Last updated on: April 3, 2018
Introduction & Acceptance of Terms
This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for www.rogersandhollands.com (the “Site”). The Site is operated by Rogers Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation d/b/a Rogers & Hollands Jewelers and Ashcroft & Oak Fine Jewelers (“us” or “we”). Please read the following to learn what information we collect from you and how we use that information.
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please exit this page and do not access or use the Site.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT & HOW DO WE USE IT?
We collect two types of information about Site users: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Information
What it is. Personally identifiable information, which we refer to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal information,” is information that identifies a specific user. We do not require users of the Site to register or provide Personal Information before entering or browsing the Site. However, when you engage in certain activities of the Site, such as registering for an account, making an appointment at a store, purchasing an item from the Site, signing up for email notifications, or submitting content, you will be required to provide certain information. We call these activities “Identification Activities.” If you choose to engage in an Identification Activity, we will ask you to provide us with certain Personal Information about yourself, such as your first and last name, mailing address, email address and, if applicable, payment information. Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide will be identified as mandatory and some will be identified as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information for an activity that requires it, you will not be permitted to engage in that activity.
How we use it. We use Personal Information to provide the requested Identification Activity and perform marketing activities. We may also use such information to enhance the operation of the Site, troubleshoot, resolve disputes, accomplish administrative tasks, enforce our agreements with you (including our Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy), comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
What it is. Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not identify a specific user. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website you visited before coming to the Site, the URL of the website you visit after leaving the Site, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol address. We and/or authorized third-party service providers may automatically collect this information when you visit the Site through the use of electronic tools like cookies, web beacons, or pixel tags, as described below.
How we use it. We may use non-personally identifiable information to administer the Site, analyze trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.
Release of Information
Personal Information
Except as set forth below, we will not willfully disclose or share your Personal Information with a third party without first receiving your permission.
- Third-Party Service Providers. We may provide some of our services through third-parties. These “Third-Party Service Providers” perform functions on our behalf, such as delivering your Site purchases or sending emails. We may share your Personal Information with such service providers in order to fulfill orders, analyze data, or operate the Site. We encourage Third-Party Service Providers to adopt and post privacy policies, but the use of your Personal Information by such parties is governed by the privacy policies of such parties and is not subject to our control.
- Co-Sponsors. Occasionally, we may join with select third parties to jointly offer a promotion or contest. Such third parties are known as “Co-Sponsors.” If you elect to participate in a jointly-offered promotion or contest, we will share your Personal Information with the identified Co-Sponsors. This would permit the Co-Sponsor to market directly to you. We encourage Co-Sponsors to adopt and post privacy policies, but the use of your Personal Information by such parties is governed by the privacy policies of such parties and is not subject to our control.
- Protection and Enforcement. We may disclose Personal Information when we believe such disclosure is appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, enforce or apply our Privacy Policy, our Terms & Conditions or other agreements, or protect the rights, property or safety of the Site, its users or others.
- Business Transfers. Like any other business, we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain, including Personal Information. However, Personal Information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
We maintain reasonable safeguards in order to protect the Personal Information which we collect. However, we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will remain completely secure.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may share non-personally identifiable information with third parties in order to track and analyze Site usage and volume information, administer the Site, and improve its quality. We may also publish this information for promotional purposes.

e. Automatic Tracking of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Cookies. To facilitate and, in some cases, customize your experience with the Site, we use persistent and session cookies. A persistent cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer or other device for record-keeping purposes which contains information about you. Persistent cookies allow website operators to collect non-personally identifiable information from you, like which pages you visited and what links you clicked on. A session cookie is not stored on your computer or other device. Session cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser at the end of your session. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to modify your browser settings to decline cookies. If you decline cookies, some functions of the Site may not work properly.
Other Tracking Devices. We may use other industry-standard technologies like pixel tags and web beacons to track your use of the Site. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages on the Site, or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a non-personally identifiable notice of that action. Pixel tags allow website operators to measure and improve their understanding of visitor traffic and behavior, as well as give them a way to measure promotions and performance.

It does not apply to information which we may collect by means other than through the Site and it does not apply to businesses which may use the Site. In addition, this Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information that we collect from you via the Site.
