Generally, we use the information we collect about you for two purposes: to facilitate your order and to create a better, more personalized experience for you. We abide by the following principles:
1. What is Personal information?
Personal information (or personally identifiable information) includes information or Submissions (defined by our Terms & Conditions), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or Submission.
2. Collection of your personal information
2.1 We only collect personal information that is necessary for what we do.
2.2 The type of information we may collect from you when you place an order online or in store can include (but is not limited to) the following:
(a) your contact information, including your name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number;
(b) financial and billing information, including credit card number, expiration date, security code, purchasing history, bank account details, and driver's license number, invoice details and credit history if you apply for or use our retail credit services;
(c) your date of birth;
(d) your insurance policies and details, if applicable;
(e) your participation in, or response to, our marketing and promotional activities, such as entering into a promotional contest;
(f) your purchases and/or use of the services we offer; or
(g) other employment or financial details obtained as a result of any application you may make for credit.
This enables us to process your order and to notify you regarding its status (e.g., that it is on its way, or if we are temporarily out of stock, etc.).
2.3 When you engage in certain activities on our web site or in-store, such as ordering jewelry, entering a contest or promotion, filling out a survey or sending us a Submission, we may ask you to provide certain information. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities.
2.4 If you elect to engage in these activities, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address, em5il address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information.
2.5 Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity or any other information we require in order for us to provide our services to you, we may be unable to effectively provide our services to you or you may not be able to engage in that activity.
2.6 If you use our Website, we utilize "cookies" which enable us to monitor traffic patterns and to serve you more efficiently if you revisit the site. A cookie does not identify you personally but it does identify your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and this will provide you with an opportunity to either accept or reject it in each instance. There are two types of cookies, session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookie files, which are erased when you close your browser. When you restart your browser and go back to our site, the website will not recognize you. You will have to log back in to your account and select your preferences. A new session cookie will be generated, which will store your browsing information and will be active until you leave the site and close your browser. Persistent cookies are just that, persistent. These files stay in one of your browser’s subfolders until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them based on the duration period contained within the persistent cookie’s file. They permit you visit our website over and over again and be recognized as a previous visitor and may permit you to access your account without having to log in over and over again. We use persistent cookies to enable basic web traffic analysis using Google Analytics which, for example, shows us which areas of our website are popular against those that are not visited often. This allows us to prioritize our enhancements to our website and increase the productivity of our website. We also use persistent cookies in relation to affiliate marketing with web based traffic through affiliate networks.
2.7 We may gather your IP address as part of our business activities and to assist with the operational difficulties or support issues with our services. This information does not identify you personally.
2.8 Occasionally we provide links on our website to other sites we think you will enjoy. These sites operate independently of us and have established their own privacy and security policies.
