Our Policy
Last updated September 25, 2018
Sidney Garber Jewelers, Inc. (“Sidney Garber,” “us,” our” or “we”)
is committed to protecting your privacy. Our privacy policy, which
applies to all users of our Website and Service, is designed to
explain the information we collect and how we use it to provide
our services and give users a better experience (“Privacy Policy”).
Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the
meanings given in our Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy is part of,
and incorporated into, the Terms of Use.
Types of Information We Collect
We collect both "Personal Information" and "Anonymous
Information" about our users. Personal Information is information
that can be used to contact or identify you, such as your full name,
email address, phone number and payment method, as well as
information that is linked to such information. "Anonymous
Information" is information that cannot be used to contact or
identify you and is not linked to information that can be used to
do so. It includes passively collected information about your
activities on the Service, such as usage data, to the extent that
information is not linked to your Personal Information.
Website visitors can access and browse certain portions of the
Website without disclosing Personal Information, although, like
most website providers, we may passively collect certain information
from your devices, such as your IP address and browser
information. Please note that you can choose not to provide us
with certain information, but this may not allow you full utilization
of the Website and Service, and/or may limit your awareness of
new products, services, promotions and/or related updates from
Sidney Garber. All users who register with Sidney Garber are
"Registered Users."

system. We may correlate this information with other Personal
Information we have about you. We may also use cookies and
URL information to gather information regarding the date and
time you used the Service and the information for which you
searched and accessed. “Cookies” are small pieces of information
that a website sends to your device while you are viewing the
website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you
close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on
your device until you delete them) to provide you with a more

In addition to using the information collected by us

Service Providers
We share Personal Information with vendors, consultants, payment
processers and other third party service providers (collectively,
“Service Providers”) who perform services on behalf of - and at
the request of - Sidney Garber, including without limitation,
companies that provide email services and host the Website and
Service. We only provide Service Providers with Personal
Information that is necessary for them to undertake the particular
work that we have assigned to them. In order words, Personal
Information is only provided on a need-to-know basis. Sidney Garber
has selected companies who maintain high standards with
respect to privacy and agree to use the Personal Information only
to perform specific services on behalf of Sidney Garber and
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
Compliance with Laws, Law Enforcement and Safety
We may disclose information we have collected about you
if required to do so by law or if we, in our sole discretion, believe that
disclosure is reasonable to comply with the law, requests or orders
from law enforcement, or any legal process (whether or not such
disclosure is required by applicable law), or to protect or defend
Sidney Garber's, or a third party's, rights or property.
Anonymous information
Aggregated Anonymous Information is the combination of your
Anonymous Information with the Anonymous Information of
other users (“Aggregated Anonymous Information”). Aggregated
Anonymous Information does not allow you to be identified or
contacted. We may share such Aggregated Anonymous Information
with third parties.
Business transactions
In the future, we may share all or some of your Personal
Information with any of our subsidiaries, joint venturers, or other
companies under common control, in which case we will require them
to honor this Privacy Policy. Additionally, in the event we
undergo a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by
another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your
Personal Information may be among the assets transferred.
You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and are permitted
by this Privacy Policy, and that any entity that acquires us, is merged
with us or that acquires our assets may continue to process your
Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Your Choices
By becoming a Registered User, you consent to receive certain
communications from us. You may modify or opt out of receiving
messages sent for marketing purposes, or certain other
communications, by adjusting your Account settings or following
the unsubscribe instructions in such messages. Please note that
despite any indicated marketing preferences, we may send you
administrative emails regarding the Website or Service, including,
for example, notices of updates to our Privacy Policy.
Updating Your Personal Information
You may update, correct, or delete your Personal Information at any time
by adjusting your Account settings or by contacting us
directly at webservices@sidneygarber.com. However, please note that we
may be required to maintain certain Personal Information, or to maintain
certain Personal Information for a period of time, in which case we
will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such
requirements. When we delete any information, it will be deleted from
our active database, but may remain in our archives. We may retain your
information for fraud detection or similar purposes. Note that if we have
already disclosed some of your Personal Information to third parties, we
cannot access that Personal Information any longer and cannot
compel the deletion or modification of any such information by the
parties to whom we have made those disclosures.
Children
This Website is not directed or intended for children under 13
years of age. We do not knowingly solicit, collect or maintain
information from those we actually know are under 13, and no
part of our Website is targeted to attract anyone under 13. We also
do not send e-mail correspondence to anyone who advises that
they are under the age of 13. If we later obtain actual knowledge
that a user is under 13 years of age, we will take steps to remove
that user’s Personal Information from our systems and delete the
Account. If you are the parent or guardian of a child whom you
believe has disclosed Personal Information to us, please contact us at webservices@sidneygarber.com so that we may delete and
remove such information from our system.
Security and Data Retention
We are very concerned with safeguarding your information. We
employ all reasonable administrative, physical and electronic
measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized
access. We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach
of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted
electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable state
statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or
conspicuous posting on the Website in the most expedient time
possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as it is consistent
with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any
measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and
restore the reasonable integrity of the data system. Although
guaranteed security does not exist either on or off the Internet, we
make commercially reasonable efforts to make the collection and
security of such information consistent with this Privacy Policy
and all applicable laws and regulations.
Third Party Materials
Sidney Garber may provide links to other websites, or content and
materials, that are owned and/or operated by third parties (“Third
Party Materials”). Sidney Garber does not investigate or monitor
such Third Party Materials, and therefore is not responsible or liable
for the same. Moreover, Sidney Garber is not responsible for the
privacy practices employed by third party websites, nor are we
responsible for the information or content they contain. This
Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through
the Website and Service; thus, when you use a link to go from our
Website to another third party website, this Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect. We encourage users to read and consider
the privacy policies of these other websites before using them.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change, modify, add or remove portions of
this Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice, and any changes
will become effective immediately upon being posted
unless we advise you otherwise. However, we will not use
your Personal Information in an adverse, materially different way
from the uses described in this Privacy Policy without giving you
an opportunity to opt out. Your continued use of the Service after
this Privacy Policy has been amended shall be deemed to be your
continued acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Privacy
Policy, as amended. We encourage you to bookmark this webpage
and review this Privacy Policy regularly.
