Mervis Diamond Importers maintains high standards for the protection
of privacy over the Internet. The purpose of this statement is to
explain the types of information Mervis Diamond Importers obtains
about visitors to our websites, how the information is obtained,
how it is used, and how visitors can restrict its use or disclosure.
The only information Mervis Diamond Importers obtains about individual
visitors to our websites is information supplied voluntarily by
the visitor. This means that you can visit our websites without
telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.
To gauge the effectiveness of our websites, we do collect some non-individually-identifiable
generic information about our visitors. Our web servers automatically
recognize a visitor's domain name (such as .com, .edu, etc.), the
web page from which a visitor enters our site, which pages a visitor
visits on our site, and how much time a visitor spends on each page.
This information does not reveal a visitor's identity. We aggregate
this information and use it to evaluate and improve our websites.
You can choose to provide individually-identifiable information
to Mervis Diamond Importers in a number of ways through our websites
- by ordering an item from us, sending us e-mail, registering to
receive news, applying for a job or a grant, or entering a contest.
When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific
purpose, Mervis Diamond Importers uses the information for that
purpose (such as to provide the information the visitor has requested
or to consider a visitor for a particular job). In addition, when
visitors use our website to order items, or to request information
about our items, we may use the individually-identifiable information
as we would use the same information obtained off-line. You have
the right to choose not to receive this information by notifying
us of your preference.
We do not sell or disclose individually-identifiable information
obtained on-line about our visitors, to anyone outside of Mervis
Diamond Importers unless you specifically authorize it, it is required
by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers,
employees or property. If you provide individually-identifiable
information to us in the context of an event Mervis Diamond Importers
sponsors with another company, such as a contest, or if you register
on a co-sponsored site or feature, you may also be providing the
individually-identifiable information to the co-sponsor. This will
be made clear to you before you submit the information and you can
decide whether or not to participate.
Mervis Diamond Importers does not send unsolicited "junk" email
(spam). We may use email to communicate with our customers, to respond
to visitors' emails, to confirm orders placed online, and to send
information that a visitor has requested. If you receive an unwanted
email from us, you can simply use the reply feature on your browser
in order to ask us not to send you future emails. In the body of
your reply, simply ask us to remove you from our list. Mervis Diamond
Importers' websites may use "cookies" to improve our level of service
to visitors. Cookies are lines of text that are transmitted to your
web browser when you click on a site. Your browser stores the information
on your hard drive and when you return to that site later, the cookie
is transmitted back to the server that originally sent it to you.
Cookies provide a way for a server to recall a previous request
or previous registration, or to keep track of a transaction as it
progresses, so that information does not have to be repeated. To
be notified when you are about to receive a cookie you can configure
your browser to alert you when a site is attempting to send you
a cookie and at that time you will have the option of refusing the
cookie. You can check your hard drive for cookie files, on the "cookies.txt"
file on your PC's hard drive; or under "magic cookies" on a Macintosh.
Mervis Diamond Importers is committed to safeguarding customer privacy
on all Mervis Diamond Importers websites. We require our employees
to protect the privacy of information about our customers and expect
our partners and suppliers to do so as well. You can feel confident
that your individually-identifiable information will be protected
when you access your account or order services from us over the
Internet. We employ security measures to safeguard your transactions
with us.
The Mervis Diamond Importers websites may contain links to other
sites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices
employed by other sites.
To improve the services it can offer you, Mervis Diamond Importers
may opt to expand its capabilities for obtaining information about
users in the future. Mervis Diamond Importers will update this privacy
statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments
in this area.
Mervis Diamond Importers has adopted Privacy Principles that state
our commitment and define our policy on safeguarding customer privacy
in all of our businesses.
