Data Sharing and Disclosure
Third-Party Service Providers
JewelNexis collaborates with various third-party service providers to enhance your experience on our platform. These may include analytics services, marketing partners, content delivery networks, and other vendors that assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing our users. In such cases, we may share your information with these partners strictly for the purpose of executing specific tasks on our behalf. We ensure that these providers adhere to stringent data privacy and security standards to protect your information.
Legal Requirements for Disclosure
In certain circumstances, JewelNexis may be legally required to disclose your personal information. This could occur in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal obligations that mandate such action. Additionally, we may disclose information if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with the law, protect our rights, safeguard user safety, or prevent fraud. The safety and security of our users’ data remain our top priority in such situations.

Data Security
Measures to Protect User Information
At JewelNexis, we prioritize the protection of user information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We implement industry-standard security measures, such as data encryption for sensitive information and secure server protocols, to safeguard our users' data. Regular security assessments and audits ensure our systems are fortified against potential vulnerabilities. We also train our team on data security best practices to mitigate risks and foster a security-conscious culture.
Additionally, we encourage our users to take an active role in securing their accounts by creating strong passwords and keeping their login credentials confidential. By employing two-factor authentication wherever possible, we further strengthen the overall security of our platform. This dual-layer security mechanism acts as a deterrent against unauthorized access and provides our users with peace of mind.
Limitations of Data Security
While JewelNexis utilizes robust security measures to protect user information, it is essential to acknowledge that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee absolute security for user data. Cyber threats are continuously evolving, which means new challenges may arise that could potentially compromise user information.
Users should be aware that they are responsible for managing the security of their devices and connections while accessing JewelNexis. Avoiding public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions and being alert to phishing attempts are essential steps in ensuring data security. JewelNexis is not liable for any unauthorized access or loss of data that arises from user negligence or external malicious attacks outside of our control.
User Responsibilities
Each user plays a crucial role in maintaining the security of their personal information on JewelNexis. We strongly recommend that users select strong, unique passwords and change them periodically. Users should never share their accounts or login information with anyone, as doing so increases the risk of unauthorized access to their accounts.
In the event that users suspect any compromise of their security, we urge them to immediately change their passwords and contact our support team for assistance. Additionally, users should regularly review their account settings and personal information and report any suspicious activity or discrepancies they may encounter.
Data Retention Policies
JewelNexis retains user information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations. We regularly review our data storage practices to ensure that we are not retaining user data for longer than required. When the data is no longer needed, we employ safe disposal methods to ensure that it is permanently deleted and irretrievable.
Users have the right to request details about the data we hold and to ask for its deletion. We commit to honoring such requests when there is no legal or legitimate reason for retaining that data.
