Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
At MyPiece, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and related services.
When you use MyPiece, we may collect the following types of information:
a. Information You Provide Directly
- When you claim or add a business listing, you may provide business details (name, address, phone, website, logo, images).
- When you contact us, join our waitlist, or sign up for communications, you may provide your name and email address.
- If we later introduce user profiles, you may provide login information, preferences, or saved favorites.
b. Information Collected Automatically
- Usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, time spent on the site.
- Location data: If you allow location services, we may use your location to show nearby jewelers.
- Cookies & local storage: Used to remember preferences (e.g., saved favorites) and improve user experience.
c. Third-Party Data
Business listings may be supplemented with publicly available data or data from trusted partners (e.g., local business registries, chambers of commerce).
We use the information collected for purposes including:
- Operating and improving the directory platform.
- Displaying business listings, reviews, and categories relevant to you.
- Allowing users to save favorites (local storage or account-based in the future).
- Enabling business owners to claim or manage listings.
- Communicating with users via email for updates, waitlists, promotions, or support.
- Providing customer support and responding to inquiries.
- Ensuring security, preventing fraud, and complying with legal obligations.
MyPiece is hosted on the Vercel network, which provides global deployment, caching, and analytics services.
By using MyPiece, certain data such as IP addresses, request logs, and performance metrics may be automatically collected and processed by Vercel in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
This data is used to ensure performance, uptime, and security of the platform.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only in these cases:
- With service providers who help us operate the website (hosting, analytics, etc.).
- With business owners if you directly interact with their listing (e.g., click "Call Now," "Visit Website").
- For legal reasons if required by law, to protect rights, or prevent fraud/abuse.
- Cookies help us improve navigation, analyze site usage, and personalize your experience.
- Local storage is used for features like saving favorites.
- You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
We use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to serve ads on our site. These third-party vendors may use cookies, device identifiers, and other tracking technologies to collect or receive information from your device and use that information to provide personalized ads and measure ad performance.
Google suggests creating a privacy policy disclosure about its services and/or providing a prominent link to Google's "How Google uses data" page; we provide both. A link to Google's page is available here: How Google uses data.
You may opt out of personalized advertising from third parties by visiting the Google Ads Settings page or by using your browser settings to control or block cookies. You can also opt out of many third-party advertising networks through industry tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page. Note that opting out will not necessarily stop all ads — it will stop personalized ads from those networks.
For a list of third-party vendors that may place cookies or otherwise process data to serve ads on MyPiece, and for instructions to opt out, please contact us at privacy@mypiece.com.
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request corrections or updates.
- Request deletion of your data.
- Opt out of marketing communications.
To exercise these rights, contact us at: privacy@mypiece.com
MyPiece is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.
While accuracy is our aim, some data on MyPiece may be incomplete, outdated, or slightly skewed. We encourage users to verify all information directly with the business (by phone, website, or in person) before making decisions. MyPiece provides listings as a directory service and cannot guarantee the accuracy of every business detail.
