Jewels by Zero ("we") runs jewelsbyzero.com. This page explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have, in plain words.
What we collect
- When you order: your name, email, shipping address, phone (optional) and what you bought.
- Payment: handled by our payment processor (Stripe). We never see or store your full card number.
- When you browse: which pages and pieces you look at, what you add to your bag, the link or ad that brought you, your device type and a rough location worked out from your IP address (country, region, city). We do not keep your IP address.
Cookies, pixels and similar tools
Your browser keeps a few small items for us. Some are needed for the shop to work. The rest only run if you allow them (see Your choices below).
| What | Why | When it runs |
|---|---|---|
| Your bag, checkout and privacy choices | Remembers what is in your bag, your welcome code and the choice you made here (stored in your browser, plus a small jbz_consent cookie). Stays until you clear it; your choice is asked again after a year. | Always. The shop can't work without it. |
| Our own shop stats | A random visitor number kept in your browser, so we can count visits, see which pieces and pages work and which posts bring people. It stays with us; we never sell it or hand it to ad companies. | US and most countries: on (you can turn it off). EU, UK, Switzerland and California: only after you say yes. Before that we count a page view with no number attached and store nothing. |
| Pinterest tag | Lets Pinterest show our pieces to people who might like them and tells us which pins led to a sale. | Only when ads are allowed (see below). |
| Meta pixel (Instagram, Facebook) | Same job as Pinterest for Instagram and Facebook. It may also send Meta your email or phone, scrambled (hashed), if you type them into a form here, so a sale can be matched to the ad you saw. | Only when ads are allowed. |
| TikTok pixel | Same job as Pinterest for TikTok. When you buy, the sale is also sent to TikTok from our server (its Events API), never if ads are off for you. | Only when ads are allowed. |
| Google ad tags | Same job for Google. If and when we add them, they follow the same rules. | Only when ads are allowed. |
When you buy, our order system also tells Meta, TikTok and Pinterest that a sale happened (the order value, and your email and phone in scrambled, hashed form) so they can tell us which ad worked. This happens from our server, not your browser, and only if ads are allowed for you: if you turned ads off, chose Reject, or your browser sends Global Privacy Control, we don't send it.
Your choices
- In the US (outside California) and most countries: ads and stats are on by default. We never sell your information for money, but some US state laws treat ad pixels as "sharing". To turn that off, use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link at the bottom of every page (or the button above). We then stop loading ad tags in this browser.
- Global Privacy Control: if your browser or an extension sends the Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as that opt-out automatically. No click needed.
- In the EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland and California: a small bar asks first. Nothing beyond the basics runs until you press Accept or pick Choices. Reject keeps it all off, and the shop works exactly the same. You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie choices link in the footer; taking consent back is as easy as giving it.
- Your choice is saved in this browser only. On a new phone or after clearing your browser we ask again.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings.
Why we use it
- To make and ship your order, send order and tracking emails, and handle returns (needed to fulfil your order).
- To answer your messages.
- To prevent fraud (our legitimate interest in a safe shop).
- To measure and improve our ads and site (with your consent where the law requires it).
- To send marketing emails, only if you opt in. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
Who we share it with
- Our partner suppliers who make and ship your piece: your name and shipping address only.
- Shipping carriers, to deliver it.
- Service providers that run our store: Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (hosting and our stats), our email provider.
- Ad platforms (Pinterest, Meta, TikTok, Google), only as described above and only when ads are allowed.
- Authorities, if the law requires it.
We do not sell your personal information for money.
Visitors from the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland
We are based in the United States, so your information is handled there. You have the right to see, correct, delete or move your information, to object to or limit how we use it, and to take back consent at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
How long we keep it
Order records for 7 years (tax and accounting). Shop stats for up to 2 years. Marketing data until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or opt out of marketing, by emailing [email protected]. Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas and other states with privacy laws have these rights by law; we give them to everyone, and we never treat you differently for using them. We reply within 30 days.
Children
The store is not for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
