How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

To provide the Services, we collect personal information about you from a variety of sources, as set out below. The information that we collect and use varies depending on how you interact with us.

In addition to the specific uses set out below, we may use information we collect about you to communicate with you, provide or improve or improve the Services, comply with any applicable legal obligations, enforce any applicable terms of service, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

You must be 18 years of age to use this Website and a resident of the United States. We do not knowingly collect or maintain any personal information from children under the age of 18, and no part of this Website is purposely designed for attracting such children. If you use the Website from any country outside of the United States, the various communications will necessarily result in the transfer of information across international boundaries. By visiting the Website, you consent to these transfers.

What Personal Information We Collect

The types of personal information we obtain about you depends on how you interact with our Site and use our Services. When we use the term "personal information", we are referring to information that identifies, relates to, describes or can be associated with you. The following sections describe the categories and specific types of personal information we collect.

Information We Collect Directly from You

Information that you directly submit to us through our Services may include but is not limited to:

  • Contact details including your name, address, phone number, and email.
  • Order information including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment confirmation, email address, and phone number.
  • Account information including your username, password, security questions and other information used for account security purposes.
  • Customer support information including the information you choose to include in communications with us, for example, when sending a message through the Services.

Some features of the Services may require you to directly provide us with certain information about yourself. You may elect not to provide this information, but doing so may prevent you from using or accessing these features.

Financial Information

We will require billing and payment information such as credit and debit card information when you make online purchases from the Website.  However, all payment transactions entered into on the Website are processed by the third-party payment processor, Stripe Payments Company (“Stripe”).  Shopify partners with Stripe for money transmission services and account services with funds held at Evolve Bank & Trust and Fifth Third Bank, Members FDIC. The Shopify Balance Visa® Commercial Credit Card is powered by Stripe and issued by Celtic Bank pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. Use of Shopify Balance must be in accordance with the Terms of service, Account agreement, and Card agreement.

Your payment information when you make online purchases is thus provided to Stripe at the time of purchase, and the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Use of Stripe will govern use and disclosure of that information.  We strongly encourage you to read carefully Stripe’s Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Use which can be accessed from its website.   We do not use or store your financial information.

Information We Obtain from Third Parties

Finally, we may obtain information about you from third parties, including from vendors and service providers who may collect information on our behalf, such as:

  • Companies who support our Site and Services, such as Shopify (“service providers”).
  • Our payment processors, who collect payment information (e.g., bank account, credit or debit card information, billing address) to process your payment in order to fulfill your orders and provide you with products or services you have requested, in order to perform our contract with you.
  • When you visit our Site, open or click on emails we send you, or interact with our Services or advertisements, we, or third parties we work with, may automatically collect certain information using online tracking technologies such as pixels, web beacons, software developer kits, third-party libraries, and cookies.

Use of Your Personal Information Within JWF and With Its Affiliates

In order to provide you with efficient and reliable services and to improve product and service options available to you, JWF may share your personal information with our affiliated entities, in which case your personal information will be collected, used, disclosed, managed and stored in accordance with this Policy as set forth herein. Our affiliates are companies controlled or owned by us, or companies that control us, or are under common control with us (“Affiliates”). The Site is intended for users in the United States and its territories and possessions, but if you use the Site from any country outside the United States, the various communications will necessarily result in the transfer of information across international boundaries, and, by visiting the Site, you consent to these transfers as required or permitted by applicable law and/or regulations.  We will not share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties, except as stated in this Privacy Policy, without your consent. Your personal information will be stored on servers located in the United States.

SMS SERVICE

We will only contact you by SMS with your consent and you may opt out of such messages at any time by following procedures in the SMS Opt-Out Procedure section. We and our third party service providers may contact you by SMS for marketing, customer service, and transactional purposes, among others. If you sign up for our SMS program, cookies may be used to personalize your experience (e.g. we and our service providers may send you personalized SMS texts such as shopping cart reminders).

If you change or deactivate the phone number you provided, you have an affirmative obligation to update your account information and the phone number(s) attached to your account to prevent us from inadvertently communicating with anyone who acquires any phone number(s) previously attributed to you, and any new phone number(s) you attach to your account may receive our standard marketing SMS texts unless you also unsubscribe via the above procedures. You are solely responsible for any of the foregoing misdirected communications sent as a result of your failure to update your phone number(s) with us.

When you sign up to receive SMS texts, these messages may include but are not limited to promotional offers. These messages may use information automatically collected based on your actions while on our Website and may prompt messaging such as cart reminders. To the extent you voluntarily opt to have SMS notifications sent directly to your mobile phone, we receive and store the information you provide, including your telephone number or when you read a text message, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may opt out of receiving SMS texts at any time by texting “STOP” to our SMS texts.

SMS Opt-Out Procedure

In order to stop receiving SMS texts from us, you can text STOP to the five-digit short code for the text messaging program from which you no longer wish to receive message (i.e., the five-digit number from which the text messages are being sent). You will then receive confirmation of your opt-out of that SMS program. Please note that this will only opt you out of the specific SMS program associated with that five-digit short code.

Cookies

Like many websites, we use Cookies on our Site. For specific information about the Cookies that we use related to powering our store with Shopify, see https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.

Most browsers automatically accept Cookies by default, but you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject Cookies through your browser controls. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking Cookies can negatively impact your user experience and may cause some of the Services, including certain features and general functionality, to work incorrectly or no longer be available. Additionally, blocking Cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.

How We Disclose Personal Information

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for contract fulfillment purposes, legitimate purposes and other reasons subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:

·        With vendors or other third parties who perform services on our behalf (e.g., IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, fulfillment and shipping).

·        When you direct, request us or otherwise consent to our disclosure of certain information to third parties, such as to ship you products or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations, with your consent. Your consent may be implied, such as when you provide your personal information when you make an online purchase, or it may be express, for example, we will ask for you consent to share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties for marketing or other purposes.  

·        With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group, in our legitimate interests to run a successful business.

·        In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, to comply with any applicable legal obligations (including to respond to subpoenas, search warrants and similar requests), to enforce any applicable terms of service, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information without your consent or for the purposes of inferring characteristics about you.

We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites.

We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
