Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Crystalier (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operator of thecrystalier.com and its subdomains (the “Site”), collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the Site. We respect your privacy and aim to be as clear about this as we are about gemstones.

1. Who we are

The Site is operated by Crystalier. For any privacy question or request, contact us at contact@thecrystalier.com.

2. Information we collect

3. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site uses, or may use, the following categories:

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

4. Advertising and third parties

We display ads through Google AdSense. Ad vendors and networks serving ads on the Site may collect and use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, ads are served in accordance with your consent choices, made through the consent banner presented when you first visit the Site. Where consent for personalized advertising is not given, non-personalized ads may be shown instead; these still use cookies for purposes such as frequency capping and fraud prevention.

5. Email subscriptions

If you request our free guide or subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is stored with our email service provider (beehiiv) and used to deliver the guide and the newsletter. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect promptly. We do not sell subscriber email addresses.

6. Legal bases for processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data on the following legal bases: consent (for advertising cookies and email subscriptions), legitimate interests (for site security, basic analytics, and answering your messages), and legal obligation where applicable.

7. Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; have inaccurate data corrected; have your data erased; restrict or object to processing; data portability; and withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, email contact@thecrystalier.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

8. Your rights under the CPRA (California residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) gives you the right to: know what personal information we collect and how it is used; request deletion of your personal information; correct inaccurate personal information; opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, including sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising; limit the use of sensitive personal information; and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

The use of third-party advertising cookies on this Site may constitute “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA. You may opt out by adjusting your choices in the Site’s consent/cookie settings, through Google’s Ads Settings, or by emailing contact@thecrystalier.com with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.” We honor opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control where required by law.

9. Data retention

We retain subscriber email addresses until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. Correspondence is retained as long as needed to handle your inquiry. Technical log data held by our service providers is retained according to their standard retention periods.

10. International transfers

Our service providers (including hosting, email, and advertising providers) may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or an applicable adequacy decision.

11. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Security

We use reputable service providers and reasonable technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
