Website use information

Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our website is used.  Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our website.

How do we use the information that you provide to us?

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a very small text document which often includes an anonymous unique identifier.  When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies.  Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but to protect your privacy your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.  

How do we use cookies?

As you shop on our website, the Site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other shoppers so your favorite pieces on our site are retained from page to page.  We use what are called session cookies and they are deleted when you close the browser. 

Sharing information with third parties

We do not share your information with third parties.

Notice of new services and changes

Occasionally we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable.  As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an email request at webmaster@patrickdufrayne.com

General Site information

We make every attempt to ensure that our online info is as accurate and complete as possible.  In order to give you the opportunity to view our products in great detail, some products may appear larger or smaller than their actual size in our photographs and renderings, and because of the differences in computers, browsers and monitors color and size may vary compared to the original product.  As such Patrick DuFrayne LLC cannot be held liable for any apparent differences in the product images represented on our platforms and the original products.  We want to provide you with as much information and detail about your prospective purchase as possible.  In compliance with industry standards and FTC regulations, Patrick DuFrayne LLC states that carat total weight may vary slightly from stated weight.  

On the Platforms, we provide the measurement of our products based on manufacturing specifications.  Slight tolerances may be accounted for based on finishing during the manufacturing.  For gemstone and pearl measurements, a tolerance of .25mm is allowed.  For diamond jewelry set with multiple diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece.  Color and clarity grades are expressed as either a minimum or an average depending on the number of diamonds.
