Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At Jewelry DIYs (JDIYs) we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it (newsletter sign-up, contact forms)
• We do not share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We do not store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

It is JDIY’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, JDIYs collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use our website.

JDIYs also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. We only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to JDIYs’s website choose to interact with us in ways that require JDIYs to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive JDIYs updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, JDIYs collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with us. JDIYs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

JDIYs may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, JDIYs may monitor the most popular pages on the jewelrydiys.com site or use spam screened by the AntiSpam Bee service to help identify spam. JDIYs may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, JDIYs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information.

JDIYs discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on JDIYs’s behalf or to provide services available at JDIYs’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using JDIYs’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to it. JDIYs will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, JDIYs discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when JDIYs believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of JDIYs’s, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of JDIYs’s website and have supplied your email address, JDIYs may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what is going on with JDIYs and its products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. JDIYs takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
