How does the Site keep Personally Identifiable Information secure?
All of our employees are familiar with our security policy and practices. The Personally Identifiable Information of our Visitors and Authorized Customers is only accessible to a limited number of qualified employees who are given a password in order to gain access to the information. We audit our security systems and processes on a regular basis. Sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, is protected by encryption protocols, in place to protect information sent over the Internet. While we take commercially reasonable measures to maintain a secure site, electronic communications and databases are subject to errors, tampering and break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or warrant that such events will not take place and we will not be liable to Visitors or Authorized Customers for any such occurrences.
Can a Visitor delete or deactivate Personally Identifiable Information collected by the Site?
We provide Visitors and Authorized Customers with a mechanism to delete/deactivate Personally Identifiable Information from the Site's database by contacting info@depetra.com. However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a Visitor's entry without retaining some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way moving forward.
Security While we will endeavor to protect the security and integrity of any sensitive personal information that may be provided by our users to this Website, complete security is not always possible. Due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from unauthorized access or use.
It is important to remember that you too play a role in the security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password, and because your password may permit access to your personal information, please keep your password secret and do not disclose it to others. Please notify us immediately if you learn of any unauthorized use of your password or account, or any other breach of security.
In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of any user’s personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify such user of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use the United States Postal Service to notify you in this situation, please e-mail us at depetra@depetra.com
What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will let our Visitors and Authorized Customers know about changes to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site. However, if we are changing our privacy policy in a manner that might cause disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information that a Visitor or Authorized Customer has previously requested not be disclosed, we will contact such Visitor or Authorized Customer to allow such Visitor or Authorized Customer to prevent such disclosure.

With the importance of our commercial relations, we created our logo with the Petra mosaic in mind, drawing a goddess in all her splendor, a symbol of beauty, femininity, and the power that just a woman has, we added our name, and we made it by hand to show our nature.
Lorena Medinilla a transplant from Mexico City has integrated her cultural influences into her designs. Over time with our success in Houston, boutiques such as Tootsies, Khul-Linscomb, and The Museum Shop create a demand to expand later to Anthropologie, Free People, and others which required more production. Lorena's husband, Arturo, is the administrator of operations. Lorena and Arturo remain the sole administrators of the company with the occasional help of their sons and our caring team. We are a proud family business and all handmade in the USA.
