When you make a purchase from our online jewelry store, we collect personal information that you give us at the time of placing an order. This includes your name, address, and email address.
Furthermore, if you don’t make a purchase but browse our store, we automatically receive your IP address information which allows us to learn about your operating system and browser.
We use this information with your permission to send you emails about new products, our store updates, sales, and discounts.
When you engage with our store, such as placing an order, verifying your credit card, arranging for delivery, or returning a purchase, then you also give us your personal information. In these cases, your consent is implied to collect your information and use it for the specific purpose.
However, if we take your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will ask for your expressed consent directly or give you the opportunity to say no.
If you want to withdraw your consent after you opted in for us to contact you and use your information or disclosure of information at any time, you can write to us using the contact form on our website or email us.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal information if you violate our Terms of Service or if we are required to do so by law.
When you use your credit card to complete a purchase on our website, then we will automatically store your credit card data. However, it is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data related to the purchase will only be stored as long as it is necessary to complete the transaction. Afterward, the information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with the standards established by PCI-DSS, which is managed by the PCI Security Standards Council. It is a joint effort of brands like MasterCard, Discover, Visa, and American Express.
The requirements of the PCI-DSS ensure that all the credit card information is handled securely by our store and its service providers.
Our third-party service providers will collect, use and disclose your personal information to the extent required to perform their services for us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies for the information we are required to give them to perform purchase-related transactions.
In this case, we recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how they will handle and use your personal information. Furthermore, you must know that certain service providers may have facilities or may be located in a different jurisdiction than you or us. So if you proceed to use their services when making a transaction, then your personal information will be subject to the laws of their jurisdiction.
Once you leave our store’s website or you are redirected to a third-party website or application, then this Privacy Policy no longer applies to you and neither our Terms of Service.
When you click on certain links on our store, they may take you away from our website. In this case, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies before engaging with them.
We follow industry best practices and take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information to ensure it is not misused, inappropriately lost, disclosed, accessed, destroyed, or altered.
If you make a transaction on our website using your credit card information, that information is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL). Furthermore, it is stored with AES-256 encryption. We follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry-accepted standards.
