No website, transmission method, payment system, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for using caution when transmitting information and for protecting any account credentials under your control.

If Velior becomes aware of a data breach requiring notice, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Velior website is not directed to children under 13, and Velior does not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

A parent or legal guardian must submit information and provide authorization for a participant under 13. If Velior learns that information was collected directly from a child under 13 without required permission, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Model applicants and participants under 18 are not permitted to participate.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Confirm whether Velior processes your personal information;

  • Request access to personal information;

  • Request correction of inaccurate information;

  • Request deletion of information;

  • Opt out of selling, sharing, or targeted advertising;

  • Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information;

  • Object to or restrict certain processing;

  • Withdraw consent;

  • Appeal the denial of a privacy request; and

  • Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right.

These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions. Velior may retain information when necessary to complete a transaction, comply with law, protect security, maintain records, exercise legal rights, or fulfill another permitted purpose.

14. Third-Party Websites and Social Media

The website may contain links or integrations involving social-media platforms, payment services, sponsors, vendors, or other third parties.

Those parties operate under their own privacy policies. Velior does not control and is not responsible for their independent privacy or security practices.

Information you post publicly or provide directly to a third party may be visible to others and is governed by that party’s policies.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Velior may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, website features, services, or legal obligations.

The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request consent before applying a material change.
