Privacy Policy

Use of this website signifies your understanding and agreement to comply with the entire privacy policy statement as presented here.

As part of the operations of International Precious Metals, we gather certain types of information about our users through our website, www.preciousmetals.com. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we gather, and what we do with it.

We DO NOT share your personal information with any party outside of IPM. Any personal information you voluntarily submit to IPM will never be sold to or shared with any third party, except as we may be required by law or government order, and under certain unusual circumstances as outlined below.

Kinds Of Information.

There are two kinds of information we can obtain about you:

  • Personal Information: Personal Information is any information that personally identifies you. It can be your first and last name, your home address, your telephone number, or your email address. Personal information is collected when users voluntarily register for membership services. We may also collect email addresses from users who send us support messages or request technical or other assistance. This information enables us to improve our website in order to make your online visits more productive and enjoyable.
  • Aggregate Information: Aggregate Information is anonymous data that we use to diagnose problems on our website's servers, administer our website, and improve the quality of our website. It may be your IP address (a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet), browser type (e.g., Mozilla or Internet Explorer), and domain (e.g., 'XYZ.com'). We do this in the background so it does not interrupt your online experience. None of this information is connected with Personal Information. So, when you enter our site, you are anonymous and will remain that way unless you choose otherwise.

Use Of Information.

We may use the Personal Information we collect to improve the content of our website; to customize the content and/or layout of our website for each individual user; to notify users about updates to our website or promotional offers or opportunities that we believe will be of interest to users. We DO NOT share Personal Information with any party outside of IPM.

We may divulge Personal Information if such information is subpoenaed, or if we believe that use of our website has been to commit unlawful acts, or acts that may endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public.

Cookies.

A cookie is a small data file that websites store on your hard drive when you visit them. Cookies allow us to determine which areas and features of our website are most popular by measuring user activity, and to improve your user experience by remembering your login and viewing preferences, which allows you to visit various parts of our website without re-registering. We may also use cookies when we conduct polls, surveys, and contests to limit multiple responses and registrations.

We never use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. We do not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of our website will not function properly if you choose not to accept cookies.

Registration And Contact Forms.

Our website may provide registration and contact forms in which we ask for Personal Information. We may use this information to send you information about our website and programs. We do not give this information to third-parties for any purpose, including marketing.

Subpoenas And Law Enforcement Agencies.

We reserve the right to cooperate with government and law enforcement agencies engaged in investigations of activities that are, or which we believe may be, illegal. Further, we may share your Personal Information with such agencies if we believe that a crime or any act that endangers the health and safety of others may have been or may be committed. We may also share your Personal Information in response to an appropriate subpoena.

Security Of Private Information.

Any Personal Information you give us is kept in secure database files. Although highly unlikely, it may be possible for third-parties who are not under our control to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. IPM shall exercise reasonable efforts to protect your information from theft, misuse and alteration.

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, shall International Precious Metals be liable for any special, incidental, or consequential damages that result from the use of the information or materials on our website, even if we (or an authorized representative of ours) have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Feedback.

Our website has a link to a contact form so that you can send comments, complaints, suggestions, and questions. Your email address is required on this form so we can respond. We may also track your browser type and referring URL to better diagnose technical issues you may be having. We do not share this information with third-parties and we will use it only to answer your correspondence.

We take your electronic privacy seriously. Questions regarding this statement or our practices should be directed to the site administrator .

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any such changes will be posted here and it is up to website users to remain informed of the most current policy.
