Privacy Statement

Thomas Belfast is committed to protecting your privacy online. Our policy explains how we will do this.

What information do we collect?
We collect email addresses.

Registration: We invite you to register your details of your name, email address, geographical address and other information. We will ask you for further information, for example your contact telephone number, if you make a purchase.

We may also use cookies. For an explanation, see the section on cookies below.

Use of Cookies
Cookies are small files which many web sites transfer to your hard disk. They can inform the web site what pages you visit, and your preferences, which enable web sites to provide you with a more personalized service. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to warn you before accepting them.

We use cookies, but most parts of our site can be accessed even if your cookies are turned off. But you may find there are parts of the site which you cannot access if your cookies are turned off.

How do we use your information?
We use the information to help us understand more about how our web site is used, to improve our site, and to send you information about us and our jewellery which we think may be of interest to you, both electronically or otherwise.

In the case of our online publications available through subion, your personal information may be used to enable us to verify you are a subscriber and to deliver the online publication to you.

Unless you have informed us that you do not wish to receive further information about our jewellery and offers, we may send you direct mail and of course you can unsubscribe at any time.

When do we share information?
We do not share your personal information.

Other web sites may have links on our site. If you link to their sites, they may collect information. Such sites are not within our control and are not covered by this privacy statement.

If we believe that your use of the site is unlawful or damaging to others, we reserve the right to disclose the information we have obtained through the site about you to the extent that it is reasonably necessary in our opinion to prevent, remedy or take action in relation to such conduct.

Security
All personal and credit card information is encoded using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology before being sent over the Internet. To protect your data further, your credit card information is always stored in encrypted form in a database that is away from our Web site database, so it isn't connected to the Internet. Credit card transactions are issued a digital certificate, ensuring that your data can only be read by our transaction system as long as your browser shows its secure mode symbol (such as a key or closed lock).

To make the most of the security on our site, we recommend using Microsoft® Internet Explorer™ version 8.0 or higher, which enable SSL. We also recommend setting your browser's preferences to accept cookies and enable Java™.
