The information provided below primarily refers to customers who purchase jewelry from me. In most cases, I will have no need to contact you unless it is in the comments section of my website.
Privacy
I am committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information you share with us (the phrases “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” mean any information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.). The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you what personally identifiable information or personal information I may collect from you when you visit our web site, how I use such information, and the choices you have regarding my use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information.
Collecting Information About You
In general, you can visit most of my web pages without telling me who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. I may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell me who you are.
When you purchase products, sign up for information, or register to make comments I may ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal interests, etc. Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice. But if you choose not to provide the information I request, you may be unable to purchase products, or access certain services, offers and content on my web site.
Using Information About You
I use the personally identifiable information you provide for internal purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order or keeping track of donors and/or volunteers.
Although unlikely, in certain instances I may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to me or to others. I may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires it.
Editing, Updating, Correcting and Deleting Information About You
I want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from me. If you prefer not to receive information from me please let us know by calling us at (310) 403-0522 or by sending me an email. Please be sure to include your email address, full name, and specifically what information you do not want to receive. If you would like to update or correct your email address, street address or other personal information with me please contact me the same way.
Please note that when you purchase from me online I may need to contact you via phone, email or mail to address questions specific to your order, even if you have opted to not receive communications. Also, if you delete certain information you may not be able to continue to purchase products or access other portions of my web site without entering additional information.
Protecting Children
I take special care to protect the safety and privacy of children. My website is a general audience site, though occasionally I may use language or broach on topics more appropriate for adults.
Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any personal information to anyone online. I urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the web.
Security
I use ShopSite and Authorize.net to collect and process financial and other data, which uses sophisticated encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of your personal information that you share with me. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while I strive to protect your personal information, I cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from my website, and you do so at your own risk. Once I receive your transmission, I will do my best to protect its security on our systems.
Links to Third Party Sites
My website contains many links to websites operated and maintained by third parties, including CafePress.com, over which I have no control. Privacy policies on such linked sites may be different from my privacy policy. You access such linked sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a linked site before disclosing any personal information on such site.
Policy Changes
If I decide to change my privacy policy in whole or in part, I will inform you by posting a notice on my website. Those changes will go into effect on the date posted in the notice. The new policy will apply to all current and past users of my web site and will replace any prior policies which are inconsistent.

To help me improve my privacy policy and practice, please give me your feedback. You may email me at holly@hollywest.com.
