We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

Please note that we often need to retain certain data for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion (e.g., when you make a purchase, you may not be able to change or delete the Personal Data provided until after the completion of such purchase).

Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them)
Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as, for statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations)

8. USE OF SERVICES BY MINORS

Our SERVICES are not directed to individuals under the age of sixteen (16), and we request that they not provide Personal Data through the Website.

10. SECURITY

We use SSL technology, 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. All credit card transactions occur in a secure area of the Website to protect you from any loss, misuse or alteration of information collected. When you begin the checkout process, you will move into the secure area of the Website. Once you have 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 right hand corner of your screen to notify you of this change. You will remain in this secure zone for the entire checkout process. In addition, it is our policy to never send your credit card number via e-mail. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the transmission of data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we will use every reasonable means to ensure the security of information you transmit through the Website, we cannot guarantee that such information will not be intercepted by third parties. JIFFRRY’Z GEM will, however, prosecute any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.

While visiting the Website, you may link to websites operated by third parties or you may have come to the Website using a link found in another website. This does not mean that JIFFRRY’Z GEM endorses these websites or the goods or services they provide. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website that may be linked to the Website. Such other websites are independent from JIFFRRY’Z GEM, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information, products or activities. In addition, JIFFRRY’Z GEM privacy practices may differ from those of these other websites. If you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that website, not JIFFRRY’Z GEM Privacy Policy.

After cancellation your email will be immediately deleted in our newsletter mailing list.

Please be aware that JIFFRRY’Z GEM will never send you an email requesting you to verify credit card, bank information, or any other personal information. If you ever receive an email that appears to be from JIFFRRY’Z GEM requesting such information from you, DO NOT respond to it, and DO NOT click on any links appearing in the email.
