Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy is designed to inform you of what information Star
Silver collects, why we collect such information and how we use the information we collect.
In general, you can browse our Web Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personally
identifiable information about yourself. Personally identifiable information means any information that
may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name; home, billing or
other physical address; an email address; phone number or other contact information; and a credit
card number and expiration date. When you submit your personally identifiable information to us, you

As a policy, Star Silver does not sell, trade or rent your personally identifiable information to third-
parties, unless you have granted us permission to do so.

customize our Web Site's content, layout and services. These uses improve and customize our
interactions with you to better meet your needs.
In addition to the uses set forth above, if you contact one of our jewelry consultants (and provide
personally identifiable information to the consultant) or submit a request or inquiry through our Web
Site, we will use your information to respond to your inquiry or request and to provide you with any

interests, behavior and generally to better understand and improve the usability, performance and
effectiveness of our Web Site and our marketing programs.
Compliance with Law and Fraud Protection
We may collect and disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, we deem
necessary, in our sole discretion, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or
governmental request. We may collect and possibly share personally identifiable information and any
other information available to us in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal
activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any personal
or as otherwise required by law. We may also exchange information, including personally identifiable
information, with other companies and organizations for credit fraud protection and risk reduction.
Service Providers
We may share your personally identifiable information with authorized third party partners, agents and

with a shipping company. Examples of other third parties that we may share your personal information
with include: web hosting companies, fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that fulfill product orders),
jewelers, assemblers, data analysis firms, affiliates, third party consulting or marketing firms and e-mail
service providers. Additionally, if you use a credit card or other financing alternative to place an order
with Star Silver, to confirm and process your order we will share your personally identifiable information
with such financing company. These third parties only receive personally identifiable information if
such information is needed to perform their function(s), and they are not authorized to use any
personally identifiable information for any other purpose(s) other than the purpose(s) set forth by Star
Silver. We only provide third parties with the minimum amount of personally identifiable information
necessary to complete the requested service, product or transaction.

Data Collection Devices, such as Cookies and Web Beacons
In some instances, Star Silver may collect non-personal data through cookies, web logs, web beacons

third parties may use cookies, Star Silver's web log files, web beacons and other monitoring
technologies to compile aggregate statistics on Star Silver's behalf. The non-personal information that

Additionally, Star Silver may use third-party advertising or content delivery companies to serve ads or
