Who we are
ElbeeGems (“we”, “us”) is a boutique gemstone atelier operated by Laurie Brown. This policy explains what we collect when you use our website, shop, inquiry forms, and related services.
Information we collect

- Order details — billing/shipping address, items purchased, payment status (payment card data is handled by your payment provider, not stored in full on our servers).
- Account details — if you create a customer account (email, password hash, order history).
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device, and basic site analytics/cookies needed to run the shop.
How we use information
- Respond to inquiries and consultations
- Process, fulfill, and support orders
- Send transactional messages (order confirmations, shipping updates)
- Improve site performance and prevent fraud/abuse
- Meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing
We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate (hosting, email, payment processing, shipping carriers) — only as needed to provide the service. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect rights and safety.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for cart/checkout and session security. Analytics or advertising cookies, if enabled later, will be disclosed here and controllable where required.
Retention
We keep inquiry and order records as long as needed for customer service, legal, and tax purposes, then delete or anonymize when no longer required.
Your choices
You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold, subject to legal exceptions. Contact us at elbeegemsales@gmail.com · +1 555 1234.
