When you apply for a JTV private label credit card, we may collect your social security number (“SSN”) in order to process such application.
If you choose to interact with us via any of our Platform(s), for example, by providing any user generated content such as comments/feedback, photos, ratings, or reviews, we may request you provide us with certain information, such as your name or email address.

From time to time we may provide you with the opportunity to participate in contests, sweepstakes, or surveys on our Platform(s). If you participate, we will request certain information from you. Participating in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information.

If you engage with us on a social media platform (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, etc.), we may contact you via the social media platform publicly or via direct message, or we may use other social media tools to interact with you. Additionally, if you engage with us on a social media platform, your interactions with us are governed by this Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policy of the social media platform you use. We will also collect and aggregate the personal information that is tied to your account (for example, your name, username, email address, and location) and your engagement with us, including all content, messages, and information that you provide to us.
We may also display targeted ads to you through social media platforms. These ads are sent to past or current JTV customers or groups of people who share traits, behaviors, or interests. For example, we may target individuals who have expressed an interest in shopping for jewelry, clothing, etc. See the policies of each social media platform for additional information about these ads.
If you receive email communications from us, we use certain tools to capture data related to if/when you open our message and if/when you click on any links or banners it contains.

Inferences. Additionally, JTV may collect and use inferences drawn from any of the categories of personal information identified above to create a profile about you, which may reflect topics like your preferences, or purchasing behavior.

What are the categories of third parties with which JTV shares personal information, and for what purposes does JTV disclose such personal information?

JTV may share the categories of personal information listed above with the following categories of third parties for the described purposes:

Third-party Service Providers. We use third-party service providers in various aspects of our business. JTV’s service providers are prohibited from retaining, using, or disclosing your personal information for any purpose other than performing the business purpose for which JTV has engaged them.

Examples of the types of business purposes performed on behalf of JTV by service providers include:

Performing IT services on behalf of JTV, including detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and prosecuting those responsible for that activity, and debugging to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Performing certain services on behalf of JTV, including maintaining or servicing accounts, providing customer service, processing or fulfilling orders and transactions, verifying customer information, processing payments, providing financing, providing advertising or marketing services, providing analytic services, or providing similar services by, or on behalf of, JTV.

For example, service providers may assist us with order fulfillment, package delivery, credit card issuance, the providing of warranties, credit card and payment processing, customer service, website functionality or promotions. They may collect personal and aggregated statistics about our users and have access to your information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not use it for other purposes.

In addition, we may use third-party service providers to provide advertising services on our behalf across the Internet and sometimes on our websites or to present special offers to you when you visit our Platform(s) or to provide marketing services on our behalf, such as providing you with special JTV offers and opportunities via the mail or email. These service providers may collect, or may be provided by JTV, information about your visits to our Platform(s), and your interaction with our Platform(s), products and services. They may also use information about your visits to our Platform(s) and other websites to target advertisements or offers for goods and services. This information is generally collected through the use of a pixel tag, which is industry standard technology used by most major web sites (see the Cookies and Similar Technologies section below for additional information). You can read more about online marketing practices and the technologies that support them by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s website by clicking on the following link: www.networkadvertising.org. Additionally, we may share your information with other third party service providers who may use the information we share to provide, on JTV’s behalf, special JTV offers and opportunities to you.
Performing auditing related to JTV’s current interaction with you and concurrent transactions, including, but not limited to, counting ad impressions to unique visitors, verifying positioning and quality of ad impressions, and auditing compliance with legal and other standards.
Undertaking activities to verify or maintain the quality or safety of a service or device that is owned, manufactured, manufactured for, or controlled by JTV, and to improve, upgrade, or enhance the service or device that is owned, manufactured, manufactured for, or controlled by JTV.
Performing other services on behalf of JTV, provided that the use of personal information by such third-parties is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the operational purposes for which the personal information was collected or for another operational purpose that is compatible with the context in which the personal information was collected.

JTV’s Affiliated Companies. We also may share personal information with legally-affiliated companies (“Affiliated Companies”) such as Multimedia Commerce Group, Inc. (“MCGI”), the parent company of JTV. For purposes of this policy, Affiliated Companies shall include any entity or joint venture that is wholly or partially owned or controlled by JTV or MCGI, that wholly or partially own or control JTV or MCGI, or that is related to JTV or MCGI through common ownership. Our Affiliated Companies generally have privacy policies similar to ours or agree to be bound by our privacy policy before any personal information is provided to them.
Business Transfers/Transitions. As we continue to develop our business, we could buy, license or sell assets, or engage in merger(s) or acquisitions(s). In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the business assets involved. In the event of a sale of our business (in whole or in part), a divestiture, merger, consolidation, restructuring, or asset sale, it is likely that one of the assets acquired by the purchaser would be the information that we have collected. Under this situation, your information would be transferred to the third-party purchaser.
With Your Consent.We will share certain of your information with certain specific third-party marketers when you accept an offer from them or otherwise consent for us to do so. Such information may include your name, credit/debit card number and expiration date, physical and email addresses and other billing information, as well as other information that you consent to provide. For example, when you make purchases or engage in promotions offered through our Platform(s), by telephone, or otherwise, and you elect to engage in a particular merchant’s offer or program, you authorize us to provide your e-mail address and other information to that merchant and we may share such information with the businesses with which we partner to offer you those products, services, promotions, contests and/or sweepstakes.

Is the entry of personal information required to use JTV’s Platform(s)? You may choose to not provide us with certain personal information when visiting our Platform(s); however, you may not be able to fully utilize all of the services on our Platform(s) or be able to make purchases if you choose not to provide certain personal information.

Does JTV engage in any additional collection and use of personal information? We will not collect categories of personal information other than those disclosed herein without providing a new notice at collection. In addition, we will not use your personal information for any purpose other than those disclosed herein. If we intend to use your personal information for a purpose that was not previously disclosed in the notice at collection, we will notify you of the new use.

When you access and interact with our Platform(s), we may use certain technologies to collect certain Information about those visits. These include cookies, web beacons, and/or similar technologies.

Cookies. A “cookie” is a small text file created by a web server that can be stored on your device (if you allow) for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” cookie).

We may place a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have provided. The only personally identifiable information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. We use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above) and to allow us to provide relevant marketing messages to you.

Web beacons.Web beacons are small, transparent graphics (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web pixels” or “pixels”) that are placed on our websites to track how you arrive at our websites and what you do at the websites. We use web beacons to track web affiliate sales, customers' browsing activities at our websites, or to compile sales and statistical data.

Social Widgets. These are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow you to interact with social media services when you view a webpage or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget and are controlled by third parties.
UTM Codes. These are strings that can appear in a URL (the “Uniform Resource Locator,” which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a web page) when you move from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.

You can “opt out” of certain technologies from Adobe by using the Adobe Experience Cloud solutions platform by clicking the following link https://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html and following the instructions provided.

Other Third-Party Technologies. Some third parties may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about you when you when you browse the Internet. The information they collect about your online browsing activities over time and across different websites and other online services may be associated with your personal information and used to provide you with targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used.

IV. HOW LONG WE STORE AND USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will retain and use your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to provide our services, and to enforce our agreements.

We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect about you, where we have a legal obligation to do so, if you ask us to delete your information, unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations. To the extent permitted by law, we may retain and use anonymous and aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking, and analytic purposes and for product and service improvement.

V. HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We understand the importance of securing and protecting your information. We maintain safeguards to secure your personal information and to help protect the integrity and privacy of the personal information you provide. For example, when collecting credit card information, we offer secure-server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart someone form intercepting and misusing it (more information about how we protect your credit card information can be found under “Help” at https://www.jtv.com/help). We also use “firewalls,” secure socket layers and other security technology to protect your information and our network. We secure your personal information on servers located in controlled, secure environments, protected from unauthorized access, use or alteration. Our employees have limited access to your personal information based on their responsibilities and all employees with access to any such information are instructed to protect the confidentiality of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.

We want you to feel confident using our Platform(s) to transact business. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your personal information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will always remain secure. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your personal information and should avoid sending personal information through unsecure e-mail. We encourage you to learn about how to prevent identify theft. Some excellent resources can be found on the websites like the site of the Federal Trade Commission, www.ftc.gov.

We also take numerous measures to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of SSNs. Our policy includes these steps:

Prohibiting unlawful or unauthorized disclosure of SSNs;
Limiting the number of people with access to SSNs:
Prohibiting the storage of SSNs in searchable databases;
Encrypting SSNs when they are sent to the provider of the JTV private label credit card;
Properly disposing of customer recordings or images that contain SSNs; and
Disciplining any employee who violates this policy.

Furthermore, JTV employees are only allowed to display or disclose a SSN as permitted by JTV’s processes. JTV will not mail any document on which a SSN is visible on, or from, the outside of the mailed article. Nor will JTV use a SSN as a general identifying number for any account, or visibly print it or embed it on any credit, gift, or loyalty card. JTV will not require customers to use or transmit their SSNs over the Internet, unless the connection is secure, or the transmission is encrypted.

If a data breach compromises your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.

What are my rights under the CCPA to request and delete my personal information?

As described in more detail below, the CCPA gives California consumers the right to request that we (1) disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, and (2) delete certain personal information that we have collected or maintain. You may submit these requests to us as described below, and we honor these rights where they apply.

However, by way of example, these rights do not apply where we collect or sell a consumer’s personal information if: (1) we collected that information while the consumer was outside of California, (2) no part of a sale of the consumer’s personal information occurred in California, and (3) no personal information collected while the consumer was in California is sold. In addition, de-identified information is not subject to these rights.

If a request is submitted in a manner that is not one of the designated methods for submission, or if the request is deficient in some manner unrelated to our verification process, we will either (1) treat the request as if it had been submitted in accordance with the designated manner, or (2) provide you with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with the request, as applicable.

We use reasonable security measures when transmitting personal information to consumers in response to requests under the CCPA and have implemented reasonable measures to detect fraudulent identify-verification activity and to prevent the authorized access to or deletion of personal information. We are required by law to maintain records of consumer requests submitted under the CCPA and how we responded to such requests for at least 24 months, and we only use this information for recordkeeping purposes.

Request to Know. As described below, you have the right to request: (1) the pieces of personal information we have collected about you; (2) the categories of personal information we have collected about you; (3) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (4) the categories of personal information about you that we have sold, if any, and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold; (5) the categories of personal information about you that we disclosed for a business purpose, if any, and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was disclosed for a business purpose; (6) the business or commercial purpose for collecting, disclosing, or selling personal information, if any; and (7) the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information, if any. Our response will cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of a verifiable request.

Submission Instructions. You may submit a request to know via our Request Portal or via (800) 550-8393.

Verification Process. We are required by law to verify the identities of those who submit requests to know, and our verification process is described in detail below. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity.

If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request for categories of personal information, we may deny the request. If the request is denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will provide a copy of, or direct you to, our privacy policy.
If we cannot verify the identity of the person making the request for specific pieces of personal information, we are prohibited from disclosing any specific pieces of personal information to the requestor. However, if denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will evaluate the request as if it is seeking the disclosure of categories of personal information about the consumer.
If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor to the degree of certainty required, we will state this in our response and explain why we have no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor.

Response Process. Upon receiving a request to know, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 calendar days and provide information about how we will process your request. The information provided will describe our verification process and when you should expect a response from us (unless we have already granted or denied the request). In general, we will respond to the request within 45 calendar days from the day we receive it; but, if necessary, we may take up to an additional 45 calendar days to respond to your request. If an extension is needed, we will notify you of the extension and explain the reasons that responding to your request will take more than 45 calendar days.

Once verification is complete, we will associate the information provided by you in the verifiable consumer request to any personal information previously collected by us about you. We will take reasonable steps to disclose and deliver, free of charge to you, the information requested. We will provide an individualized response to requests regarding categories of personal information as required by applicable law; but, we may refer you to our general practices outlined in this Privacy Policy when our response would be the same for all consumers and all the information that is otherwise required to be in a response is presented here.

If you do not have a password-protected account with us, we may respond to a request to know related to household personal information by providing aggregate household information. If all consumers of a household jointly request access to specific pieces of personal information for the household, we will comply with the request if we can verify the identity of each consumer.

Delivery. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the information will be provided in writing and we will respond by mail or electronically (at your option) in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the information to another entity. Alternatively, at our option, we may offer a secure self-service portal for consumers to access, view, and receive a portable copy of their personal information. If we do not take action on your request, we will, without delay and, at the latest, within the time period permitted for our response, inform you of the reasons that we did not take action and any rights you may have to appeal the decision.

Limitations. We are committed to responding to requests to know in accordance with applicable law. However, your rights are subject to the following limitations:

We are only required to respond to requests to know twice in a 12-month period.
We are not permitted to provide specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to (1) the security of that personal information, (2) the consumer’s account with us, or (3) the security of our systems or networks.
We are prohibited from disclosing Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, health insurance numbers, medical identification numbers, account passwords, and security questions and answers.

Denials. If we deny a verified request to know specific pieces of personal information, in whole or in part, because of a conflict with federal or state law, or an exception under applicable law, we will inform the requestor and explain the basis for the denial. If the request is denied only in part, we will disclose the other information sought by the consumer.

Request to Delete. You have a right to request the erasure/deletion of certain personal information collected or maintained by us. As described below, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any service providers (as defined under applicable law) to delete your personal information from their records.

Submission Instructions: You may submit a request to delete via our Request Portal or via email at jtvprivacyrequest@jtv.com. We may present you with the choice to delete select portions of your personal information, but a global option to delete all personal information will be offered and more prominently presented.

Verification Process. We are required by law to verify the identities of those who submit requests to delete, and our verification process is described in detail below. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity.

If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request to delete, we may deny the request. We will, however, treat the request as a request to opt-out of sales of personal information.
If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor to the degree of certainty required, we will state this in our response and explain why we have no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor.

Response Process. Upon receiving a request to delete, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 calendar days and provide information about how we will process your request. The information provided will describe our verification process and when you should expect a response from us (unless we have already granted or denied the request). We will use a two-step process for online requests to delete in which you must first, clearly submit the request to delete and then second, separately confirm that you want your personal information deleted. In general, we will respond to the request within 45 calendar days from the day we receive it; but, if necessary, we may take up to an additional 45 calendar days to respond to your request. If an extension is needed, we will notify you of the extension and explain the reasons that responding to your request will take more than 45 calendar days.

Once verification is complete, and subject to the limitations as provided below, we will take one of the following actions: (1) permanently and completely erase the personal information on our existing systems (with the exception of archived or back-up systems); (2) de-identify the personal information; or (3) aggregate the personal information. For personal information stored on archived or backup systems, we may delay compliance with your request to delete for that data until the archived or backup system is next accessed or used.

If you do not have a password-protected account with us, we may respond to a request to delete related to household personal information by providing aggregate household information. If all consumers of a household jointly request deletion for the household, we will comply with the request if we are able to verify the identity of each consumer.

Delivery. In our response to you, we will specify the manner in which we deleted your personal information. We will also inform you of our obligation to maintain a record of the request under California law.

Limitations. Certain limitations are placed on our obligation to delete under applicable law. For example, we are not required to delete your personal information if it is necessary for us (or our service providers) to maintain your personal information in order to:

Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected;
Fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law;
Provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you;
Otherwise perform a contract between us and you;
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;
Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us;
Comply with a legal obligation; and
Otherwise use the personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which the information was provided.

Denials. If we deny your request, we will (1) inform you that we will not comply with the request and describe the basis for the denial, including any applicable statutory and regulatory exceptions; (2) delete the personal information that is not subject to the exception; and (3) not use the personal information retained for any other purpose than provided for by the applicable exception(s).

Verification Procedures.

To determine whether the individual making the request is the consumer about whom we have collected information, we are required by law to verify your identity by matching the identifying information provided by you in the request to the personal information that we already maintain about you. As a part of this process, you will be required to provide one or more of the following: your first name, last name, email address, primary address, and if you have an account on JTV.com, the email address associated with your JTV.com account, the primary phone number associated with your JTV.com account, the amount of the last item you purchased form JTV.com, and your date of birth.

If we cannot verify your identity based on the information already maintained, we may request additional information from you. We will try to limit the information collected, and we will only use this information to verify your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. Except as required by law, we will delete any new personal information collected for the purposes of verification as soon as practical after processing the request.

We require different levels of authentication based upon the nature of the personal information requested. A more stringent verification process is applied when (1) sensitive or valuable personal information is involved, (2) there is a greater risk of harm to the consumer, and/or (3) there is a higher likelihood that fraudulent or malicious actors would request the information.

Password-Protected Account. If you have a password-protected account with us, at our option, we may verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for the account. We may require you to re-authenticate yourself before disclosing or deleting your data. If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity on or from the password-protected account, we will not comply with the request until further verification procedures determine that the request is authentic and that the consumer making the request is the person about whom we have collected information.

Request to Know Categories. For a request to know categories of personal information, we will verify the identity of the consumer making the request to a “reasonable degree of certainty” by matching at least two (2) data points provided by the consumer with data points maintained by us, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying the consumer.

Request to Know Specific Information. For a request to know specific pieces of personal information, we will verify the identity of the consumer making the request to a “reasonably high degree of certainty” by matching at least three (3) pieces of personal information provided by the consumer with personal information maintained by us, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying the consumer, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. We are required by law to maintain all signed declarations as part of our record-keeping obligations.

Request to Delete. For a request to delete, we will verify the identity of the consumer to a “reasonable degree of certainty” or a “reasonably high degree of certainty,” depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and the risk of harm to the consumer posed by unauthorized deletion. For example, the deletion of family photographs and documents may require a reasonably high degree of certainty, while the deletion of browsing history may require a reasonable degree of certainty.

Excessive Requests. If requests from a consumer are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either (1) charge a reasonable fee, or (2) refuse to act on the request and notify the consumer of the reason for refusing the request. If we charge a fee, the amount will be based upon the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested.

How do I designate an authorized agent to make a request on my behalf under the CCPA?

You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf by email at jtvprivacyrequest@jtv.com. If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, we may require you to: (1) provide the authorized agent with written permission to do so; and (2) verify your identity directly with us. However, we will not require these actions if you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to the California Probate Code. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on their behalf.

Will I receive different treatment if I exercise any of my rights under the CCPA?

No. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us due to your exercise of the rights provided by the CCPA. We do not offer financial incentives and price or service differences, and we do not discriminate against consumers for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
