How we use the information

Jewels 4 Charity may request personal information, including your name, shipping address, telephone number, e-mail address, billing address, and credit card number and expiration date. Jewels 4 Charity collects that information in order to:

• Process an order;
• Verify your identity for payment authorization;
• Contact you regarding your order status;
• Ship your order to you;
• Send you news from J4C (if you request);
• Generate anonymous statistics used solely to help Jewels 4 Charity improve their program and merchandise offerings; and
• Provide you with an excellent shopping experience.

Once Jewels 4 Charity gathers your name and address, this information will be transferred to your credit card company, if applicable, for confirmation to complete your purchase. Your shipping information may also be supplied to a third-party fulfillment center, but your name and address will not be used for any other purpose than delivery of your order. Your name and address will not be sold to mailing-list firms. Although Jewels 4 Charity may occasionally share statistics about our customers with important business partners, we do not disclose any identifying information about individual customers.

Third party privacy polices

So you can understand how those Web sites collect, use, and share your information, Jewels 4 Charity encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Jewels 4 Charity.
