Security and Privacy Policy of Noble House Jewelry Ltd, Kansas City

Security

For your protection, all orders and personal information provided on the Noble House Jewelry Sites and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL), encryption technology to protect your personal information during data transmittal. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address and credit card number. To be sure that your order is secure, check your web browser while you are in the ordering section. Most browsers use a symbol to indicate that you are on a secured web site. For example, Netscape and Internet Explorer use icons in the bottom left hand corner of your browser to communicate to you that the site is secured. Also, when the letters “http” in the URL change to “https,” the “s” indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL. We strongly recommend that Macintosh users place their online orders using Safari or Firefox browsers, because these browsers allow us to offer our customers the highest level of security; some other browsers prevent users from viewing secure pages during the checkout process. Live chat functionality on the Noble House Jewelry Site operates over a private, secure network. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

We are committed to handling your personal information with high standards of information security. We take reasonable physical, electronic and administrative steps to maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access.

Only authorized Noble House Jewelry representatives and agents working on Noble House Jewelry’s behalf have access to the data. Noble House Jewelry representatives and agents will not share information with any third parties outside of Noble House Jewelry, other than as set forth in this Security and Privacy Policy. If at any time you provide a third party’s personal information to us, you warrant that you have permission to do so and you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Noble House Jewelry from and against any claim, liability, cost and expense arising in connection with your provision of that information.

For purposes of forums, discussion boards, certain promotions, and other public interactive areas that may be available on the Noble House Jewelry Sites from time to time, you are solely responsible for the information and other content you post on or through the Noble House Jewelry Sites. You understand that personal and other information that you post on or through public areas of our site are generally accessible to, and may be collected and used by, others and may result in unsolicited messages or other contact from others. Users of the Noble House Jewelry Sites are encouraged to exercise caution when posting personal information about themselves in public areas.

Personal Information We Collect and Why

Generally, you may browse the Noble House Jewelry Sites without providing any personally identifiable information. However, we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information at various times and places on the Noble House Jewelry Sites. In some cases, if you choose not to provide us with the requested information, you may not be able to access all of the areas on the Noble House Jewelry Sites or participate in all of its features. When you visit and use the Noble House Jewelry Sites, we may need to collect certain personal information from you in order to provide and improve upon our products, our inventory and services. How we collect this information will depend on how you choose to use our services and interact with us, including the services and opportunities we might provide on the Noble House Jewelry Sites. We may collect personal information that you provide to us directly when you make purchases from us, including via telephone, fax, email, or through your use of and interaction with us on the Noble House Jewelry Sites. Such personal information may include, but is not limited to, your name, home and/or business address, phone number, email address, date of birth, driver’s license or other government-issued identification information for the purpose of verifying identity, and payment and credit card information. We may also record information that details your purchases. We may also collect personal information you provide while using the Noble House Jewelry Sites, such as information you provide during an online transaction, any online account information, e-mail addresses, and other information you might provide to us. For example, we may require your name and e-mail address to add you to an e-mail newsletter list. In the case of placing an order, this information is essential for verification and shipping purposes, and we may also need to contact you about your order. We will store your shipping and billing information if you create an account with us, but this information will not be used by anyone but Noble House Jewelry and the third parties who provide services related to the Noble House Jewelry Sites as described herein. On feedback and referral forms, certain items are necessary and others are optional. Users who register to receive information via a wireless device may be asked to submit a cell phone number to receive text messages. We may also offer the option to interact with one of our representatives directly while using the Noble House Jewelry Sites in order to ask questions, request information, and to assist you in making a purchase or using our services.

At checkout, we require the credit card customer identification number (CIN) with every online purchase made with American Express, MasterCard and Visa Cards. The CIN is a 3 or 4 digit, numeric value that provides a cryptographic check of the information embossed on the card. This security feature is designed to protect you against consumer fraud. Neither your credit card number nor your CIN will be stored or maintained on any of our systems and you will need to provide each number every time you use a credit card to make a purchase on Noble House Jewelry Sites.

You can access many features on the Noble House Jewelry Sites without providing personal information to us, but doing so may prevent you from making full use of all the online features and/or promotions we offer and may limit our ability to provide you with the level of service that you would otherwise expect from us. In short, the information we gather is all designed to help us deliver attentive customer service.

Cookies/Site Usage Data and Collection of Non-Personal Information

Your Choices Regarding Use of the Information We Collect

You may opt-out of having your personal information used for commercial purposes. If you would prefer not to be contacted about our special offers, products or services, or if your personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), you may correct, update or delete/deactivate your personally identifiable information at any time by notifying us via the “Contact Us” form elsewhere in this Noble House Jewelry Site or at the e-mail address provided within any communication we send you. If you’ve signed up for mobile messaging (e.g., SMS and MMS) offers but later decide you no longer wish to receive them, simply follow the opt-out instructions included in the mobile message.

If you use more than one e-mail address, send your opt-out e-mail from each of your e-mail addresses. If you receive any online newsletter or similar promotional e-mail communication from us, you will always be given the option to “unsubscribe” from receiving further e-mail communications from us at any time. Your option not to receive promotional and marketing material will not preclude us from corresponding with you, by e-mail or otherwise, regarding your existing or past business relationships with us (e.g., any purchase of our products or use of our services, or responses to requests for information you pose to us either through use of the Noble House Jewelry Sites or by other means), and will not preclude us from accessing and viewing your personal information in the course of maintaining and improving the Noble House Jewelry Sites, our products or our services.

Because customer lists generally are prepared well in advance of a communication, eblast or offer, you may continue to receive some offers after you send us a request not to use your information for specified marketing purposes. We appreciate your patience and understanding in giving us time to implement your request.

We also may disclose information to outside companies that help us bring you the products and services we offer, to your company or organization if you use our services under a corporate or other commercial account, and in connection with any services or products you purchase from us, to your credit card issuer, credit reporting and fraud checking agencies. We require that these outside companies agree to keep confidential all information we share with them and to use the information only to perform their obligations in the agreements. We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in connection with a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of assets, reorganization or liquidation of our business. We reserve the right to disclose any personal information as needed if that information is requested by law enforcement agencies or if we are required to do so by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or by a government entity.
