JEWELRY.COM PRIVACY STATEMENT
Introduction
At Jewelry.com we are committed to providing you
comprehensive information on jewelry, style and fashion
while respecting and protecting your privacy. To better
serve you, we may collect and maintain certain information
regarding, for instance, your jewelry and style preferences,
dates of special occasions related to people for whom you
may buy gifts, etc. Under no circumstances do we sell or rent
this information to third parties, and we strictly protect
the confidentiality of this information. Our full privacy
policy is detailed below. We may update this policy from time
to time. Please check this site periodically for changes. Those
users who do not sign in as members - or members who change
e-mail addresses - will not receive notice of policy changes.
Information Collection and Use
Jewelry.com, a division of Andin International, Inc.
("Jewelry.com") is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Jewelry.com collects information from our users at
several different points on our website.
Users may elect to provide information at three different levels. First, users may choose to not actively provide us any information, and will still be able to use most site activities. In this case we will simply collect and store the user's IP (Internet Protocol) address and use this to track aggregate information that is not personally identifiable with the individual user. Certain functions of the site may not be accessible without divulging information.
Second, users may elect to simply provide a zip code and no other information. This will allow Jewelry.com to better present product available locally to that user. The zip code will be stored using a cookie (see "cookies" below).
Third, in order to use all of the features of this website, a user must first fully complete the registration form. During such "full" registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional, but encouraged, for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. To complete full registration, a cookie must be set and users must allow cookies in order to become full-fledged registered members.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in
no way linked to any personally identifiable information while
on our site. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the
user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby
saving time while on our site. If a user rejects or disables the
cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is
that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example,
the user will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, or
certain other promotions that take place. Cookies can also enable us to
track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site.
We do not allow third-party cookies (i.e. cookies set by another party that are out of our control) to be used on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person.
From time to time, we partner with another party to provide specific services, for example, contest and giveaway fulfillment. When the user takes action on our site requiring use of these services, we will share names, or other contact information with these services. Use of site functions requiring these services is purely voluntary, and such sharing will always be noted during the sign-up process. Jewelry.com will only share information in this way with partners who agree to safeguard that shared information as outlined in this privacy policy.
At various times, the user may be offered the opportunity to permit third parties to contact them. This might be to receive relevant information on product, services, or for other purposes. This is a purely voluntary action, and user information will only be provided to these third parties upon explicit permission from the user such as by return e-mail or clickwrap agreement.
On rare occasions we may be required to disclose customer information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. Also, if the ownership of all or part of any business within the Andin International Family were to change, customer information pertinent to that business's operations would likely be transferred to, or licensed for use by, the new owner.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. When you provide
personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy
of the operator of that site, not the Jewelry.com privacy policy. We encourage
you to read that site's policy before deciding whether to provide any personal
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by
on the Jewelry.com Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address. To unsubscribe to the newsletter,
please see "Opt-Out" below.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information and thus participate in the survey or contest. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address),
and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our
site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. Jewelry.com will
automatically send the friend email inviting them to visit the site.
Jewelry.com stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this email.
The friend may contact Jewelry.com to request the removal of this information
from our database.
Children's Privacy
We will not knowingly collect any personal information from those under
the age of 18.
Security
This website takes every reasonable precaution to protect our users'
information. When users (you) submit sensitive information via the website,
their (your) information is protected both online and off-line.
Please note that as a non-e-commerce site, Jewelry.com does not ever request sensitive information such as social security number, credit card information or other financial data. Any personally identifiable data submitted while on the Jewelry.com site is transmitted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to protect its security.
We also do have procedures in place to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to security@Jewelry.com.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and
username. Established members will occasionally receive information on
products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for
the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these
types of communications. Please see opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members
are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which
contain important information about the service. We may communicate
with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues
relating to their membership via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as
your address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will
provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personally
identifiable data that has been provided to us. This can usually be
done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer
Support.
Opt-Out
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or other emails
about special offers from us may opt-out of receiving these
communications by visiting http://www.Jewelry.com/unsubscribe.html
Notification of Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will send an email
(per "Site and Service Updates" above) to all members. We will post
the new privacy policy on this site, and provide a link from that
new policy to this policy for a period of 30 days after the change.
