Transactional Communications
Even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send you service-related communications — such as rental confirmations, shipping notifications, payment receipts, and account security alerts — as these are necessary to fulfill our agreement with you.
Data Security
We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include encrypted data transmission, access controls, and regular security reviews.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.

When your information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention practices. Some information may be retained in backup systems for a limited additional period before full deletion.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you

A "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism will be added to our site where required under applicable final regulatory guidance.

Third-Party Services
Our website and communications may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, platforms, and services — such as social media channels, payment gateways, or analytics tools. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
lumelle is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party services. Our privacy policy applies only to information we collect directly or through vendors acting on our behalf under contractual agreements.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@lumelle.ai.
