1 · What information
does GemaTech.com collect from you?
In order to better provide you with numerous products
and services, GemaTech.com collects two
types of information about its visitors: Personally
Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable
Information. Our primary goal in collecting information
from you is to provide you with an efficient and
customized experience while using GemaTech.com.
Personal Information
This refers to information that lets us know the
specifics of who you are. Personal information
is requested when you order a product or service,
enter contests or sweepstakes, fill out surveys,
and send us feedback. For example, this information
might include your name, billing address, shipping
address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit
card or other payment information, and product
details. With this information, GemaTech.com
can fill your orders and better provide you with
personalized services. If you visit a web site
available through a link in our store, they will
independently collect, use and share your personal
information in accordance with their own privacy
policies. If you have questions about their information
practices, please read their privacy policies.
Non-Personal Information
This refers to information that does not by itself
identify a specific individual. We gather certain
information about you based upon where you shop
on our site in several ways. This information is
compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an
aggregated basis. For example, this information
may include the Web site"s Uniform Resource
Locator ("URL") that you just came from,
which URL you next go to, what browser you are
using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP")
address. A URL is the global address of documents
and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP
address is an identifier for a computer or device
on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
("TCP/IP") network, such as the World
Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP
protocol to route information based on the IP address
of the destination. In other words, an IP address
is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing
web servers to locate and identify your computer.
Computers require IP addresses in order for users
to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
2 · Where do we collect
information from you and how do we use it?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information
is to provide GemaTech.com's visitors with
a superior customized online experience. We use the
customer contact information to fill orders, contact
purchasers to inform them of their order status,
to send promotional information, to enhance the operation
of our site and administer our systems.
We review the actions of the GemaTech.com
visitors on an aggregate basis to determine customers" preferences.
GemaTech.com also does research on our
visitors' demographics, interests, and pages viewed
based on the information provided to us during ordering,
a promotion, from our server log files, from our
web site analysis agents, or from contests, drawings
or surveys. We will use this data to tailor the visitor"s
experience at our site, to improve our marketing
and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze
site use, to improve our product offerings, and to
customize our site"s content, layout, and services.
3 · With whom do
we share your information?
The information collected GemaTech.com
is used for processing orders, keeping you informed
about your order status, for statistical purposes,
for improving our site and its performance, to serve
ads, and to notify you of products or special offers
that may be of interest to you. We will disclose
your Personally Identifiable Information to third
parties to charge your credit card, fill your order,
deliver your order, provide customer service, provide
you with credit and deliver promotional e-mails to
you from GemaTech.com. For example, we
must release your credit card information to the
card-issuing bank to confirm payment; and release
your address and telephone information to the delivery
service to deliver products that you ordered.
Compliance with Service of Process or Law Enforcement
Occasionally GemaTech.com may be asked
by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide
Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate
governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally
Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court
order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement
investigation, without prior notice to you. GemaTech.com
fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies
in identifying those who use our services for illegal
activities. We reserve the right to report to law
enforcement agencies any activities that we believe
to be unlawful.
4 · How can you update
or correct your Personal Information?
GemaTech.com believes you should have the
ability to access and edit the personal information
that you have provided to us. During the online ordering
process you can review, change, or delete the information
that you have submitted. You may change any of your
personal information in your account online at any
time. We encourage you to promptly update your information
if it changes. You may ask to have the information
on your account deleted or removed; however, because
we keep track of past purchases, you cannot delete
information associated with past purchases. Also,
as a security measure we "back up" the
data stored on our systems, and such prior information
cannot be completely removed from our databases.
As a result, you should not expect that all of your
Personally Identifiable Information will be completely
removed from our backed-up databases.
5 · What security
precautions are in place to protect against the
loss, misuse, or alteration
of your information?
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card
transactions and order fulfillment are handled by
established third party banking, processing agents
and distribution institutions. They receive the information
needed to verify and authorize your credit card or
other payment information and to process and ship
your order.
6 · A special note about children"s
privacy

collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable
Information about visitors under 13 years of age.
If you are the parent or guardian of a child under
13 years of age and believe that they have disclosed
personally identifiable information to us, please

assume that your personal information is being collected,
used and disclosed in accordance with the windowed
