Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how HK Jewelry Corp collects, uses, stores, and protects user data. It should reassure visitors that their privacy is respected and detail compliance with relevant laws.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information from you when you visit our Site, register, place an order or inquiry, subscribe to our newsletter, fill out a form, or use certain Site features. The information collected might include:

• Personal Identifiers: name, email address, mailing address, phone number.
• Transactional Information: records of inquiries, orders, or purchases (such as product details, date of purchase, payment method – note that credit card information is processed securely and not stored on our servers).
• Technical Information: IP address, browser type, referring site, and browsing behavior on our Site (collected via cookies or analytics tools).
• Optional Information: any information you voluntarily submit, such as responses to surveys, feedback, or additional requests.

Users can always choose not to provide personal information by browsing the Site without engaging in these activities, but certain features (like placing an order or contacting us) may be unavailable without providing some information.

2. How We Use Your Information

Any information we collect may be used in one of the following ways:

• To Process Transactions or Inquiries: We use personal information to respond to your inquiries, fulfill product orders, process payments, and deliver products. For example, your address is used for shipping your order.
• To Improve Customer Service: Information you provide helps us effectively respond to your customer service requests and support needs.
• To Personalize Your Experience: We may use feedback or data to tailor our service offerings and website content to your interests (for instance, showing you items you may like based on past interest).
• To Send Periodic Emails or Updates: If you opt-in to our mailing list, the email address you provide may be used to send you updates, newsletters, or information about promotions, new collections, or services. (You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us directly.)
• To Improve Our Website: We continually strive to improve our Site offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you. Analytics may be used to track usage and make design decisions.

(If there are any other uses specific to the business, list them here. If the site uses data for advertising or shares data with third-party marketing, that should be stated explicitly.)

3. Protection of Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information:

• Secure Servers: All sensitive information (such as credit card data) is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway provider's database. We do not directly store your credit card details on our servers.
• Access Controls: Personal data collected is accessible only by authorized personnel who have special access rights and are required to keep the information confidential.
• Data Retention: We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy (unless a longer retention period is required by law). For example, we may keep records of transactions for accounting and legal purposes.
• Third-Party Security: We select reputable third-party service providers (such as payment processors or hosting providers) that use industry-standard security measures. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site uses "cookies" and similar technologies to enhance user experience and gather information about visitors and visits:

• Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's systems to recognize your browser and capture certain information.
• How We Use Cookies: For example, we use cookies to remember items you viewed, understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, and compile aggregate data about site traffic and interactions (via tools like Google Analytics) to offer better site experiences.
• Managing Cookies: You can choose to have your browser warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to disable all cookies via your browser settings. Keep in mind that disabling cookies might affect the functionality of certain features of our Site (for instance, retaining items in a wishlist or remembering your preferences).

(If the site uses any specific cookies (like for a shopping cart or login), mention them. If it uses retargeting/advertising cookies, that must be disclosed. If not, keep it general.)

5. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to outside parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share information with third parties only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share necessary information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you – for example, shipping companies (to deliver orders), payment processors (to handle transactions), or email service providers (to send newsletters). These parties are obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they provide.
• Legal Requirements: We may release your information if required to comply with the law, enforce our Site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety. For instance, responding to a court order or regulatory request, or to prevent fraud or cybercrime.
• Business Transfers: In the unlikely event that HK Jewelry Corp undergoes a business transition such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will inform users via a notice on our Site before personal data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• Aggregated Data: We may share generic aggregated demographic or usage information not linked to any personally identifiable information with our business partners, advertisers, or other third parties for industry analysis, marketing, or other business purposes (for example, "X% of our site visitors are from the U.S."). This data will not identify individual users.

6. Third-Party Links and Services

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include links on our Site to third-party products or services (for example, a blog post linking to an external article, or an Instagram feed linking to Instagram's site). These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. HK Jewelry Corp has no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Site and welcome any feedback about these sites. If you follow a link to any of these external sites, we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not submit any personal information to us. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Updating Information

If you have created an account on our Site or provided information, you have the ability to review and update your personal data by contacting us or, if applicable, logging into your account profile. Ensure that your information is accurate and up-to-date so we can serve you best.

Marketing Communications

As noted, you may opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided in the emails or by contacting us directly with your request. Please note that even after you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send you transactional or informational emails related to your purchases or inquiries (e.g., order confirmations, responses to customer service queries).

Do Not Track Signals

Our Site currently does not respond to 'Do Not Track' signals, but we only track anonymized usage data as described above.

GDPR/CCPA (If Applicable)

If the business anticipates serving customers in California or the EU, include compliance statements. For example:

• California (CCPA): California residents have the right to request information about personal data collected and to request deletion of their personal data, subject to certain exceptions. If you are a California resident and wish to exercise your rights under the CCPA, please contact us at info@hkjewelrycorp.com.
• EU/EEA (GDPR): If you are located in the European Union, you have certain rights under the GDPR, such as the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, and the right to withdraw consent. We will comply with applicable GDPR regulations if we engage with EU customers. To make any GDPR-related requests, contact us at info@hkjewelrycorp.com.

(Include these only if relevant to the intended customer base, otherwise they can be omitted.)

9. Consent

By using our Site, you consent to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any terms in this policy, please do not use the Site or provide personal information. Your continued use of the Site after changes to this Privacy Policy are posted will be deemed acceptance of those changes.

10. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. If we make significant changes to how we handle personal data, we may also notify you via email (if we have your email on file) or through a notice on the homepage.
