Luxequisite Privacy Policy
Luxequisite is a private limited company incorporated in Singapore (“Luxequisite“, “us“, “we” or “our“). We provide an online platform to facilitate the sale of jewellery products between buyers and sellers.
This Privacy Policy applies to our websites located at www.luxequisite.com (each a “Site” and collectively the “Sites”) and all of the services available or related to therein (collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as the “Luxequisite Service”) that may be provided by us or one or more of our affiliates.
This Privacy Policy also applies to all persons engaged in a contract of service with us (whether on a part-time, temporary or full-time basis) and interns and trainees working at or attached to us (collectively the “employees”), and all references to “employment” shall apply equally to internships and traineeships (as may be applicable).
By visiting the Sites, creating an account with us, using the Luxequisite Service or agreeing to the relevant terms of employment (if you are an employee) you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
- What information do we collect about you?
If you are a user of the Luxequisite Service, we may collect from you information that personally identifies you, including your name, telephone number, email address and mailing address (“personal data“). We collect such personal data to provide you with the Luxequisite Service and (with your consent) to provide you with offers and information about the Luxequisite Service and other products or services we think you may be interested in.
We may also collect personal data about other individuals that you provide to us. For example, you may submit another person’s name and address if you wish us to deliver a product to that person as a gift. If you provide personal data of any third party to us, we assume that you have obtained the required consent from the relevant third party to allow for his or her personal data to be collected, used and disclosed by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We will indicate if the collection and provision of certain categories of personal data is mandatory. For any such categories, we may not be able to provide you with access to the Luxequisite Service if you do not provide us with the required information.
If you are an employee, intern or trainee, we generally collect personal data that (a) you knowingly and voluntarily provide in the course of or in connection with your employment, internship or traineeship with us after (i) you have been notified of the purposes for which the data is collected, and (ii) you have provided written consent to the collection and usage of your personal data for those purposes under the relevant terms of your employment, internship or traineeship, or (b) collection and use of personal data without consent is permitted or required by the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (No. 26 of 2012) or other applicable laws.
You acknowledge and agree that the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data is necessary and should you not consent to such collection, use and disclosure, we may decide not to proceed with and/or continue your employment, internship or traineeship.

In those circumstances, Luxequisite will ensure that recipients in those countries will provide you with a standard of protection that is at least comparable to the protection of your home jurisdiction. - Cookie Policy
