Privacy Policy

StonesmithInc.com is committed to user privacy in our products and services. This policy outlines our personal information handling practices. If you give us personal information, we will treat it according to this policy.

StonesmithInc.com encourages you to read this privacy policy and those of all Web sites you visit.

Security Measures

We protect the personal information you share with us. For example, access to your personal information is limited to people who need it to do their job. At this time it is not possible to make an online purchase with us, but should that happen at some time in the future, we would also encrypt your credit card number.

Authorized third-party agents may also need access to some of your personal information. For example, if we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company. We only provide third-party agents with the minimum amount of information needed to complete the requested service or transaction. We do not otherwise share your personal information with third parties, unless you have granted us permission to do so.

We may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process. We also may choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

We may collect and possibly share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of StonesmithInc.com’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

Data Retention

StonesmithInc.com will not retain your personal information longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Linked Web Sites

We provide several links to third-party sites. Since we do not control these Web sites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these (and all) third-party sites.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have personal information on a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our systems. StonesmithInc.com encourages parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:

Teach kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.

Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.

Look for Web site privacy policies. Know how your child’s information is treated.

Check out the FTC’s web site for more tips on protecting children’s privacy online.
