We may collect information you provide directly via the Service, including but not limited to when you register an account, update your profile, access our content, make a purchase, participate in a sweepstakes, contest, survey, or other promotion (“Promotion”), contact customer support, or apply for a job.  We may use Service Providers (defined below) to collect this information.

The information we collect includes information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you.  The following is a list of the categories of information we collect and have collected in the last 12 months:
  • Contact Data.  We collect your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number, and other similar contact data.
  • We collect passwords and other information for authentication and account access.
  • Demographic Data.  We collect demographic information including your age, gender, and country.
  • Payment Data.  We collect data necessary to process your payment if you make a purchase, including your credit card number, and the security code and expiration date associated with your payment instrument.  We do not store payment information after purchase.
  • Profile Data.  We collect your interests, favorites, wish lists, ring size preferences, and other profile data.
  • We collect data about your contacts in order to fulfill a request by you.  For example, when you email a product to a friend or refer a friend through the Service, we request that you provide names and email addresses for you and your friend.  This helps ensure that your friend will know you have requested that AntiqueCut send them an email.   The information AntiqueCut collects from you and your friend will only be used in ways as set forth in this Privacy Policy.  By using this functionality, you acknowledge and agree that you have your contacts’ consent for us to use their contact information to fulfill your request.
  • We collect the content of messages you send to us, such as feedback and product reviews you write, questions and information you provide to customer support or comments and content that you may post on social media channels.  For example, if you contact a customer service representative or jewelry consultant and provide information to the consultant or submit a request through our Service, we will use your information to respond to your request and to provide you with additional information that we believe may be helpful to you.  We may also collect content such as photos, videos or other content that you submit to us.
  • Employment Data. We may collect data as necessary to consider you for a job opening if you submit an application to us, including your employment history, résumé, transcript(s), responses to questions listed on our job application(s) or other forms related to your application for employment, writing sample(s) and references.
  • Government Identification Data.  You may provide to us other personal identifying information such as an image of your driver’s license or other government-issued identification for fraud prevention purposes.  You may also be required to provide government-issued identification numbers such as your social security number for tax reporting purposes in the event that you win a sweepstakes prize.

    You may choose to voluntarily submit other information to us through the Service that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information, as you are for all other information submitted to us.
