How Do We Use Your Email Address?

By
submitting your email address on this website, you agree to receive emails from
us. You can cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time
by clicking on the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option that is included in
the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to
contact them, either directly, or through a third party. We do not send
unsolicited commercial emails, because we hate spam as much as you do. By
submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your email
address for customer audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we
display custom advertising to specific people who have opted-in to receive
communications from us. Email addresses submitted only through the order processing
page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates
pertaining to your order. If, however, you have provided the same email to us
through another method, we may use it for any of the purposes stated in this
Policy. Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving
future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of
each email.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We
keep your information only so long as we need it to provide The Engagement Ring
Translation to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is
also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carries
out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and
there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory
obligations, we’ll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so
that we can’t identify you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We
implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your
personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your
personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied
sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only
to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such
systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. After a
transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers,
financials, etc.) is never kept on file. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant
the absolute security of any information you transmit to The Engagement Ring
Translation or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be
accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical,
technical, or managerial safeguards.

Could my information be transferred to
other countries?

The
Engagement Ring Translation is incorporated in Cameroon. Information collected
via our website, through direct interactions with you, or from use of our help
services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or
to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted
anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general
applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest
extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily
consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

Is the information collected through
the The Engagement Ring Translation Service secure?

We
take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However,
neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption
systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or
fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect
your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If
applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to
protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will
be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.

Can I update or correct my information?

The
rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information The
Engagement Ring Translation collects depend on your relationship with The
Engagement Ring Translation. Personnel may update or correct their information
as detailed in our internal company employment policies.

Customers
have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of
personally identifiable information as follows. You can contact us in
order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2)
change your preferences with respect to communications and other information
you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information
maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph),
by cancelling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes and
deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or
information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this
Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect
your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a
unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or
making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
unique password and account information at all times.

You
should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and
every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The
need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means
that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be
difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your
request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use, and
other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted,
as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically
practicable.

are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have
about you, you may do so by contacting the organization of which you are a
customer.

your preferences with respect to communications and other information you

other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to
third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update,
correction, change or deletion.

Information about General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We may
be collecting and using information from you if you are from the European
Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy we are going to
explain exactly how and why is this data collected, and how we maintain this
data under protection from being replicated or used in the wrong way.

What is GDPR?

GDPR
is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents’
data is protected by companies and enhances the control the EU residents
have, over their personal data.

The
GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and not just the EU-based
businesses and EU residents. Our customers’ data is important irrespective of
where they are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our
baseline standard for all our operations worldwide.

What is personal data?

Any
data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a
broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination
with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends
beyond a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial
information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses,
physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.

The
Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:

• Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and
  transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would
  reasonably expect.
• Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose
  and it should only be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify
  why they need the personal data when they collect it.
• Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its
  purpose.
• People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal
  data. They can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be
  updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

Why is GDPR important?

GDPR
adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals’
personal data that they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for
compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach.
Beyond these facts it’s simply the right thing to do. At The Engagement Ring Translation we strongly believe that your data privacy is
very important and we already have solid security and privacy practices in
place that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.

Individual Data Subject’s Rights – Data
Access, Portability and Deletion

We are
committed to helping our customers meet the data subject rights
requirements of GDPR. The Engagement Ring Translation processes or stores all
personal data in fully vetted, DPA compliant vendors. We do store all
conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless your account is
deleted. In which case, we dispose of all data in accordance with our Terms of
Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not hold it longer than 60 days.

We are
aware that if you are working with EU customers, you need to be able to provide
them with the ability to access, update, retrieve and remove personal data. We
got you! We’ve been set up as self service from the
start and have always given you access to your data and your customers data.
Our customer support team is here for you to answer any questions you
might have about working with the API.
