When you use Dresden.Gold services, you trust us with your information. Therefore, your privacy is critically important to us.

Therefore,
We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of one of our services.

This privacy policy is meant to help you understand what data we do collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We hope you will take the time to read it carefully.

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide during the order and payment process, as well as any other data provided.

Dresden.Gold has gone to great lengths to ensure your information is securely obtained, however, we would like to point out that data transmission via internet (e.g. communication using email) may show gaps in security. Providing extensive security against unauthorised access to your data of third parties is not possible.


Processing of personally identifying information

Generally, providing personally identifying information is voluntary and not necessary when using Dresden.Gold’s websites.

However , like most website operators, Dresden.Gold collects information in the form of logs files for statistical purposes that is non-personally identifying and that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as:

the date and time of each visitor request

Log files are used internally only and are not associated with any particular user. The purpose of collecting this information is to better understand how Dresden.Gold’s visitors use its website, so we can constantly improve and customize the online services we provide you.

Also, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are collected as potentially personally identifying information. Dresden.Gold only discloses IP addresses under the same circumstances it uses and discloses personal identifying information as described below.

Gathering of personal information
We strive to limit the amount of personal information we collect, store, and use to that which is reasonably necessary to provide you the relevant services.

Certain visitors to Dresden.Gold’s websites choose to interact with Dresden.Gold in ways that require gathering personally identifying information.
This is the case when placing a binding order, setting up an account or contacting us either by telephone or in writing (email, fax, by post).

We generally store your personal information for as long as your account is active with us or as long as needed to provide you the relevant services. We may store your personal information for a longer period of time to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or for records management purposes.

Disclosure of personal information

We may share your personal information with third parties if this is necessary for fulfilment of a contract. This applies for example to delivery service providers or banks charged with the settlement of payments.

We may also disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law, or if in our good faith judgment, such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal processes, to respond to any claims, or to protect the safety or rights of Dresden.Gold, its customers, or the public.

We will not disclose your information for any other reason, unless you specifically consented to us doing so. We will never share your personal information with any third party that intends to use it for direct marketing purposes unless we have specifically informed you and you have given us specific permission to do this.

Privacy policy for Google Analytics

These websites use features of Google Analytics, a service provided by Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

Google Analytics is a web analytics tool that helps website owners understand how visitors engage with their website. Google Analytics customers can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website so they can improve it.
The tool uses so-called first-party cookies to track visitor interactions as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how visitors use our site. We then use the information to compile reports and to help us improve our site.
Cookies are text files that contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. These cookies are used to store information, such as the time that the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before and what site referred the visitor to the web page.

Information generated by this Cookie is generally sent to a server of Google in the USA and stored by Google. We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website which means your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors.
Please ensure that your computer setting reflects whether you are happy to accept cookies or not. You can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, or you can simply set it to refuse them, although you may not have access to all the features of this website if you do so. See your browser 'help' button for how you can do this. If you disable cookies that we use, this may impact your user experience while on the Dresden.Gold site.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site by following the link and downloading and installing the browser plug-in made available: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

The terms for using Google Analytics are available here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/.

Privacy policy for Google Adwords
These websites use features of Google Adwords, an online advertising program provided by Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

Purpose of Google Adwords is advertising our website on third party websites and the search engine Google.
As part of Google Adwords, we use so-called conversion tracking.
When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are text files that contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on a certain ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page.
Information generated by this cookie is generally sent to a server of Google in the USA and stored by Google. It might be disclosed to third parties by Google.

Each Google Adwords advertiser is assigned a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an Adwords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the Adwords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Please ensure that your computer setting reflects whether you are happy to accept cookies or not. You can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, or you can simply set it to refuse them, although you may not have access to all the features of this website if you do so. See your browser 'help' button for how you can do this. If you disable cookies that we use, this may impact your user experience while on the Dresden.Gold site.
