b) Other information we collect.
Site Optimization. In order to assure your visit to ORLEANSJEWELS.COM is completely satisfactory, our system automatically identifies which browser you are using, the IP (Internet Provider) you used for access, and your Operating System. We do not collect any personal information from your hard drive.
Usage Tracking. ORLEANSJEWELS.COM tracks user traffic patterns throughout our site. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our site users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue building a better site for you.
Cookies. We will place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer when placing an order. The cookie itself does not contain personal information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. In order for you to purchase items on this site, it is necessary for your browser to accept our cookie, which in this case is a harmless reference number that corresponds to your order. The number is meaningless, and it contains absolutely no information about you, your internet activities, email, or anything else. The number has meaning only to the shopping cart system, and only while you are shopping on this site. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. ORLEANSJEWELS.COM uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to place an order.
c) Third party companies.
ORLEANSJEWELS.COM does use third party companies to store data and help us provide our products and services to you. These companies do not have direct access to your data and are contractually restricted from using your information in any manner.
2. How does ORLEANSJEWELS.COM use email?
ORLEANSJEWELS.COM does not share your email address with third parties for any commercial purpose. We send one email message to confirm each order you make, and we occasionally send you follow-up messages containing information specifically related to your order (such as shipping delays). Through our checkout procedure, ORLEANSJEWELS.COM gives you the option to receive email notification on new features, specials and services. You may opt out of receiving these promotional emails at any time.
You may contact our customer service by email at INFO@ORLEANSJEWELS.COM. We encourage your communications since we use your input to improve our site, products and services. Our customer service representatives review and respond to every email that we receive.
3. How does ORLEANSJEWELS.COM protect its customer's information?
ORLEANSJEWELS.COM is committed to online data security. Although total security does not exist on the Internet, ORLEANSJEWELS.COM takes all reasonable steps to assure secure transmission and storage of your information. We protect transmission of information between your PC and our servers by utilizing industry standard efforts, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers provided by Godaddy.com. We store information relating to our customers on a high security server behind a firewall that is safeguarded from Internet access.
While we use Secure Socket Layer encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also have procedures to protect your information offline. All of your information is restricted to our offices. Only employees who need to use your information to perform a specific job (for example, billing clerks or customer service representatives) are authorized to access personally identifiable information.
As we continue to develop our business, we could buy or sell assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that ORLEANSJEWELS.COM or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. We will notify our customers if any of these situations occur.
4. Does ORLEANSJEWELS.COM protect email addresses?
When you submit your email to ORLEANSJEWELS.COM, we protect it with the same high-security methods that we protect all personal information.
