What information does Genesis RC Online Catalog collect from you? In order to better provide you with numerous products and services, our Online Catalog 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 a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.

Personally Identifiable Information

This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested when you order a product, register for a Wish List, enter contests or sweepstakes, fill out surveys, send us feedback and send us mailings. For example, this information might include but is not limited to your name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number, email address, credit card or other payment information, and product details. With this information,  Genesis RC Online Catalog can fill your orders and better provide you with personalized services.

If you visit the Genesis RC website or one of the sites available through a link on our site, the site holders 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. Genesis RC is not responsible for any information these third parties share.

Non-Personally Identifiable 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 website’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.

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide Genesis RC Online Catalog visitors with a superior customized online experience. We use customer contact information to fill orders, contact purchasers to inform them of their order status, send promotional information, enhance the operation of our site, and to administer our systems through any other means deemed to improve the customer’s experience.

We review the actions of the Genesis RC Online Catalog visitors on an aggregate basis to determine customers’ preferences. Our Online Catalog also does research on visitor demographics, interests, and pages viewed based on the information provided to us during ordering, through a promotion, from our server log files, and from contests, drawings or surveys. We use resources such as, but not limited to MailChimp and Google Analytics to provide us with the most reliable information. We will use this data to tailor the visitor’s experience at our site, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site use, improve our product offerings, and to customize our site’s content, layout, and services.

Genesis RC Online Catalog will only share your personally identifiable information gained through analytics resources with Genesis RC and third parties who provide services to us, our customers and website visitors. Those third parties include authorized contractors, temporary employees and consultants and other companies working with us (collectively, “agents”). For example, selected third party vendors, like Google, may show our ads on sites on the internet and may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our websites. Where we believe it to be appropriate (in our sole discretion), we will ask our agents not to disclose or use your personal information for purposes other than to provide services to you or Genesis Online Catalog.

Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that the personally identifiable information we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.

Fulfillment: The information collected by Genesis RC Online Catalog is used for processing orders, keeping you informed about your order status, for statistical purposes, for improving our site and its performance, and to notify you of products or special offers that may be of interest to you. We will disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to Genesis RC, and subsidiaries and related entities at Genesis RC discretion. Additionally, 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 emails to you from Genesis RC Online Catalog. 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.

Other Parties: We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others without your consent. We may provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to third parties, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable Information. We may release account information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or to protect the rights, property, and safety of Genesis RC Online Catalog, our users, or others. If customers do not pay us for products ordered, we may submit their account information to a third party collection agency.

Compliance with Service of Process or Law Enforcement: Occasionally Genesis RC Online Catalog 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. Genesis RC Online Catalog 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 in good faith believe to be unlawful.

How can you update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information?

We believe 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.

What are your choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information?

Email: We may from time to time send you email or other communications regarding current promotions, specials and new additions to the Genesis RC Online Catalog site. You may “opt-out,” or unsubscribe from our newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email you receive from us, or by sending an email to brandon.skewes@skewesjewerly.com. After doing so, Genesis RC Online Catalog users will not receive future communications or mailings unless they opt-in, open a new account or enter a contest.

Cookies: You may also set your browser so that it will not accept “cookies” to prevent assignment of a unique identifier; however, you will be unable to shop on our site if you do so.

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.

When you access your account information, the information is kept on a secure server. All of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access by physical security means.
