Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the website, track users'
movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregated use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing Information: MONICAGEMS will share aggregated demographic information
with partners and advertisers. This information is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person.
MONICAGEMS uses an external shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card
processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not
retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any other
purpose.
MONICAGEMS partners with other parties to provide specific services. When users
sign up for these services, we share names, or other contact information that
is necessary for the third-party to provide these services.
The third-party is not allowed to use the personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.

contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary.

requested. This may include contact information (such as names and shipping
addresses), and demographic information (such as zip codes, ages, etc.).

and improve customer satisfaction with the website.
Tell A Friend
If users decide to participate in MONICAGEMS's referral service by providing
contact information of friends who may be interested in
the www.MONICAGEMS.com website, the company asks them to provide
their friends' names and e-mail addresses. MONICAGEMS will automatically send
these friends a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit the website. MONICAGEMS
stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time e-mail.
Those receiving emails may contact MONICAGEMS
at: info@monicagems.com to request that their contact information be
removed from MONICAGEMS's database, which the company promptly does.
Security
The www.monicagems.com website takes every precaution to protect user
information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, it is
protected both online and offline.
When a registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card numbers and/or social security numbers), that information is
encrypted and protected using SSL 128 encryption. All of the web site's secure
pages, including the order forms, are indicated by the closed lock icon that
appears on the bottom of the page in web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
As well as using SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
MONICAGEMS also does everything possible to protect user information offline.
Access to all personally identifiable information about customers is kept in
company offices, and only those employees who need this information to perform
specific jobs, including billing or customer service representatives, are
granted access to it. These employees must use password-protected screensavers
when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password
to re-gain access to any restricted information.
Furthermore, all MONICAGEMS employees are kept informed of company security and
privacy practices with regular updates and retraining every quarter, and
whenever any new policies are introduced.
Finally, the servers which the company uses to store personally identifiable
information are kept in a secure environment. Customers who have any questions
about security on the www.monicagems.com website, can contact us by
e-mail at: info@monicagems.com.
