  • Use and Sharing of PII and other information we collect

Johnny Jigs uses PII and other information we collect to provide the User with information about Johnny Jigs’ Services, and to provide Johnny Jigs’ third-party vendors with information about User’s needs. YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE SERVES AS YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND APPROVAL OF THIS PRACTICE. IF YOU WANT TO ENSURE THAT YOUR PII IS NOT AVAILABLE TO THIRD PARTIES, YOU MUST DISCONTINUE YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE.

Users’ PII and other information we collect may also be used to: deliver and improve our services; manage our business; manage your access and provide you with customer support; perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our or others products, services, or content; communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you either from us or other third parties; develop, display, and track content and advertising tailored to your interests on our Service and other Websites or websites, including providing our advertisements to you when you visit other websites; analyze data about our Website (i.e., analytics); verify your eligibility to utilize our Service; enforce or exercise any rights in our Terms of Service; and perform functions or services as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.

  • How PII is Protected

We appreciate our Users and take your privacy seriously. Any PII that is stored on our computers is protected from unauthorized access and use via passwords as well as other standard industry-acknowledged means. Our servers which store this information are protected by a firewall. We take additional precautions for PII which is especially sensitive, such as financial information. We will only request or transmit this information over secure Internet connections using precautions such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, security keys and password authentication from any third parties receiving this information.

Though we take the utmost precautions to protect your PII, please be informed that no data transmission over a cellular phone or the Internet, nor any storage of information on servers or other media, is ever 100% completely secure. While we aim to protect your PII to the greatest extent possible, this policy is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, a warranty or guarantee of absolute security of your PII.

As always, you should use common sense whenever you disclose personal information over the Internet or a cellular network, regardless of the applications or website(s) you use. If you suspect that your PII is being used in connection with the Website in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, please let us know immediately. To contact us, please send an email to info@johnnyjigs.com.

  • Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Johnny Jigs may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information, including but not limited to the information more fully described below.

Authentication Tokens. Johnny Jigs may use authentication tokens on the Website. Authentication tokens are small pieces of information that enable the Website to more easily communicate and interact with the User. For example, Johnny Jigs may place an authentication token on a User`s mobile device if a User uses that device to register for Johnny Jigs’s Website. The next time that User uses the Website, Johnny Jigs`s server will recognize the authentication token (and the User) and allow the User to perform certain actions immediately without having to log in.

Mobile Device Identifiers. Johnny Jigs may collect information about the mobile devices from which you access the Website. We may collect and store the unique identifier assigned to your mobile device(s) by the manufacturer, or other identifying information about your device.

To provide better service and a more effective website, we sometimes use first-party and third-party “cookies” as part of our interaction with your browser. A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer’s hard drive by our web page server. Cookies are commonly used on websites and do not harm your system. By configuring your preferences or options in your browser, you determine if and how a cookie will be accepted. We use cookies to determine if you have previously visited our websites and the pages you have visited, and for a number of administrative, marketing or remarketing purposes.  We use both first-party and third-party cookies for different purposes:

  • First-party cookies and third-party cookies

Cookies can be first-party or third-party.  A first-party cookie is one that you receive directly from Company when visiting our Site.  A third-party cookie is one that you have received from another party, such as Google or Facebook.  We do not control what third parties do on other sites.  However, we may work with certain third-party providers such as Google or Facebook to permit their cookies to function through our Site so we can learn more about your web experience on our Site and better personalize our services for you.

  • Persistent and session cookies

A persistent cookie is a cookie that is stored by the web browser on your device until it expires or you delete it. The expiration of a persistent cookie is determined by the creator of the cookie and can be upon a certain date or after a length of session time has passed. This means that, for the cookie’s entire lifespan, its information will be transmitted to the creator’s server every time the user visits the website that it belongs to or another website configured to check for that cookie (such as an advertisement placed on that website). For this reason, persistent cookies are also called “tracking cookies.”

A session cookie is created temporarily on your device for use by a website during your visit. This type of cookie may store information you enter and track your activity within the website. A session cookie is deleted after you leave the website or when the web browser is closed.  A good example of a session cookie is the shopping cart on an e-commerce site. The session cookie stores the items that you add to your cart so they are not forgotten while you view products on other pages of the website. Using a session cookie, the items will all be in the cart when you go to the checkout page.

  • Other Data.

All photographs, opinions, ideas, suggestions, other feedback, and all other information submitted by You through the Website may be used by us without any restriction and free of charge.

In certain areas of our website, such as when you request more information, should you abandon a form on our website, your information may still be collected and utilized for notices or communications pertaining to the site, products or services. If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still browse most of our website (the areas that do not require registration) anonymously. If you place a call to us, whether by landline or mobile device, we may also capture your phone number and any other information you provide during the call. This information may also be used to communicate with you about the site, products or services via phone, mail, email, social media or third-party applications.

When you visit our site, we may directly and through third-party service providers automatically log certain information about your visit including: the pages you visit while on our site; the IP address of a referring website, if any; the type of browser, device or hardware you are using; your IP address and general geographic information; and the date and time you accessed our site. Through the use of third-party tools, such as Google Analytics (Remarketing, Display Network Impression Reporting, Demographics and Interest Reporting, and other integrated services), we may also collect certain demographic information and information about interests from a portion of the visitors to our site. This information may link to personal data that you voluntarily provide to us which will allow us to serve interest-based ads and content.

Although the information collected through the foregoing methods does not itself contain any PII, Johnny Jigs may analyze and match such information with other information that you provide (including PII) as well as information that Johnny Jigs may obtain elsewhere, and Johnny Jigs may share all or some of such information with actual or prospective movers, van lines, or other third parties. Johnny Jigs may also disclose non-PII in order to comply with applicable laws; respond to governmental inquiries; comply with valid legal process; or protect the rights or property of Johnny Jigs or Users of the Site.

  • Access to Your Information

If you want to review, correct or change your User information, please submit your request in writing to info@johnnyjigs.com.

  • Third Party Services

Johnny Jigs’ communications to you as well as the Website, may contain links to the websites of other providers of products and services that may be of interest to you. We may also use third-party service providers to serve interest-based advertisements on our behalf on our site(s), social media networks and across the Internet. These advertising service providers may collect non-identifiable information about your visits to our website, and your interactions with our products and services. Such non-identifiable information does not include your name, address, email address or other personal information. The information is collected through the use of cookies and pixel tags (also known as action tags), which is industry-standard technology used by most major websites. Interest-based ads are then displayed based on the information that is collected.

In addition to the information about your visits to our website, our service providers may also use the information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for programs and services available from us.

When you click the link to one of these other entities, you will leave the Website and be connected to the website or Website of such entity. In such an event, this Policy will not apply to your use of, and activities on, those third-party websites. Johnny Jigs does not have any control over the information handling practices of these other entities, and you should familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of such other entities before you share any PII with them. We encourage you to read all other legal notices posted by these other entities as well. Johnny Jigs shall have no responsibility or liability for your visitation to, and the data collection and use policies and practices of, these other entities.

  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by emailing us at info@johnnyjigs.com.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
