Non Personally Identifiable Information (NPII) is Information that on its own does not identify a specific individual.
This information often includes the visitor’s computer operating system, ISP (internet service provider) domain name, type of web browser used, search terms used by visitors, and pages viewed.

We do not link the information we store in cookies or collect from web beacons to any personally identifiable information you submit while on this site.
HOW WE COLLECT THIS DATA
VMK collects data through cookies, web logs, web beacons and other monitoring technologies.

Visitors can set their browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify them when a cookie is being sent. Disabling cookies may restrict some valuable features on websites often visited, such as automatic "sign-in" features and tailored content.

When visiting this site, your IP Address is stored by VMK Diamonds. This is used to track visitor movements, traffic patterns, preferences and interests, session date and duration, use of your shopping cart, and demographic information. It helps with diagnosing server problems and administering and tuning website operation, verifying identities and preventing fraud or abuse.

Another way we collect information is when a visitor provides a friend’s information as part of our referral program, or when a visitor wants to share the site, a product from the site, a wish list from this site, gift an item from this site, or send a gift card. We will send your friend a one-time email at the email address you provided. VMK diamonds stores this information solely for tracking such services.

While we strive to safeguard our visitors' personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information disclosed or transmitted to us.

SECURITY
VMK Diamonds has put in place suitable procedures to protect personally identifiable information that visitors share with us. We utilize a combination of physical, electronic, and security technologies, and organizational measures to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access both online and offline.
SSL Encryption
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to encrypt the transfer of sensitive information over the internet.
An SSL certificate provides private communication channels for data transmission and encrypts it by scrambling the data as it travels from your computer to our website’s servers. (SSL encryption has been compared to that of an envelope being sent through postal mail. The envelope protects what's inside, and conceals its contents until it reaches the final destination.)
Before you submit your personal information, you can verify that the server you’ve accessed is secure. An unbroken key or a closed lock icon on the lower-left hand corner of your browser or a lock icon to the left of the site’s URL in the address bar will indicate that SSL is active. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https".
If for any reason you cannot access the secure server, or if you're not quite comfortable shopping online at our websites, please feel free to place your order with us via telephone 1800 VMK-7687.
Employees in the Know
As a standard part of our security measures, all VMK employees are educated and kept informed about company security and privacy policies, with regular updates and retraining.
Beware: Phishing
Phishing is an illegal scam in which you receive an email appearing to be from a designated company or organization, asking you for personal information such as your username, password, credit card information or other personal information. Do not respond to such emails — we will never request your personal information via email.
