CUSTOMGIA INTERNET PRIVACY POLICY
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for visiting CUSTOMGIA's ("we" or "our") website (the "site"). This Site is the property of Value Play Design, LLC, d/b/a CUSTOMGIA, located at 11 Paterson Avenue, 2nd Floor - Loft, Midland Park, NJ 07432. This policy describes CUSTOMGIA's privacy practices regarding information collected from users of this Site. This policy describes what information is collected and how that information is used. Because this privacy policy only applies to this Site, you should examine the privacy policy of any external website, including any other website owned by Value Play Design, LLC, that you access using this Site.
You may only use this Site if you are at least 13 years old. The jewelry featured on this Site is not intended for children under the age of 13.
By accessing this Site, you agree to be bound by and consent to our Privacy Policy.
For purposes of this policy, Personally Identifying Information ("PII") means any information which can be used to identify you, including but not limited to your name, address, email address or telephone number, birth date, gender, and if necessary, credit card payment information. We only collect PII about you when you provide that information voluntarily by sending an e-mail or by initiating an online transaction, such as by filling out an online order form for custom products. [We may also combine the PII we collect with publicly available information and data that we may receive. Any information we receive from other sources and combine with the PII we collect through our site is protected by this Privacy Policy.]
We may also passively and automatically collect and store Anonymous Information ("AI") about your use of this Site. The types of anonymous information that we collect may include the following:
The AI that we collect is used to help us understand our customers' use of this Site and to improve our site content. This information is collected for statistical analysis and to determine what information is of interest to our customers. This Anonymous Information is not collected to sell to third parties.
We may collect such AI by placing a "cookie" on your computer's hard drive. A cookie is a small data text file that helps our servers remember information about you and your preferences. If you prefer, you may change your browser settings to reject cookies, but to do so may reduce the functionality of this Site. Additionally, we may use other means of AI collection, such as internet tags, which give us general information about how the Site is being used, but do not contain PII.
We may employ or work with other companies that utilize third party tracking technology to post online advertising about our products on the Internet. In doing so, these third parties may collect AI about your visits to our site and your interactions with our communications and advertising.
CUSTOMGIA does not knowingly collect personal information from children or create profiles of children through this Site. Users are cautioned, however, that the collection of personal information submitted in an e-mail or through an online transaction will be treated as though it was submitted by an adult. CUSTOMGIA strongly encourages parents to be involved in children's Internet activities and to provide guidance whenever children are asked to provide personal information online.
During your visit to this Site you may register and create a profile, send an e-mail to CUSTOMGIA or initiate an online order of CUSTOMGIA products. PII that you provide and the contents of your message and profile information will be collected. The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include audio, video, and graphic information formats included in any email message or online order. Your PII collected from these transactions will be used to respond to you, to address issues you identify, to improve this Site or our business, customize your shopping experience, communicate with you about your purchases, account information, or communicate with you in the future about our special promotions, products or sales. Your PII may be transmitted to and shared with third parties who handle our shipping, data and IT management, promotional outreach, and marketing.
In addition, we may sometimes disclose information as required by law or by court order or in connection with fraud protection or investigations.
During your visit to this Site you may initiate a transaction such as submitting a custom order form and credit card payment information. This information, including PII, volunteered by you in initiating the transaction is used by CUSTOMGIA to provide goods, services, and information. The PII collected by CUSTOMGIA may be disclosed by CUSTOMGIA for those purposes that may be reasonably ascertained from the nature and terms of the transaction in connection with which the information was submitted. Your credit card information may be transmitted to and shared with third parties who handle our credit card processing.
Users who have registered and created a profile with CUSTOMGIA may create custom designs for jewelry pieces, rate jewelry designs and leave comments about such designs or share designs with friends through email or on Facebook. CUSTOMGIA will not monitor the comments left by users of this Site, but if it comes to the attention of CUSTOMGIA that comments have been left which, in the sole discretion of CUSTOMGIA, are inappropriate, contain foul language or obscenity, CUSTOMGIA reserves the right to delete same from this Site.
CUSTOMGIA does not collect any PII about you during your visit to this Site unless you provide that information voluntarily by sending an e-mail or initiating an online transaction such as a survey, registration, or order form. You may choose not to register and create an online profile, send us an e-mail, respond to a survey, or complete an order form. While your choice not to participate in these activities may limit your ability to receive specific services or products through this Site, it will not prevent you from requesting services or products from CUSTOMGIA by other means and will not normally have an impact on your ability to take advantage of other features of the Site, including browsing.
If you wish to modify or delete the information you provided during registration, simply log into your account and update your profile. If you do not wish to be contacted by or receive information from CUSTOMGIA in the future, you may unsubscribe from our mailing list by clicking the "UNSUBSCRIBE" link in any email from CUSTOMGIA.
CUSTOMGIA is committed to protecting personal information collected through this Site against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Consequently, CUSTOMGIA limits employee access to personal information collected through this Site to only those employees who need access to the information in the performance of their job. Third party access may take place as described above.
Although no online data transmissions can be completely secure, we attempt to keep your PII, and especially your credit card information, secure and free from unauthorized access. Your credit card information is transmitted to us via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and encrypted in our databases.
For website security purposes and to maintain the availability of the Site for all users, CUSTOMGIA employs software to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise damage this Site.
We reserve the right to make changes to our Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to bookmark this page so that on future visits you may check back to see any changes to this Privacy Policy.
The information provided in this privacy policy should not be construed as giving business, legal, or other advice, or warranting as fail proof, the security of information provided through this Site.
