●      Referring and exit web pages and URLs, and search terms you may have used to find our Site;

●      The areas within the Site that you visit and your activities there, including remembering you and your preferences, products you viewed, and search terms or other data you may have entered on the Site;

Device, internet, and network activity is generally sourced indirectly from you (e.g., from observing your actions on this Site) or from third party service providers, such as a data analytics provider like Google Analytics or similar technologies. This information may be used to provide you with personalized content, information, and to send you coupons, offers, and other information, and/or to deliver relevant advertising. This information may also be used for analytics and to help us update, develop, and improve the Site and our products, services, and advertising.  Please see our discussion of “Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies” and “Ads and Information About You” in the sections below.

For location information, some of our Services include features based on users’ actual locations (for instance, to help you find a store carrying our products) and may report on users’ current locations (“Location-Based Services”). If you use Location-Based Services, we collect and store information about your location at the time you use those Location-Based Services (in addition to some automatically collected geolocation data). This information comes from a variety of sources depending on the device you use to access the Services; for example, a mobile phone may report its GPS location at the time Location-Based Services are used.

If you do not wish for us or our service providers to collect and use location information, you may disable the location features on your device. Consult your device settings for instructions. Please note that if you disable such features, your ability to access certain features, Services, content, promotions, or products may be limited or disabled.

Information Collected from Third Parties

The Site includes functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between the Site and a third-party website or application. The use of this functionality may involve the third-party site providing information to us, or us providing information to the third party. For example, we may use an e-commerce vendor, such as Shopify, to host some of our shopping experiences, and that vendor may provide us with your order information. We also might collect information from you, such as your username or handle, general location, or other information, from our social media pages, or from when you use our chat features or post messages via blogs, message boards or other interactive forums. We may also receive or transmit information to third parties if you view video content on our Site. Other examples include that we might obtain information about the traffic and usage of our Site from third parties. We might also provide links to make it easier to send a communication from the Site, or we may use third parties to make it easier to send emails or post to social media (like a “Share” or “Forward” button). These third parties also use cookies and other tracking technologies to capture information about your interactions with our Site and our Company.

Joseph Abboud does not have control over the information that is collected, used, and shared by these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of these third parties to understand their privacy practices.

The information they collect includes information about your visits to our Sites, such as the pages you have viewed. This collection and ad targeting takes place on our Sites and on third-party websites that participate in the ad network.

9.    Automated Decision Making

Automated decision making refers to a decision that is taken solely on the basis of automated processing of your Personal Information. We use innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence, to help us identify and predict through algorithm methods, products, services or other information that may be of interest to you based on the information you provide. We may, for instance, use this technology in our automated chatbot, or in suggesting to you products that you may like. This may lead to automated decisions about you being taken using technology without human involvement. It may involve automatic decisions regarding our products, services and other information. The purpose is to improve your experience of our products and services by way of offering you tailored products and services and being able to respond effectively and swiftly to any of your feedback. When we use automated decision making to identify potentially fraudulent activity regarding payment, or to address potential security issues, you may not opt out of this technology. For any other purpose for which we use your personal information for an automated decision, we do not use your Personal Information to produce an adverse impact on you. We will ensure robust and adequate safeguards are in place to protect any of your personal information used for these purposes.

We will retain and use your Personal Information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our third-party data storage providers.

We utilize the following criteria to determine the length of time for which we retain Personal Information:

●      How long we have had a relationship with you or provided our Services to you

●      The business purposes for which the information is used, and the length of time for which the information is required to achieve those purposes;

●      Whether we are required to retain the information, or the information is otherwise necessary, in order to: comply with legal obligations or contractual commitments: defend against potential legal claims: detect or prevent potential illegal activity or actions in violation of our policies and procedures; secure our systems and online environment; or protect health and safety;

●      The privacy impact on individuals of ongoing retention; and

●      The manner in which information is maintained and flows through our systems, and how best to manage the lifecycle of information in light of the volume and complexity of the systems in our infrastructure.

Cookie Opt-Out Tools

You can control the use of cookies on most web browsers, please use the links below to modify your web browser’s settings on the most popular browsers:

•          Apple Safari

•          Google Chrome

•          Microsoft Edge

•          Mozilla Firefox

If you have any questions about cookies or to generally find out more about cookies, visit this site.  Please note that if your browser (like some Safari browsers) is configured to reject opt-out cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt-out may not be effective. We always do our best to honor your choices, but because some choices are set at the browser or device level, you may have to make these choices multiple times if you use different browsers or different Devices.

Google and Meta Opt-Out Tools

You may be able to disable some Tracking Technologies using tools provided by the third party.  We do not control these tools.

You can block Google Analytics from accessing your online activity with a browser add-on here.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally agreed upon standard for what an organization should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.

To exercise any of these rights, you may make a request to confirm, access, correct, delete, obtain a copy, or opt-out of the processing of your personal data for targeting advertising, sale, or profiling by clicking the Your Privacy Choices link or contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section below.  Please include your state of residence.

For emails, please include “Privacy Rights” as the subject line. You must include your full name, email address, and attest to the state in which you are a resident.

We will process your request within 45 days or let you know if we need additional time or cannot process your request. If you make this request by telephone, we may also ask you to provide the request in writing so that we may verify your identity.

Right to Opt Out

You may have the right to opt out of the processing of your personal data for purposes of (i) targeted advertising, (ii) the sale of personal data, or (iii) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer. To exercise your right, please click on this link.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some browsers and browser extensions support opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales. GPC is a web browser-level setting, maintained by either a browser or a browser extension, that a user or privacy-focused technology can set. In certain regions, when we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices as required by applicable law.

Appeals of Our Decisions

In some jurisdictions, you may appeal to us if we refuse to take action on your exercise of certain choices described above. In order to appeal such a refusal, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below with the subject line “Appeal of Refusal to Take Action on Privacy Request” and provide the relevant information in the email.

If we decline to take action on any request you make, we will provide you with the information required by the applicable law where you live. This may include an explanation of why we declined your request, information on how to appeal our decision, and/or how to make a complaint to your state Attorney General.

17.Your Canadian Privacy Rights

Canadian laws provide specific privacy rights to our Canadian customers. If you are a resident of Canada, this section applies in addition to all other applicable rights and information contained in this Policy.

Where applicable, We follow applicable Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws (“Canadian Privacy Law”), including:

●      The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)

●      Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta PIPA)

●      British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (BC PIPA)

●      Québec's Act respecting the protection of Personal Information in the private sector (Québec Act).

Consent

In most cases, we rely on implied consent to collect, use, or disclose your Personal Information. In some circumstances, including those involving sensitive Personal Information, we obtain express consent. Where you have provided your consent to the collection, use, and transfer of your Personal Information (whether orally, in writing, or electronically), you may have the legal right to withdraw your consent under certain circumstances. In addition to the methods described above with respect to your privacy choices, you may withdraw your consent by submitting a request using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, We may not be able to provide you with a particular product or service. We will explain the impact to you at the time of your request to help you with your decision.

Use of Your Personal Information

We will not collect, use, or disclose Personal Information except for the identified purposes identified above (See Disclosure of Your Information), unless we have received additional consent or the processing is authorized without consent. Where we engage service providers who utilize the Personal Information we provide to them, those relationships are governed by a written agreement regarding the confidentiality of your information.

Canadian Access and Challenge Rights

Canadian Privacy Law provides the right to receive information about the existence, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information and be provided access to that information. You may also challenge the accuracy and completeness of your Personal Information and have it amended as appropriate. Depending on the nature of the challenged information, amendment may involve correction, deletion, or addition of information.

Exercising Your Canadian Privacy Rights

If you have an account with Us, you may view and update your account information (as noted above) directly by logging into your account. To submit a request for access to information not contained within your account, or to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your Personal Information, you may also submit a written request using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below. When submitting a request, We also may require you to confirm your identity and your residency to obtain the information. For emails, please include “Canadian Privacy Rights” as the subject line. You must include your full name, email address, and attest to the fact that you are a Canadian resident, and provide your province of residence. We will begin processing your request once you have completed the verification process and will respond within the timeframe required by law.

If We cannot substantively respond to your request in a timely manner, We will notify you and state the reason for the delay. Under certain circumstances, We may not be able to fulfill your request, such as when doing so would interfere with Our regulatory or legal obligations, where We cannot verify your identity, or if your request involves disproportionate cost or effort. However, We will respond to your request within a reasonable time, as required by law, and provide an explanation.
