Last Updated: October 8, 2025

Bell Vkit (“Bell Vkit,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) operates this website and provides access to its content, recipes, newsletter subscriptions, and interactive features (collectively, the “Services”).

 For clarity, references to “Bell Vkit,” “Bell V’Kit,” or “Bell VKit” in this document all refer to the same entity, operated under the Bell Vkit brand.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or interact with any part of the Services.

 By using the website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.

1. Scope and Application

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of our website worldwide.
 It covers the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information obtained through:

  • newsletter subscriptions

  • contact form submissions

  • recipe ratings and comments

  • analytics or cookies used to understand site activity

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Bell Vkit, even if linked from our site.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Contact Information: name and email address provided when you subscribe, comment, or contact us

  • User-Generated Content: comments, ratings, or other information you voluntarily post

  • Technical and Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages visited, and engagement time, collected through cookies and similar technologies

  • Communications Data: information contained in your messages to us

We do not collect or process payment or shipping data, as no online store or transactions are active at this time.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our website and content

  • Send newsletters and communications (only if you have opted in)

  • Analyze site performance and visitor engagement

  • Display and moderate comments or ratings

  • Respond to your messages or feedback

  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR and Similar Laws)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar privacy laws, we rely on:

  • Consent — for newsletters and non-essential cookies

  • Legitimate Interest — to operate, secure, and improve the site

  • Legal Obligation — to comply with applicable laws or lawful requests

You may withdraw consent or object to processing at any time (see Section 10).

5. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and tracking tools to understand visitor behavior and enhance performance.

  • Google Analytics helps us analyze anonymous site-usage trends.

  • Cookies may store preferences such as remembered comment details.

Visitors from the EU/UK will see a cookie-consent banner allowing acceptance or rejection of non-essential cookies.

 You can adjust browser settings to delete or block cookies at any time.

 For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

6. Email Marketing (Klaviyo)

When you subscribe to our newsletter:

  • We collect and store your name and email address to send updates, recipes, and occasional announcements.

  • Emails are sent only with your explicit consent, and every email includes an unsubscribe option.

  • We use Klaviyo to manage our mailing list; Klaviyo may process data in the U.S. or other jurisdictions under data-transfer safeguards.

  • You can unsubscribe at any time.

7. Comments and Ratings

When you comment on or rate a recipe:

  • We collect the information you provide, your IP address, and browser details to help with spam prevention.

  • Your comment and name (if provided) may be displayed publicly.

  • We may remove or moderate content that violates our Terms & Conditions or applicable law.

8. Relationship with Shopify

Our website is hosted on the Shopify platform, which provides the online infrastructure that allows us to publish and operate this site.

 Shopify may automatically collect and process certain technical or usage data (such as IP address, browser type, and interactions) to maintain and improve its platform.
 In these cases, Shopify may act as a data processor or independent controller, depending on the data and purpose.

 For more information on how Shopify processes personal information, please review the Shopify Privacy Policy.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law:

  • Newsletter data — until you unsubscribe

  • Comments and ratings — until you request deletion

  • Analytics data — according to Google’s default retention settings (typically 14–26 months)

When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete personal data

  • Restrict or object to processing

  • Withdraw consent

  • Request data portability

  • Lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority

Requests can be sent to info@bellvkit.com.
 We may require identity verification before processing any request.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.
 However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International Data Transfers

Because we use global service providers such as Shopify, Google, and Klaviyo, your data may be processed outside your country of residence.
 Where required, we rely on legal mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards for cross-border transfers.

13. Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for general audiences and is not directed toward children under 16 years of age.

 We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

14. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external websites or embedded content. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. You should review their policies before engaging with them.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes.

We will post the revised version with an updated “Last Updated” date.
Continued use of the site after changes are posted signifies acceptance of the revised terms.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Thailand, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising from this Policy shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Bangkok, Thailand, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
