Like most standard Web site servers we use log

internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time
stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Communications
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a
strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is
temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email.
Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications. However, these
communications are not promotional in nature.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to
provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account
we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users wishes.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user
privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law
wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply
with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on
our Web site.
Third Party Intermediaries
We share shipping and packaging content information
to a third party shipping company. We share financial information to a
third party credit card processing company. These companies do not
retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please
be aware that we, Barje, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site
and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by barje.com,
justlikediamonds.com, and
graciousstones.com.
Security
Barje takes every precaution to protect our users’
information. When users submit sensitive information via our Web sites,
their information is protected both online and off-line.
When an order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that
information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the
lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open,
when users are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
If you have any questions about the security at our
Web site, please
send us an email.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal
Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information
changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no
longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or
delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. This can
usually be done by emailing
Customer Service.
Contact Information
If users have any questions or suggestions regarding
our privacy policy, please
