Privacy Policy
NOA fine jewellery are committed to safeguarding, protecting and respecting the privacy of our email subscribers, visitors and audiences. This Privacy Policy (together with our Terms and Conditions and any other documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
You may choose not to provide NOA fine jewellery with your Personal Data. However, if you choose not to provide your Personal Data, you may not be able to purchase our goods.
We take steps to keep your Personal Data accurate and up to date. If you reside in the European Economic Area, you have certain rights outlined below under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in relation to the Personal Data that we have collected about you. To exercise your rights to your Personal Data, please contact us at the address listed below. Subject to applicable law and in exceptional circumstances only, we will respond to reasonable requests as soon as practicable, and in any event, within the time limits prescribed by law.
What our Privacy Policy covers
We have a rigorous approach to privacy and the management of personal data. All information collected about our audiences is in accordance with:
The General Data Protection Regulation
The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003
Directive 2009/136/EC of 25 November 2009 (European Union Cookie Directive)

Types of information we collect
NOA fine jewellery may collect and process the following information about you:
- Voluntary information provided by you, for example when you register online or sign up to receive emails from us on our website noafinejewellery.com
- When you make a purchase on the website, by phone, email or paper-based communication. We maintain a record of your transaction history but will not retain your credit card details.
- Information about your use of our website, for example pages viewed, location data or traffic sources used to visit our website
- IP addresses – we use IP addresses to help identify those using NOA fine jewellery website to gather broad demographic information for reporting purposes. The use of IP addresses is also used to help diagnose problems with our server and may also be used to assist in the detection of fraud. In this instance NOA fine jewellery may pass this information to the police.
Shopify
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment: If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement (we can provide these for you if you wish, just contact us).
Third party services
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your Personal Data to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your Personal Data will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
How we use the data that is collected
NOA fine jewellery aims to use the information that is collected to provide a personalised service to all our customers. Data is used for:
Fulfilling purchases

Marketing and communications
When you register online or make a purchase on the website, you can choose whether you would like to receive marketing communications from NOA fine jewellery by email.
If you have opted in to any of these forms of communication, you will receive marketing tailored to the information you have provided us when first registering. We will not contact you for marketing purposes unless you have opted in to receive communications.

Service based communication

How long we keep your personal information
The period we keep your information depends on the purpose for which your information was collected and the use to which it was put. NOA fine jewellery does not retain or use personal data for longer than is required.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Data relating to customers is kept for up to a period of six years. If you have not attended an event or purchased a product from us in two years, then we will email you to give you an opportunity to proactively provide permission for NOA fine jewellery to continue contacting you. If you do not wish to provide permission, then we will no longer keep in touch.

Security
Whenever NOA fine jewellery handles personal information, regardless of where this occurs, every precaution is taken to ensure that information is treated securely, for instance by encrypting the information and by storing the information in a secure environment.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while NOA fine jewellery strives to protect personal information, it cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to NOA fine jewellery, which is done at the sender’s own risk.
Any information revealed, including personally identifiable information, in a public forum such as in a discussion forum or a chat, is not subject to this Privacy Policy. It is therefore important that consideration is given to what information is disclosed in these areas.
Fraud Prevention
In order to protect our customers and us from fraud and theft, we may pass on information that we obtain from making identity check and other information in our customer records, including how you conduct your account, to other group companies, other retailers and to financial and other organisations (including law enforcement agencies) involved in fraud prevention and detection, to use the same way.
Disclosure of data
The GDPR and national laws of European Union member states implementing the Regulation permit the sharing of Personal Data relating to users who are residents of the European Economic Area with third parties only under certain circumstances. If you reside in the European Economic Area, we will only share your Personal Data as described in our Privacy Policy and if we are permitted to do so under applicable European and national data protection laws and regulations.
Except from that stated above, NOA fine jewellery will not disclose any personally identifiable information to third parties without permission except where required to do so by law or by a competent regulatory authority. Any information collected by NOA fine jewellery will be treated confidentially.
We use information held about you in the following ways:
- To ensure that content on our website is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer;
- To develop and improve the services which we offer;
- To provide you with information, products or services that you request from the use or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes;
- To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us;
- To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service when you choose to do so; and
- To notify you about changes to our service. We may also use your data, or permit selected third parties to use your data, to provide you with information about goods and services which may be of interest to you and we or they may contact you about these by post or telephone. If you are an existing customer, we will only contact you by electronic means (email or SMS) with information about goods and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale to you. If you are a new customer, and where we permit selected third parties to use your data, we (or they) will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this. We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers (if any), but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers (if any) reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties:
- In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
- If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets; and
- If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, or safety, our customers or others (including exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reductions.)
Employees and recruitment
NOA fine jewellery complies with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) rules in which data about yourself that is provided during the application process is used and held.
