Privacy Rights
You have the right to opt out of any sharing or sales of your personal information, which you can exercise by following the instructions here or by visiting our Services with a legally-recognized opt-out preference signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control (see opt-out form for details).

Please see the "Your Privacy Rights and Choices" section above for more information about your privacy rights, how to exercise them (including as an authorized agent of someone else), and how we will verify requesters. We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise your rights under the CCPA.

If you are submitting a rights request as an authorized agent, you are required to submit proof of your authorization to make the request, such as a valid power of attorney or proof that you have signed permission from the individual who is the subject of the request. Please do not provide any sensitive personal information in connection with this request, such as a driver's license or other government-issued ID. In some cases, we may be required to contact the individual who is the subject of the request to verify their own identity or confirm you have permission to submit this request.

Notice of Financial Incentives
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, inferences drawn about your preferences, and other categories of personal information that relate to or are reasonably capable of being associated with you. 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. In some cases, we may provide additional terms and conditions for a financial incentive, 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.

Shine the Light Law
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.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS

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.

Legal Basis for Processing
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.

Data Retention
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 VIII., D.

Processing in the United States
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.

Data Subject Requests
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:
