Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us: We collect any information that you submit to us voluntarily or provide to us in any other way, including any categories of personal information as described in the Data Privacy Notice. We collect information when you create an online account or profile; log-on with a social media account; use the interactive areas and features of our Service; make an online or in-store purchase; request customer service; participate in contests, promotions, or mailing lists; and when you email, call, or otherwise communicate with us. For example, when you make a purchase through our Service, we may collect transaction information, such as your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, phone number, and email address.

 

Information Collected Automatically: We receive and store certain types of information automatically when you interact with our Service, emails, and online advertising. This information may include your IP address, browsing behavior while on our site, browser and device characteristics, referring URLs, the operating system you are using, and third party links, advertisements, offers from our partners that you click on or other content that you may access or download from the Service, and other information collected by our third party vendors.

 

Email: When you email us, we are collecting the information you include in your email communication to us.

 

Cookies: We use cookies to deliver and enhance the use of the Service, and inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your history with our websites.  Please visit www.aboutcookies.org for more information about cookies. We also use cookies to report how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits on our website.  For example, the information provided through cookies is used to recognize you as a previous user, to offer personalized web page content and information for your use, and to otherwise facilitate your experience in connection with our Service. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting, but you may choose to decline cookies if your browser permits.  The use of some cookies - such as analytics or advertising purposes - may constitute a "sale" of personal information according to applicable law. You can opt out by clicking Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information or enabling the Global Privacy Control available in certain browsers or extensions. Please be aware, however, that doing so may affect your use of the Service (such as impeding you from logging in to your account) and impede your ability to access certain features of our Service.

Disclosing Your Information

The information we collect is used to improve the content and the quality of our Service, and without your consent we will not otherwise sell, share, license or disclose your personal information to/with any other party(s) for commercial purposes, except: (a) to provide the Service, (b) when we have your permission, and/or (c) under the following instances:

Affiliates: We may disclose the information we collect with our subsidiaries and affiliates, for operational, marketing and promotional purposes.

Service Providers: We may disclose your information with our service providers that support various aspects of our business operations (e.g., web hosting, storage, shipping, fulfillment, mobile marketing, analytics providers, call center service providers, sweepstakes vendors, and payment processors). When we do use an outside company, we use contractual or other appropriate means to ensure that personal information is used in a manner that is consistent with this Policy. The specific entities describing these service providers are included in the Data Privacy Notice.

Legal Disclosure and Business Transfers: We may disclose your information as permitted or required by law without your consent, if we are compelled to release information by a court of law or other person or entity with jurisdiction to compel production of such information (e.g., subpoenas). Additionally, if we have reasonable grounds to believe information could be useful in the investigation or prevention of improper or unlawful activity (i.e., suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use), we may disclose information voluntarily to law enforcement agencies or other appropriate investigative bodies without obtaining your consent before doing so.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Our Service contains links to other websites. If you choose to visit an advertiser by "clicking on" a banner ad or other type of advertisement, or click on another third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's website. The fact that we link to a website or present a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other websites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
 

Social Media Sharing

The Service may offer social sharing features or other integrated tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest, which let you share actions you take on the Service with other media, and vice versa.  The use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the third party that provides the social sharing feature. The fact that we link to or provide integrated tools for sharing with social media sites is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that social media site, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices.  For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these features.
 

Securing Your Personal Info

Whitney J Co. endeavors to safeguard your personal information to ensure that such personal information is protected from loss, theft, unauthorized access, or disclosure. However, no e-commerce solution, website, mobile application, database or system is completely secure or “hacker proof.” You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

​

Text Messages

You may choose to receive recurring text messages from us about our products, services, offers, promotions, news, upcoming events, and other information. You can cancel these text messages by texting "STOP". After you send the text "STOP", we may send you an additional text message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed, and you will no longer receive text messages from that short code. If at any time you have questions about text messages, text "HELP" to receive instructions on how to contact us. Message and data rates may apply. We are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

We will not disclose your mobile number with any third party (including any affiliate or subsidiary) based on your choice to receive recurring text messages from us unless required by applicable law or as otherwise permitted by this Policy.

Please give 48 business hours to unsubscribe.

The Service is not intended for use by minors under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly solicit any information from or market to such minors. If you are a parent or legal guardian who discovers that your child has provided us with information without your consent, please contact us.
