Information Sharing and Disclosure

Gemsy is committed to protecting your personal information. We will not disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent except where:
a. Gemsy is required by law to disclose information to third parties.
b. The service is necessary for the performance of our operations, i.e., mail delivery, review services, hosting services, protecting us from fraud, and payment of your account.
c. Gemsy buys or sells subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information is one of the transferred assets but would remain subject to the commitments made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy or equivalent.

Companies and individuals registered in the Gemsy Affiliate Program may receive aggregate information about customers that they direct to Gemsy through links on their website. No personally identifiable information is provided to affiliate members; the information collected from our affiliates is used strictly for the affiliates program and will not be used for general marketing purposes.

Gemsy also provides analyses of our customers in the aggregate to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties. We do this so that we and our business partners, such as Facebook, can understand you better, and so we can keep bringing you first-rate services. We may also disclose, on an anonymous basis, literal statements made by our customers. At no time, however, will we disclose personal information about specific customers.
Security and Prevention Against Loss, Misuse, or Alteration of Information

Linked websites are not under the control of Gemsy, and we are not responsible for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine their terms and conditions of use. As a subscriber, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation. You have the right to be told what personal information we hold about you on our database. Should you wish to exercise that right, or if you have any questions concerning the Gemsy privacy policy, please email us.

Gemsy has implemented technology and security features, as well as strict internal guidelines, to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorized access or improper use. We will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available.
For transmitting your personal information to us, we use a secure server with a 128-bit SSL certificate from Thawte which encrypts all of your personal information. This encryption process ensures that the information you give us is protected against unauthorized use.
While we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Your Gemsy account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. You can play an important role in keeping your personal information secure by maintaining the confidentiality of your password used on the Gemsy website. We recommend that you change your password from time to time for additional security. Please advise us immediately if there is any unauthorized use of your account by any other Internet user or any other breach of security.

Access authorization is granted to key Gemsy staff only. Backups are run to prevent the loss of information, and our Internet servers are housed in secure facilities.

Your Ability to Edit and Cancel Your Account
