When you submit the contact or inquiry form, Jewelry by Candy collects the information you voluntarily provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, type of jewelry interest, occasion, preferred materials, desired timing, and any message you submit through the website.

The website may also collect limited technical information automatically, including general device information, browser type, pages visited, and website interaction data, through hosting tools, analytics, cookies, or similar website services.

Purpose of Collection

Hosting and Platform

This website is hosted on a third-party website hosting platform that provides the servers, databases, and infrastructure used to operate the site. The hosting provider may process and store information submitted through the website as part of its normal operations.

Email Delivery

When you submit an inquiry, the information you provide may be transmitted through the hosting platform's email service to notify Candy of your request. Email delivery is handled by the platform and may be subject to the platform's own processing and retention practices.

Spam Protection

The inquiry form includes spam-prevention measures, including a hidden honeypot field designed to detect automated bot submissions, rate limiting to restrict the number of submissions from a single source within a given time period, and duplicate-prevention logic to reduce repeated submissions. These measures may collect and store limited technical data, such as IP address, for the purpose of enforcing these protections.

Analytics and Tracking

This website may use analytics tools or similar services to understand website traffic, page performance, and visitor behavior. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect general technical and usage information, which may include page views, website interactions, device or browser information, traffic information, product-view events, inquiry events, and checkout-related events when applicable.

The website's hosting, infrastructure, security, and analytics providers may collect limited technical or usage information in connection with website operation, performance, security, and analytics. Depending on the technologies used by those providers, such information may include online activity over time or across websites or online services, subject to the applicable provider's own privacy practices.
