What
information is collected by Savi Gems 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,
Savi Gems 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 Savi Gems
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
Savi Gems, if at all, in aggregate statistical
fashion and never in any manner that would allow
for personal identification of a particular
user.
