PRIVACY POLICY

PRIVACY & COOKIE POLICY

 

Here at Jewel Divas Style we don’t collect anything except, well…we collect a lot of things, actually. Not sure how much info we actually do collect, but it wouldn’t be much. There will be a newsletter or email list at some point this year, but, for the sake of legality, here’s our policy.

 

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors, readers, and users. Any data you send us will be used in a lawful way, we won’t do anything with it that we did not tell you about in advance, and it will all remain private unless you give us permission to send specific data to a third party for a good reason.

We use cookies, or pieces of code that records your preferences, on our website, but we will ask for your consent to their use when you first visit us.

There are laws around the world restricting what we can do with your data (your email address, name, phone number, and other identifying information), and the policy below complies with current laws.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We may process information you gave us in subscribing to our email notifications and/or newsletters. We may process data about your use of our website through a third-party analytics tracking system, such as Google Analytics. We may process your profile data, which will include your name and email address and possibly your phone number and any other demographic information you voluntarily provided to us. This information is used only to provide you with our services and communicate with you.

Security of Personal Data

We will take appropriate technical and organizational precautions to secure your personal data and to prevent its loss, misuse, or alteration. We will store all your personal data on secure servers, personal computers and mobile devices, and in secure manual record-keeping systems. Data relating to your enquiries and financial transactions that is sent from your web browser to our web server, or from our web server to your web browser, will be protected using encryption technology. You acknowledge that the transmission of unencrypted data over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee its security. You should ensure that your password is not susceptible to being guessed, whether by a person or a computer program. You are responsible for keeping the password you use for accessing our website confidential and we will not ask you for your password (except when you log in to our website).

Your principal rights under data protection law are:

  • The right to access: You have the right to confirm the personal data we have on you and we must provide access if you request it.
  • The right to rectification: You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you corrected and to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.
  • The right to erasure: Also known as the “right to be forgotten,” you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay for any reason. There are a few exceptions to this right, though, if we are complying with a legal obligation or defending against a legal claim.
  • The right to restrict processing: In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. That could happen if you contest the accuracy of the data or we no longer need the data, but you would like it retained for legal reasons.
  • The right to object to processing: If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.
  • The right to complain to a supervisory authority: If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection.
  • The right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to handle your data at any time.

Third party websites

Our website includes hyperlinks to, and details of, third party websites. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the privacy policies and practices of third parties.

Personal data of children

Our website and services are targeted at persons over the age of 16. If we have reason to believe that we hold personal data of a person under that age in our databases, we will delete it.

 

What’s a cookie?

A cookie is a yummy flour/egg/water/flavouring concoction that we call a biscuit here in Aus. 

Oh, wait, you mean the electronic cookie…

A “cookie” is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive which records how you move your way around a website so that when you revisit that website it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.
