The following Privacy Policy applies only to the Gempawnbrokers.com web site and information provided by you or otherwise collected online through Gempawnbrokers.com. For the privacy policies applicable to information collected in our stores or by other means, see the sign posted in stores titled, “We Value Our Relationship.”
Your privacy is very important to us. Gem Pawnbrokers respects and protects the privacy of its visitors. In this document, we explain how we use the information you supply us. If we update our privacy policy, all revisions will be posted on this page. We reserve the right to change the privacy policy at any time.
Two types of information may be collected when you visit our web site, information that you knowingly provide us (called personally identifiable information), and information that is obtained from your visit but is not directly associated with you (called non-personally identifiable information).
Personally identifiable information may include information that you provide to us by requesting information, when registering for special offers or programs or when you purchase products online. This may include your name, address (including billing and shipping addresses), telephone number, e-mail address, organization, city, state and zip code. We may use this information, to process and ship orders, to contact you about the status of your order, to contact you with answers to your questions, or to provide information about new and exciting products, services, promotions and corporate-related information. We may use mailings, telephone calls and e-mail to contact you.
An account is not required to visit our site or to place an order through Gempawnbrokers.com. For your privacy and security, we do not store credit card numbers.
For those customers who purchase products from us online, additional personally identifiable information such as credit card information will be collected. This information is collected in order to process your order. For those customers who register for special email offerings, we may use the zip code you provided to email special offers that apply only to your area.
We are committed to the protection of the privacy of our customers and visitors. While in the checkout process of our online store, we make use of 128 bit encryption via digital IDs provided and certified by VeriSign, Inc. These IDs enable our commerce site to conduct authenticated, strongly encrypted online commerce. Customers can submit credit card numbers or other personal information to our site with the assurance that they are doing business with us (not an impostor’s “spoof” of our site) and that the information which they are sending to us cannot be intercepted or decrypted by anyone else.
Requesting removal of your information If you have registered for special e-mail offerings, you may unsubscribe from the program, by visiting the e-mail unsubscribe page or click on the links available at the bottom of any of these special offer e-mails. You may also request the removal of your information by contacting us via e-mail.
Non-personally identifiable information Non-personally identifiable information is collected without any direct association with you specifically. In the normal course of using GemPawnbrokers.com, we may collect information about your habits and usage of our sites.
Our web sites may contain technologies known as action tags, web beacons or 1×1 pixel gifs. These employ a common internet technique used to compile aggregated statistics about the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, common navigation paths within the sites, types of browsers and platforms that access the sites and the average connection speeds used to connect to the sites. This information is used to enhance the online experience of our customers. These technologies do not use or collect personally identifiable information, such as names or address, and do not link online actions to an identifiable person.
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are using the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Gem Pawnbrokers collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information and to audit the use of our site. If we are required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or subpoena, we will provide these IP addresses to the proper authorities.
Agents, employees and contractors of Gem Pawnbrokers who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and the high standards of the corporation.
