Privacy Policy
Maurice Kraiem & Company DBA “M.K. Diamonds and Jewelry” (herein “M.K. Diamonds” or “Company”) deals routinely with personal information when you visit and browse our websites and any related applications(“App” or “app”), create a user account and place an order. M.K. Diamonds is committed to respecting your online privacy and has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to the protection of your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to any personal information you provide to us, or that we collect through our websites, applications, or other electronic forms of communication. We adhere strictly to both industry standards and robust international regulations, including, but not limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100–1798.199, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our commitment is to protect your business information, ensuring both transparency and security. By accessing or using any part of these sites or services, you agree to the collection and use of your personal information according to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
M.K. DIAMONDS WEBSITES AND APPS
We collect personal information from you when you visit our websites or applications to create an account, register a product, request information, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, or otherwise communicate with us. Through these interactions we, or our third-party service providers may collect information regarding your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, order information, purchasing history, customer service communications, social media handles, credit card information, and any personal information described in Subdivision (e) of Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.80. We, or our third-party service providers may also collect information such as your IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times, and referring website addresses. We use this data to obtain general statistics regarding the use of the site and its specific web pages and to evaluate how our visitors use and navigate our site on an aggregate basis.
Internet Data: When you use the App, we or our service providers may automatically receive and record certain information from your mobile phone, tablet or other device. This may include data such as the features you use on the App; software and hardware attributes (including device identifiers); IP address; date and time of use; and certain other tracking information. To do this, we may use web logs, applications, and other methods that recognize your device and gather information about its online activity as pertinent to our app or website use. We also use mechanisms to track and analyze how you use the App. These mechanisms can be used, for example, to collect information about your use of the App during a current session and over time; your device’s operating system and software attributes; your Internet service provider; and your IP address. Such mechanisms may include cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts or other tracking mechanisms. Some mechanisms may involve transmission of information to a third-party server through other means. For example, we may allow third parties to use an application software development kit (SDK) or server-to-server connection to collect this type of information. An SDK is a piece of software code that we embed in our App to allow third parties to collect information about how users interact with the App, and a server-to-server connection enables us to exchange data with third parties when an SDK integration is not feasible or practical. Further, if you are making purchases through M.K. Diamonds, we or our service providers may receive and collect information regarding financial information (for example credit card numbers and related information) for the purposes of payment and to serve as a record of purchase for recordkeeping and audit purposes in compliance with the appropriate federal, state, or local regulations.
