Introduction and Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Benqubi Gems, LLC ("Benqubi Gems," "we," "our," or "us") collects, why we gather this information, and how we use the information we collect as well as your rights and choices regarding such information. Our Privacy Policy applies to our collection of your information in our stores, on our website, our collection of your information via any channel that you may interact with us, including but not limited to postal mail, email, phone, live or automated chat, SMS/MMS/text, social media platforms and your use of any Benqubi Gems online service location that posts a link to this Privacy Policy and all features, content, and other services that we own, control, or make available via any channel (collectively, the "Services"). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you.
By using the Services or interacting with us offline, you agree to our Terms and Conditions and our collection, use, and disclosure practices and other activities described in this Privacy Policy. If you disagree and consent, discontinue use of the Services.
Benqubi Gems encourages you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to learn about our privacy practices. If you are a California resident, Nevada resident, or data subject in Europe, please see the "Additional Disclosures for California Residents," "Additional Disclosures for Nevada Residents," and "Additional Disclosures for Data Subjects in Europe" sections. If you have questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please get in touch with Benqubi Gems as outlined in the "Contact Us" section below.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We collect Personal Information you provide directly via the Services, including but not limited to when you register for an account, update your profile, access our content, make a purchase, participate in a sweepstakes, contest, survey, or other Promotion ("Promotion"), contact customer support, sign up for our text messaging program, or apply for a job. We may use Service Providers (defined below) to collect this information.
The following is a list of the categories of Personal Information we may collect and may have accumulated in the last 12 months:
Contact Data. We collect your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number (and mobile carrier if you enroll in our text messaging program), and other similar contact data.
Credentials. We collect passwords and other information for authentication and account access.
Demographic Data. We collect demographic information, including age, birth month and day, gender, and country.
Payment Data. We collect data necessary to process your payment if you make a purchase, including your payment instrument number (such as a credit card number or information identifying your financing account) and the security code and expiration date associated with your payment instrument.
Profile Data. We collect your interests, favorites, wish lists, ring size preferences, and other profile data.
Contacts. We collect data about your contacts to fulfill a request by you. For example, when you email a product to a friend or refer a friend through the Services, we request that you provide names and email addresses for you and your friend. This helps ensure your friend knows you asked Benqubi Gems to send them an email. The information Benqubi Gems collects from you and your friend will only be used as this Privacy Policy outlines. By using this functionality, you acknowledge and agree that you have your contacts' consent for us to utilize their contact information to fulfill your request.
Content. We collect the content of messages you send to us, such as feedback and product reviews you write, messages sent through our text messaging program, messages sent through any live or automated chat feature, questions, and information you provide to customer support or comments and content that you may post on social media channels. For example, suppose you contact a customer service representative or jewelry consultant and provide information to the consultant or submit a request through our Services. In that case, we will use your information to respond to your request and to provide you with additional information that we believe may be helpful to you. We may also collect content such as photos, videos, or other materials you submit. For example, if you use our Virtual Try On feature, we use the image you upload and superimpose a resizable rendering of the jewelry you view through the feature. We enable you to download a copy of the photo or share it with a friend, contact a jewelry consultant about the jewelry, or save the jewelry to your wish list. Any feedback you submit is subject to this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions.
Employment Data. We collect data as necessary to consider you for a job opening if you apply to us, including your employment history, resume, transcript, responses to questions listed on our job applications, or other forms related to your application for employment, writing samples, and references.
Government Identification Data. In certain circumstances, we may collect other information, such as an image of your driver's license or other government-issued identification, for fraud prevention. We may also collect government-issued identification numbers, such as your social security number, for tax reporting purposes if you win a prize through a Promotion.
You may voluntarily submit other information to us through the Services that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.
Information Collected Automatically
Benqubi Gems automatically collects information about your device and how your device interacts with our Services. We may use Service Providers to gather this information. The categories of information we may automatically gather and may have collected in the last 12 months include:

Benqubi Gems collects data through the use of cookies, web logs, web beacons, and other similar technologies (now and hereafter developed) ("Online Technologies"), including the following:
Log Files. Our servers collect logs that include the above information, which helps us understand website usage and trends.
Cookies. "Cookies" are small information your browser stores on your device's hard drive. We use cookies on certain pages of our Services to, among other things, analyze our web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, deliver you a more customized shopping experience, track visits from our affiliates and partners, allow users to share pages and content to third-party social networking sites, and enable the use of our shopping cart.
Bequbi Gems uses cookies for various business and commercial purposes, including the following:
Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to use our Services, such as our shopping bag, and access password-protected areas, such as your account.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our Services so that we can measure and improve the performance of our site.
Functional Cookies: These cookies provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They allow us to gather information on how our Services are used and remember your choices (such as your language or location) to provide relevant content.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies: These cookies help us deliver advertisements that are more tailored to you and your interests and limit the number of times you receive the same ad.

If you sign up for our text messaging program, cookies may be used to customize your experience by sending you personalized text messages such as shopping cart reminders.
Web Beacons. We may use electronic images known as web beacons (also known as pixels) on the Services. These pixels are small and invisible images placed on web pages that load when the page loads. When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a web beacon, the pixel will load and may permit us or another party to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are combined with cookies to analyze activity by a particular browser on a specific device. We may incorporate pixels from third parties that allow us to analyze conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Services and provide additional functionality, such as connecting our Services with your social media account.
Device Fingerprinting. We may use device fingerprinting to analyze and combine sets of information elements from your browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, to create a "fingerprint" of your device and uniquely identify your device and apps.
Location-Identifying Technologies. Location-aware technologies may collect precise location data when you enable location-based services through your device. Location data may be used to verify your device's location and deliver or restrict relevant content and advertising based on that location.
Some information about your use of the Services and certain unaffiliated websites or services (described below) may be collected using Online Technologies across time and services and used by us and other parties for purposes such as associating different devices you use and delivering relevant ads and other content to you on the Services and unaffiliated websites and services.

Other Parties
Other Party Websites And Services
Our Services may provide links to websites, locations, platforms, and services operated and owned by other parties outside our control and not covered by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies on these websites and services. There may be Online Technologies on unaffiliated websites and services used to collect information about you independently and may solicit information from you. The information collected and stored by other parties, whether through our Services, their services, or Social Features (defined below), remains subject to their policies and practices, including what information they share with us, your rights and choices on their services and devices, and whether they store data in the U.S. or elsewhere. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.
Social Features
We may allow you to connect our Services to another website or offer our Services through another party's Service ("Social Features"). If you use a Social Feature, both we and the applicable owner or operator of the Social Features may have access to and use information associated with your use of the Social Features. You should carefully review their privacy policy and terms of use. Some examples of Social Features include the following:
Liking and Sharing. We may embed a pixel or use other technology on our Services that allows you to "like" or "share" content on your Benqubi Gems account through another website or Service, including social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Suppose you choose to interact with social networks through our Services. In that case, we may collect any information you have authorized the social network to share with us (such as your user ID, billing information, public profile information, email address, birthday, friends list, and other account and profile data). Likewise, if you choose to interact with other websites or services through our Services or visit our Services while logged into another party's Service, that other party may receive information about your activities on our Services and be able to associate that information with information the other party already has about you.
Brand Pages. We may offer our content on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Any information you provide to us when you engage with our content (such as through our brand page or via Facebook Messenger) is treated by this Privacy Policy. Also, suppose you publicly reference our Services on another website or Service, including social networks (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with Benqubi Gems in a tweet or post). In that case, we may use your reference on or in connection with our Services.
Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising
Our Services contain Online Technologies owned and operated by vendors and other third parties. For example, we use Online Technologies from analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyze your use of the Services, compile statistical reports on the Service's activity, and provide us with other services relating to Services activity and internet usage. We also work with ad-serving services, advertisers, and other third parties to serve advertisements on the Services and other websites and services. These third parties may use Online Technologies on our Services (including in emails and advertisements) and on other websites and services to track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use and delivering relevant ads and other content to you on our Services and other parties' services or devices after you have left the Services ("Interest-based Advertising").
We may serve ads on other websites and services, which are targeted to reach people (or similar people) who have visited our Services or who are also identified in one or more of our databases ("Matched Ads"). For instance, we incorporate the Facebook pixel on our Services and may share your email address with Facebook as part of our use of Facebook Custom Audiences.
As indicated above, vendors and other third parties may act as our Service Providers or independently decide how to process your information in specific contexts. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.
For further information on Online Technologies and your rights and choices, please see the sections "Information Collected Automatically" above and "Your Rights and Choices" below.

If you would like to update or revise the information in your account, you may do so through your account or by contacting us as outlined in the "Contact Us" section below. We may require additional information from you to confirm your identity.

California residents and data subjects in Europe have additional rights outlined in the "Additional Disclosures for California Residents" and "Additional Disclosures for Data Subjects in Europe" below.
Online Technology Choices
Cookies and Pixels. At all times, you may decline our cookies if your browser permits. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies by activating the setting on your browser, enabling you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. You must instruct each browser and device separately if you use multiple browsers on your device or multiple devices. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations. You can learn more about cookies and how to decline them on about.cookies.org.
Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to online services you visit. However, note that no industry consensus exists on what site and app operators should do about these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action concerning "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms. For more information on "Do Not Track," visit allaboutdnt.com.
If you disable or remove Online Technologies, some parts of the Services may not function correctly.
Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising
You can opt out of Google's use of your Personal Information in connection with Google Analytics through cookies by visiting tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Some other parties that collect information from or about you on the Services to provide more relevant advertising to you may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. This program offers a centralized location where users can make choices about using their information for online behavioral advertising. To learn more about the DAA and your opt-out options for their members, please visit aboutads.info/choices. In addition, some of these other parties may be the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") members. To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, please visit networkadvertising.org/choices. If you are in the EU, please visit the EU online choices page at www.youronlinechoices.com. Please note that if you opt out using any of these methods, the opt-out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. Further, opting out only means that the selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-Based Advertising to you. Still, it does not mean you will no longer receive targeted content and ads (e.g., from other ad networks) or non-targeted ads.
We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any other parties' opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
Communications
To opt out of receiving email promotions from Benqubi Gems, please follow the unsubscribe instructions in our promotional email correspondence or contact us as outlined in the "Contact Us" section below. If you have signed up for our text messaging program and wish to opt-out, you may do so at any time by texting "STOP," "END," "CANCEL," "UNSUBSCRIBE," or "QUIT" to our shortcode. Please note that opting out of promotional communications from Benqubi Gems does not affect our non-promotional communications with you, including those related to your account, orders placed with Benqubi Gems, or our ongoing business relations.
Data Security And Retention
We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
Despite our measures, transmission via the Internet is not entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including to provide you the Services and support for Services provided to you, satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes, and otherwise as permitted by law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your information, the purposes for which we process your data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
When we no longer require your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize or otherwise de-identify it or, if this is not possible, securely store it by this Privacy Policy and cease use of the information until deletion is possible. If we anonymize your information (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may retain it for longer.
International Transfer
Benqubi Gems is based in the U.S., and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where Benqubi Gems or its partners, affiliates, service providers, subsidiaries, or agents maintain facilities, and by using this website, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. Data protection laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions may differ from those of your country of residence. Therefore, your use of the Services or provision of any information constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing, and storage of your information in the U.S. and other jurisdictions as outlined in this Privacy Policy. If your data is collected in Europe, we will transfer your data subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
This is our entire and exclusive Privacy Policy and supersedes any earlier version. We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our operations and reserve the right to do so at any time. When a revision is made, we will revise the "Effective Date" on this page, and any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy. Benqubi Gems encourages you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to learn how we protect your information. Your continued use of our Services indicates your consent to the Privacy Policy then posted. We may provide additional notice, such as your email address, if any changes are material.

Our lawful bases include where: (a) you have given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes, either to us or to our service providers or partners; (b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or (d) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or another party, and your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests, where such legitimate interests may include (1) to communicate with you in response to your requests, questions, inquiries, and submissions; (2) to conduct advertising, marketing and promotional activities in connection with operating our business; (3) for research and development, security and optimization of our Services; and (4) to process a job application, conduct recruiting activities, develop and improve our recruiting process, and communicate with you regarding your interest in current or future employment opportunities with us.
Data Subject Rights
If you are a data subject in Europe, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any Personal Information we have collected about you through the Services. You also have the right to data portability and to restrict or object to our processing of Personal Information we have gathered about you through the Services. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was initially collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on the the consent you provided.
Other details regarding the processing of Personal Information that individuals in Europe may be entitled to receive are contained in other provisions of the Privacy Policy. The Services are hosted in and provided from the United States, and your use of our Services is governed by United States law. If you are using the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where our systems are located. The data protection laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using the Services, you consent to your information being transferred to our systems and facilities and to the systems and facilities of those third parties with whom we share information as described in this Privacy Policy. Suppose Personal Information is transferred to a recipient in a country that does not provide adequate protection for Personal Information under the laws of your country in Europe. In that case, we will take measures designed to protect your Personal Information, such as ensuring that such transfers are subject to the terms of the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent.
Requests
If you are a resident of California or Nevada or an individual in Europe who wishes to exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a request through email info@benqubigems.com. In your request, please specify which right you are seeking to exercise and the scope of the request. We may require specific information from you to help us verify your identity and process your request. If we cannot confirm your identity, we may deny your request. You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, we will require written proof of the agent's permission to do so and verify your identity directly.
When you submit a request, please do not send us, directly or indirectly, any sensitive or special categories of Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers or other national or state identifiers, health information, biometric data or genetic characteristics, criminal background information, financial account numbers, payment card information, and so on).
We will evaluate and respond to your request to the extent required by law (or at our discretion if not mandated by law) in the time required by law and as permitted by our contracts, confidentiality obligations, and applicable laws and regulations. We may be unable to provide all the information requested or fulfill your request due to certain exceptions enumerated under applicable law. In such a case, we will inform you of the reasons we cannot satisfy all or parts of your request. If the request submission methods above do not enable you to submit your request, please contact us as outlined in the "Contact Us" section above and specify which right you intend to exercise.
For individuals in Europe, if you have any concerns with our data protection law compliance, you also have the right to complain to a European supervisory authority.
