Privacy Policy

Jewels Branch LLC (“Jewels Branch”) operates multiple websites including jewelsbranch.com. It is Jewels Branch’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Jewels Branch 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. Jewels Branch’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Jewels Branch’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Jewels Branch may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Jewels Branch also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on JewelsBranch.com blog posts. Jewels Branch only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Jewels Branch’s websites choose to interact with Jewels Branch in ways that require Jewels Branch to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Jewels Branch gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at jewelsbranch.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Jewels Branch – by purchasing access to courses or other services, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Jewels Branch collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Jewels Branch. Jewels Branch 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

Jewels Branch may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. However, Jewels Branch does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Jewels Branch 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 Jewels Branch’s behalf or to provide services available at Jewels Branch’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 Jewels Branch’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Jewels Branch 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, Jewels Branch discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Jewels Branch believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Jewels Branch, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Jewels Branch website and have supplied your email address, Jewels Branch may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new products & services, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Jewels Branch and our products. 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. Jewels Branch takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

We use the Facebook Pixel to to record information about the way visitors use our website. For this reason, each of our web pages contains Facebook Pixel code. This pixel records information about the user’s browser session, which it sends to Facebook, along with a hashed version of the Facebook ID and the URL viewed. Every Facebook user has a unique, device-independent Facebook ID that allows us to address and recognize users across a range of devices using the Facebook social network, so that we can address our visitors for commercial purposes using Facebook ads. The user information will be deleted after 180 days, until the user visits our website again. “Custom Audience from Your Website” respects your privacy. Thus, no personal information about individual visitors to the website will be disclosed to Jewels Branch and Jewels Branch can only advertise to website customer target groups in a targeted way once the customer target group has reached a critical mass. This makes it impossible for Jewels Branch to discover the identity of individual visitors. More information on the Facebook Pixel is available at https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616

We use Facebook Custom Audiences to deliver advertisements to Website Visitors on Facebook based on email addresses that we have collected.  You may learn more about Facebook Custom Audiences by visiting https://www.facebook.com/help/381385302004628/, and you may opt-out of receiving advertisements from Jewels Branch based on your email address by contacting us, see How to Reach Us section below.
