How Carver & Co. Timepieces LLC collects, uses, and protects information from clients and website visitors.

Information Collected Automatically
- Log data — IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps recorded by standard web-server logs.

3. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers — hosting, communications, insurance, and secure-transport vendors who process information on our behalf under contractual obligations.
- Grading and appraisal services — where a stone or piece is sent for certification or independent assessment, with your instruction.
- Professional advisors — attorneys, accountants, and insurers, where needed to operate the business.
- Authorities and regulators — where required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and property, including obligations related to stolen-property reporting.
- Business transferees — in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization of the company, subject to this Policy.
4. Piece and Service Records
Movement cards, service files, correspondence, and transaction records are kept to complete your order, document work performed, and maintain required business records. Consignment and valuation files are retained for the duration of the engagement and for the periods required by applicable law.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy — to service pieces, keep required business and tax records, comply with law, and resolve disputes. Inquiry correspondence is retained for a reasonable business period; transaction and service records are retained for the periods required by applicable law.
6. Cookies and Tracking
This website uses a limited set of cookies and similar technologies necessary for site function and basic performance measurement. We do not use advertising trackers or sell browsing data. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies; some site features may not function as intended where cookies are disabled.
7. Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction — including secure handling of valuation and consignment records. Correspondence handled by email passes through our mail providers; no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information, subject to legal retention obligations.

9. State Privacy Notices
Residents of states with comprehensive privacy statutes may have additional rights under applicable law, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain processing. We do not sell personal information and do not engage in targeted advertising based on cross-context behavioral data. Where a state law grants additional rights, we honor them as required.
10. Children's Privacy
This website is directed to adults transacting in fine goods. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Third-Party Links
This site may contain links to third-party websites, including map, mail, or telephony functions. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties; their policies govern information you provide to them.
