How Information Fortunoff Fine Jewelry Collects Via the fortunoffjewelry.com Site Is Used

We may use personally identifiable information we collect about you when you visit and browse our website in many ways. Representative examples of the ways in which we may use personally identifiable information we collect about you when you visit and browse our website are set forth below. If you have any questions about how we use your personal information, please contact us at privacy@fortunoffjewelry.com.

Use in Connection with Completing Transactions

We may use personally identifiable information we collect about you when you visit and browse our website to complete transactions requested by you (such as your purchase of a product or service offered on the fortunoffjewelry.com site), including to authorize charges and to send orders to you or to your intended recipient, communicate information concerning order status, or to reach you if there is a problem fulfilling your order. Financial information that is collected is used to bill you for products and services.

Use in Connection with our Customer Service Incident Form

Our fortunoffjewelry.com site has a customer service incident submission form that is hosted by a third party. Information that you submit may include your name, e-mail, and free-form text describing your problem. We may use this information to research our own records and to help resolve the problem. Though incident data is stored on a third party server we administer the system and the third party is prohibited from accessing our data. We do not use information from this system for any purpose other than in connection with attempting to resolve customer service issues.

Use in Connection with Promotional Offers

We may use personally identifiable information we collect about you when you visit and browse our website to communicate promotional offers to you concerning goods and services (including special offers and promotions) either offered by us or by third parties. "Promotional communications" means communications that directly promote the use of our website, or the purchase of products or services. We may also share your information with third parties so that these third parties can communicate with you directly about such promotional offers. These promotional offers may be made by postal mail, e-mail, telephone, or other means.

We may also share your personally identifiable information with third parties so that they can send you promotional offers about goods and services (including special offers and promotions) offered by them. If we share your personally identifiable information with a third party for this purpose, your personal information will become permanently subject to the information use and sharing practices of the third party, and the third party may not be restricted by this Privacy Statement with respect to its use and further sharing of your personal information. . In the future, if you would like to opt out of receiving such communications from such third parties, you must consult such third parties’ privacy policies directly.

Use in Connection with Third Party Offers

We may also share your information with third parties when you engage in certain activities on our website that are sponsored by third parties, such as purchasing products or services offered by a third party, electing to receive information or communications from a third party, or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes, games or other programs sponsored in whole or in part by a third party. We may also share your personal information when you respond to promotional materials from us and you authorize a third party to use your personal information for purposes such as, for example, sending you additional promotional offers, providing you a product or service, or entering you in a contest, sweepstakes or game. When you participate in such promotions, you will either be required or requested to agree that the sponsor or business associate may use your personal information (including, in some cases, your e-mail address) in accordance with the sponsor or business associate's privacy practices. If you do not agree your information will not be shared and you will not be entered in such promotion.

In certain circumstances, your dealings with a third party may have authorized that third party to obtain your personal information from us and to use that information in accordance with the third party's own privacy practices and policies. For example, in using an online shopping service (such as the shopping services offered by Internet portals that refer the portal's users to third-party merchants), you may have authorized that shopping service to obtain from the service's participating third-party merchants (including us) information about your purchases conducted through the shopping service. We will provide such companies only the information that you authorized (except as separately permitted under other provisions of this Privacy Statement). In the example given above, the shopping service would be provided only information concerning purchases you made from us through that shopping service, and would not be provided any other information concerning you, unless any additional sharing of your personal information were separately permitted under another provision of this Privacy Statement.

Other Uses

Sometimes we hire companies to help deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a package or a company that helps fulfill prizes for a contest. In those instances, there is a need to share your information with these companies and by consenting to receiving the product or service, or opting in to the promotion, you authorize us to share information with these third parties to assist us in delivering the product, service or promotion. Sometimes we also work with other companies who help either gather your information or communicate with you. Except as separately permitted by the guidelines of this Privacy Statement, these companies are allowed to gather, receive, and use your information only for the purposes described in this paragraph or as permitted by law.

Finally, we may take any personally identifiable information that we collect from you when you visit and browse our website and make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals (aggregating your information with information about other individuals), or by removing characteristics (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you (de-personalizing your information). Given the nature of this information, there are no restrictions under the guidelines set forth in this Privacy Statement upon our right to aggregate or de-personalize your personal information, and we reserve the right to use and/or share with third parties the resulting non-personally identifiable information in any way.

Additional Ways Personally Identifiable Information May be Disclosed

• In Connection With A Sale of All or Part of Our Business
  At any time, we may sell all or part of our businesses and your personally identifiable information may be transferred as a part of any such sale.
