What
information is collected by Bead Jewels and how is this information
used?
We
automatically collect and store the following information about you:
the name of the domain from which you access the Internet; the date
and time you access one of our sites; and the Internet address of
the website from which you linked directly to our site. We use this
information to measure the number of visitors to our site, to better
develop the Network sites to address our users' preferences and to
attract new users, and, in some instances, to properly credit
third-parties who refer users to our site.
In
addition to the information we automatically collect any time a user
visits our site, we also ask users to voluntarily provide certain
information so that users can take full advantage of the services
and features offered at our site. Users of our site are often able
to enter contests, sign up to receive electronic newsletters,
greetings and other emails or content (such as weekly jokes), become
members, play games, and participate in chat rooms. To provide these
services to our users, we generally request that the user provide no
more than a name and an email address. We do not require any of our
users to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to
participate in an activity as a condition of participation. We use
the information collected to distribute the requested newsletter or
other content, to notify contest winners, to enable password
protected access to certain services and sections within our site,
and to provide whatever other service the user has authorized in
providing the contact information.
To
make a purchase at our site, users are asked to provide their name,
email address, mailing address, credit card number and credit card
expiration date. Once entered, this information is usually saved by
the site. When you choose to make future purchases through our site,
this information automatically appears in the appropriate spaces on
the web page within the site for placing orders.
Finally,
Bead Jewels may occasionally poll users and request background
information from users such as address, age range, gender,
occupation, interests, hobbies, etc. The provision of any such
information is always voluntary and never unnecessarily a condition
of access or use. The information collected in user polls is solely
for the internal purpose of letting Bead Jewels know who its users
are and what they like in order to be better able to serve them.
User poll information is only maintained and released by Bead
Jewels, if at all, in aggregate statistical fashion and never in any
manner that would allow for personal identification of a particular
user.
