Your privacy is just as important to us as it is to you
Because we take it so seriously, we’ve written this notice so that you understand our online information practices and what choices you can make regarding how your information is collected and utilized.
We want you to have a great experience on our website, which includes adding interactive or personalizing content. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (including your name, e-mail address, street address, and/or telephone number) to identify you, subject to the terms of this privacy policy. But, we want you to know that we will never sell, rent, or barter your email address to any unauthorized third party. Ever.
How do we gather information?
Our data collection methods can change depending on the page that you’re are visiting and/or what activities your doing while on this website. For example, if you want to receive our newsletter, then you will need to tell us who you are and where you want us to send it (this is considered Personally Identifiable Information and this is one of the ways we use it). You might provide personal information when you participate in blog commenting, authoring posts, forums, contests, emailing us, or on other portions of our website.
Like other websites, Vintage-Charm-Jewelry.com may collect information from you automatically when you visit our website without you even knowing it. We can do this through the use of cookie technology.
What’s cookie technology you ask? It’s not a tasty baked good usually shared with a glass of milk. In this case, cookie technology refers to a small text file (cookie) that is sent by us to you and then returned by you to us every time you visit our website. This cookie stores information about you and can be used for visitor authentication purposes, session tracking, and/or for maintaining certain information about our website visitors. If you really want to know more, here’s a link to a wiki article explaining more about cookies:
Some of the information this cookie might share includes data to recognize you, to track and store information about your visit to this website, or it might control the amount of and/or type of advertising that is displayed to you during your visit. We also want you to know that we may use new technologies to track even more information about you whenever and wherever we can. Yes, we like you and want to know about you.
You might not know this, but you can control cookie information. By adjusting your computers web browser security settings to refuse cookies, you can block these cookies in the first place. You should also know that by refusing cookies, you might make certain portions of our website unusable, or you may be repeatedly asked to enter your user name and password, or we may not be able to customize any of our websites features for you. Just so you know, the data we collect is usually harmless, but it’s your choice on whether to share it or not.
So what do we do with all of this information stuff?
I know it sounds like we’re spying on you – and we are – but only just a little. We need to know this stuff so that we can build a better website. We want to make your experience visiting us more enjoyable by delivering more individual content and/or advertising tailored specifically for you. But don’t worry – we will make reasonable efforts to keep your information secure and not share it with anyone unless we need to.
Just so you know, most of information we collect is called Aggregated Information. This type of information is a combination of all of our visitor information piled together and it does not personally identify you (or anyone). We really like this information because it lets us know cool stuff like which web pages views, how long visitors stayed a specific page, or which features our visitors liked the most. Knowing this information lets us provide more of the good stuff you want.
Since Aggregated Information does not personally identify any of our website visitors (including you) we may occasionally share this information with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually so you have nothing to worry about.
By the way, we only collect your Personal Identifiable Information when you give it to us. Some of the ways we use this information include, but are not limited to responding to your inquiries, providing excellent customer service, resolving complaints, fixing technical problems, processing transactions, administering contests, administering this websites Terms of Use, or through other communications like marketing stuff we think you might like. But don’t worry; we will only use your information only as permitted by law. You should also know that as we continue to develop our business, we may buy, sell, merge, or partner with other companies or businesses and your user information may be among the transferred assets. Your information may also be disclosed in compliance with any applicable law and/or regulation including government officials and agencies or when we think it’s necessary to do so. When this happens, we probably won’t let you know before disclosing the information.
3rd party websites and other stuff we can’t control
Vintage-Charm-Jewelry.com expects our partners, affiliates, and advertisers to respect your privacy too. However, these 3rd parties (and/or other content providers) may have their own set of rules for privacy and data collection. We strongly suggest you read the privacy policy of any website you are about to share your Personally Identifiable Information on (including websites accessed thought this websites links, advertising, contests, or other features). Because these are 3rd parties (and stuff we don’t own), we are not responsible for anything bad that may happen to you. You’ve been warned so don’t call us about it.
While we’re on the subject of Personally Identifiable Information, you should also know that by accessing this website, some of our partners, affiliates, and advertisers may use their own cookies (or other technology) to track you, identify your preferences, and/or retrieve information about you. We can’t control this stuff either (because it’s also not ours) so we’re not responsible for anything bad that might happen to you or the data they collected. Sorry, out of our hands.
Google Adsense and the DoubleClick DART Cookie
Google, as a 3rd party advertisement vendor and they use cookies to serve ads on this site. The use of DART cookies by Google enables them to serve adverts to visitors that are based on their visits to this website as well as other sites on the internet.
To opt out of the DART cookies you should visit the Google ad and content network privacy policy website. Tracking of users through the DART cookie mechanisms are subject to Google’s own privacy policies.
Have we mentioned common sense yet?
If you voluntarily disclose your personal information on any comment, post, article, message board, forum, or anywhere else you could possibly mange to leave your personal information, that information can be potentially viewed by everyone in the world. The information can be collected and used by people we don’t even know, without our knowledge, and may result in you received unsolicited messages or other bad stuff we don’t condone. There is nothing we can do about this since its way out of our control and beyond the scope of this policy. Use your head and act responsibly with your personal information.
Children under 13
We like kids, but Vintage-Charm-Jewelry.com does not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13, except as permitted by law. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personally Identifiable Information to us (in accordance with the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPA) – refer to the Federal Trade Commission website), we will delete the child’s Personally Identifiable Information from our files to the extent technologically possible.

Privacy Policy updates
We are allowed to change this policy (and anything else on this website) at anytime without letting you know. If we do make changes to this policy, then you are bound by those new policies too. Any information we may have collected prior to a policy change will continue to be used according to the rules you agreed to at the time of data collection. If you’re worried about policy changes, then we suggest you visit this page often and re-read it for the latest privacy rules.
Disputes and other legal stuff
If a problem does arise and legal recourse is the only answer, we will both follow these rules:
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
To the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Vintage-Charm-Jewelry.com and/or its affiliates’ intellectual property rights, Vintage-Charm-Jewelry.com and/or its affiliates may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of Nevada, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Any other disputes will be resolved as follows:
If a dispute arises under this agreement, we agree to first try to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in the following location: Clark County, Nevada. Any costs and fees other than attorney fees associated with the mediation will be shared equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, we agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration at the following location: Clark County, Nevada, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court with jurisdiction to do so.
If all of this sounds mean or foreboding, you should have seen what our lawyers wanted to print! And by the way, if you can’t agree to these rules, then you need to go to another website. Nothing personal, but we can’t have you here.
