ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR SPECIFIC JURISDICTIONS

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant their residents certain rights and require additional disclosures (“State Laws”). If you are a resident of one of these states, this section applies to you.

Our Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you, as well as our targeted advertising and analytics practices . As required by certain State Laws, below we use two different tables to explain this same information, including the categories of personal information we collect (and have collected over the preceding 12 months), the types of entities to which we disclose such information, and the ways we use each category of information.

We disclose the following categories of personal information to third parties for the purpose of engaging in targeted advertising and other marketing activities, including to expand the reach and effectiveness of our own marketing campaigns and for the third parties’ own marketing purposes. These disclosures may be considered “sales” or “sharing” or use of personal information for “targeted advertising” under certain State Laws.

Some of the activities described in the “Targeted Advertising and Analytics” section above may be considered “sales” or “sharing” of your personal information or use of your information for “targeted advertising” under the law that applies to you. You may opt out of these activities following the prompts here or by visiting our Services with a legally-recognized opt-out preference signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control.

In addition, we disclose your information to other entities for marketing purposes as described in “Disclosures of Personal Information” above. Such disclosures may constitute “sales” of your personal information under the State Laws, and you may opt out of such activities by following the instructions here.

You have the right to (1) request to know more about and access your personal information, including in a portable format, (2) request deletion of your personal information, and (3) request correction of inaccurate personal information. To request access, deletion, or correction of your personal information, please fill out our webform. You may also call 1.866.942.8860 to submit a request. Once we receive the request, we will validate the information that you provide and send a message to the email address you provided in the request. Please follow the instructions in that email to verify your email address and/or provide any additional information that may be needed to process your request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

If we deny your request, you may have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us at info@johnnywas.com . If you have concerns about the result of an appeal, you may contact the attorney general in the state where you reside.

If you are from California, Colorado, or Connecticut and submit a rights request via an authorized agent, we me ask your authorized agent to submit proof of their authorization to make the request, such as a valid power of attorney or proof that the agent has signed permission from you to make the request. In some cases, we may also contact you to verify your identity or confirm you have authorized the request.

We offer various financial incentives. For example, we may provide discounts or other benefits to customers who sign up to receive our marketing emails or marketing text messages. When you participate in a financial incentive, we collect personal information from you, such as identifiers (like your email address or phone number), commercial information (like your purchase preferences and interests or purchase history), professional information, inferences drawn about your preferences, and other categories of personal information that relate to or are reasonably capable of being associated with you. We share this information with our cloud service providers and marketing and advertising partners. You can opt into a financial incentive by following the sign-up or participation instructions provided. If you later decide to opt out, you may do so at any time, such as by following the unsubscribe instructions in the applicable program’s terms and conditions, promotional emails, or contacting us. If you request that we delete any of your personal information that is essential to providing you with the financial incentive, we will not be able to provide you with the benefits of that program (e.g., if you ask us to delete your email address, we will no longer be able to provide you with early access to sales or other benefits via email). In some cases, we may provide additional terms and conditions, which we will provide to you when you sign up. The value of your personal information is reasonably related to the value of the offer or discount presented to you.

California's "Shine the Light" law requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses' practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Alternately, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such disclosures. We have such a policy. If you want to opt out of these disclosures of your information please submit your request here.

FOR CUSTOMERS RESIDING OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES

If you are making a purchase on our website that will be shipped outside of the United States, such purchase is made through a separate company, Global-e, rather than Johnny Was. When you purchase through Global-e, the information you provide and other transaction information is received by both Global-e and Johnny Was (except for payment information, which is processed exclusively by Global-e or its payment processors). Johnny Was will handle this information in accordance with this Policy. Global-e and its payment processor will handle this information in accordance with Global-e’s (or the payment processor’s) privacy policy. If you have questions about how Global-e collects, uses, and discloses your personal information, please contact Global-e or review its privacy-policy.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have certain rights and protections under the law regarding the processing of your personal data, and this section applies to you.

When we process your personal data, we will do so in reliance on the following lawful bases:

• To perform our responsibilities under our contract with you (e.g., providing the products and services you requested).
• When we have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data to operate our business or protect our interests (e.g., to provide, maintain, and improve our products and services, conduct data analytics, and communicate with you).
• To comply with our legal obligations (e.g., to maintain a record of your consents and track those who have opted out of marketing communications).
• When we have your consent to do so (e.g., when you opt in to receive marketing communications from us). When consent is the legal basis for our processing your personal data, you may withdraw such consent at any time.

We store other personal data for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance obligations. For example, we retain a record of your transaction to protect ourselves in the event of a legal dispute; consequently, we generally retain this data for at least the statutory limitation period on contractual claims.

You may be presented with an opportunity to receive information and/or marketing offers from Johnny Was and our affiliated businesses, partners and agents. If you agree at that time to receive such communications, your Personal Information will be disclosed to that third party (or parties). For more information, please refer to the Marketing Communications section above.

Johnny Was is a U.S. company, and so your personal data will be processed by us in the United States. The privacy laws in the U.S. may not be as protective as those in your country of residence. Wherever your personal data is processed, we will handle it in accordance with this Policy. Where required by law, we provide adequate protection for the transfer of personal data, such as by executing Standard Contractual Clauses. You may contact us at info@johnnywas.com if you have any questions about the safeguards we implement.

Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you and to receive your data in a portable format, the right to ask that your personal data be corrected or erased, and the right to object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@johnnywas.com . In addition, please review the options we offer in the Your Privacy Rights and Choices section.

If you have a concern about our processing of personal data that we are not able to resolve, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority where you reside. Contact details for your Data Protection Authority can be found using the links below:
