Privacy Policy – Last Updated Spetember 1, 2020

Tek Luxury wants you to know that we take your privacy seriously and that we appreciate the trust you have given to our website Brilliantcarbon.com ™ by your visit or by sharing your personal data with us. The information contained in this policy lets you know how seriously we take protecting your privacy. Here we tell you why we collect your personal information, what information we collect, how we use that information, and how you can access and update information.

All references to our “Site” include our BrilliantCarbon.com™ website, internet presence, mobile applications and social media platforms, and all references to our “Services” includes our Site, customer service functions and other shopping or product services offered by us. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service. If any questions should arise after reviewing this Privacy Policy please email us at hello@brilliantcarbon.com.

Under this policy, “personal information” means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

 

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

 

When you visit the Site, unless restricted by law, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.” 

 

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

This is generally done to improve your shopping experience on Brilliantcarbon.com.

  • Expedite your purchases and enable the Services you request,
  • Approve and monitor your purchases,
  • Enhance and improve our services and products,
  • Enrich the general customer experience through targeted advertising,
  • Recognize and classify your customer preferences,
  • Improve Services for our customer/user base,
  • Accurately answer your questions and respond to requests,
  • Manage and control promotions and contests,
  • Distribute information regarding products of interest,
  • Analyse your account information for completeness and errors,
  • Deter and prevent abuse and fraud,
  • Follow applicable legal requirements and Brilliant Carbon policies and procedures, and
  • Other uses with your consent.

Over time we may combine the information you provide to us with other information that is publicly available or collected though our cookies or other similar available technology.

How we collect Device Information:

 

    - “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier.   Most internet browsers allow the user to decline cookies. As such you are always able to refuse the use and access of cookies. However, if you decline the use of cookies then you may be unable to access certain portions of the Site and some of our Services. Even if you decline the use of cookies, we may still be able to identify and recognize your computer, smart phone, or mobile device. Finally, some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature incorporated into them. Since this is a new technology and does not have an industry-based standardized response to them, we do not respond to them. For more information about the use of cookies and how to block them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org

    - “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

 

    - “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

 

- Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number.  We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

 

Comments you provide on our site or social media platforms:

Your comments and feedback are important to us. Those communications directly help us improve our site and services. By communicating to us that information you effectively give the rights to it to Tek Luxury or BrilliantCarbon.com. Additionally, we reserve the right to post and use those comments on our Site and in our advertising and marketing materials. Finally, we may use those comments and material as our own Site Materials.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information, Customer-provided information and Order Information.

Children Under the Age of 13

We also take the protection and data security of minor children under the age of 13 seriously. To that end, Tek Luxury does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If it is discovered that we have done so, we will promptly delete that data from our servers. For more information on protecting the data privacy rights of minor children under the age of 13 please see the FTC website at https://www.ftc.gov.

Security

Tek Luxury takes securing your personal information seriously. As such we employ a number of electronic and physical security protocols to ensure that your personal information remains safe and secure. However, in today’s rapidly changing technological environment, no security protocol is impregnable. To that end, we cannot guarantee that your personal information will never be compromised.

Below are our multi-point electronic and physical security protocols:

  1. SSL Encryption: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology is the industry standard for protecting data when computer servers are communicating and transferring data. We use SSL when completing transactions online. SSL helps to ensure that your sensitive personal information, such as your credit card number, is not apprehended by adverse third-parties.
  2. Credit Card Orders: To minimize unnecessary risk of your sensitive personal information being compromised we do not store your credit card information after an order has been completed. To further minimize this risk, we complete our credit card orders within 24 hours by working directly with the authorizing bank. This enables us to ship products sooner and delete temporarily stored information sooner.
  3. Signature Requirements for Delivery: We always insure and register items shipped via mail to their fullest value. Finally, we only ship to physical business or residential addresses and require that a person over 18 years of age sign for the delivery.

California Privacy Rights Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83
