HOW TO ACCESS AND CONTROL YOUR INFORMATION
You have certain rights available to you when it comes to your personal information. Below we have summarized those rights for you, how to exercise them, and any limitations that apply to them.
YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to request a copy of your information, to object to our use of your information (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your information, or to request your information in a structured, electronic format. Below, we describe the tools and processes for making these requests to us. You can exercise all these rights by contacting our customer support services at policies@buymoissanite.com or by sending us a letter to iMoissanite LLC, 447 Broadway, 2nd FL #577, New York City NY 10013, United States.
Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases: for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or if you ask to delete information that we are permitted by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.
ACCESS AND UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION
You can ask us to provide you with a copy of any personal information we have about you. You can also submit a request to update certain pieces of personal information about you if changes have occurred.
DELETE YOUR INFORMATION
You have the right to ask us to delete the personal information we hold about you. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information for record-keeping purposes, to complete transactions, or to comply with our legal obligations.
REQUEST THAT WE STOP USING YOUR INFORMATION
In some cases, you may ask us to stop accessing, storing, using, and otherwise processing your information where you believe we don’t have the appropriate rights to do so. Where you gave us consent to use your information for a limited purpose, you can contact us to withdraw that consent, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place at the time. You can also opt-out of our use of your information for marketing purposes by contacting us, as provided below. When you make such requests, we may need time to investigate and facilitate your request. If there is a delay or dispute as to whether we have the right to continue using your information, we will restrict any further use of your information until the request is honored or the dispute is resolved. However, please note, that in certain cases we may not be able to offer you our Services or complete an order you have placed.
OPT-OUT OF COMMUNICATIONS
You may opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us by using the unsubscribe link within each email, or by contacting us as provided below to have your contact information removed from our promotional email list. Even after you opt-out from receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive transactional messages from us regarding our Services such as in case of a pending order.
You may be able to opt-out of receiving personalized advertisements from other companies who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative or who subscribe to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. For more information about this practice and to understand your options, please visit http://www.aboutads.info, http://optout.networkadvertising.org/, and http://www.youronlinechoices.eu.
SEND “DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS
Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. You can use the range of other tools we provide to control data collection and use, including the ability to opt-out of receiving marketing from us as described above.
DATA PORTABILITY
Data portability is the ability to obtain some of your information in a format you can move from one service provider to another (for instance, when you transfer your mobile phone number to another carrier). Depending on the context, this applies to some of your information, but not to all of your information. Should you request it, we will provide you with an electronic file.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED FROM AUTOMATIC DECISION-MAKING
If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (which includes profiling), when that decision-making has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.
We do not engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or otherwise significant effect using customer data. Our processor WooCommerce uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.
Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:
- Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist persists for a small number of hours;
- Temporary blacklist of credit cards associated with blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist persists for a small number of days.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The security of your personal information is important to us, but please have in mind that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
HOW WE TRANSFER INFORMATION WE COLLECT INTERNATIONALLY
Your Personal Information will be initially processed in Ireland and then will be transferred outside of the EEA for storage and further processing, including to Canada and the United States. For more information on how data transfers comply with the GDPR, see WooCommerce’s GDPR Whitepaper: https://woocommerce.com/gdpr/.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information globally and may transfer, process, and store your information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you the Services. Whenever we transfer your information, we take steps to protect it.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS TO THIRD PARTIES
Some of the third parties described in this Privacy Notice, which provide services to us under contract, are based in other countries that may not have equivalent privacy and data protection laws to the country in which you reside. When we share information about customers in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, we make use of the European Commission-approved standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules for transfers to data processors, or other appropriate legal mechanisms to safeguard the transfer.
