Security Statement
We go to great lengths to keep your financial information private and safe. All credit transactions occur in a secure area of our site, to protect you from any loss, misuse or alteration of information collected. The following paragraphs should help you understand our Security Policy.

You may also wish to refer to our Privacy Statement. If you have further questions, please e-mail us, including your name and mailing address, by selecting Customer Service from the drop-down menu on our Contact Us Page.

We Safeguard Your Financial Information
We use Secure Socket Layers (SSL), the industry standard in transferring information to process your orders. The SSL encrypts, or translates, your order information into a highly indecipherable code, which is processed immediately. In addition, we utilize a service provider to "audit" our security practices and procedures.

Your Transactions are Secure
When you've finished shopping and begin the checkout process, you will move into the secure area of our site. A warning window may pop up to notify you that you are entering this "safe" area. Once you've entered, the page address (URL) will change from http to https, to let you know you are in a secure area. Also, a key or a closed lock will appear in the lower left or right hand corner of your screen to notify you of this change. You will remain in this secure zone for the entire checkout process.

We Will Assist You
In the unlikely event that you have any concerns regarding your credit card transaction, we will work with you and your credit card company to help you recover any costs and minimize hassles for you.

International Users
If you are located outside of the United States, by submitting information on preciousmoments.com, you are consenting to the transfer of your personal information to the United States for processing and use in accordance with our privacy policy.

Disclosures in Other Circumstances
There are certain other situations in which we may disclose your personal information.  These include when  we are required to do so by law or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary in order to: fulfill a government request, comply with the law or legal process served on us; protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the site; transfer to a successor entity in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other corporate change;  protect or defend our and our user’s legal rights or, in an emergency, to protect the safety of this site’s users or the general public.
