Protecting
consumers private information is our priority.
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to G & J
Brooks Enterprises INC, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter,
variously “Retailer”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), and our products,
services, website, any mobile versions and/or applications related thereto, and
any sites Retailer may have now or in the future, including without limitation
its software-as-a-service platform that enables us to market and promote our
store information, specials, promotions and coupons to consumers (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy outlines our principles
for collecting, using and protecting information that we maintain about any
person whose personal data is being collected, held or processed by us.
By using the Services in any manner, the
user indicates to Retailer that it has read and accepts our Privacy Policy and
consents to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If the user does not accept this Privacy
Policy or does not meet or comply with the provisions set forth herein, then
the user may not use the Services. We
take the privacy of consumer information very seriously, and we will not share
personally identifiable information of consumers in ways unrelated to those
described in this Privacy Policy without providing the user with an opportunity
to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated use. If required by
applicable law, we will seek express consent from consumers to process personal
data (i) provided by consumers and/or (ii) collected during the consumer’s use
of the Services. Any consent shall be
entirely voluntary. In the event a user
does not provide consent to use or process a consumer’s personal data, then a
user may not access and/or use the Services.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When
a user uses the Services, a user may provide Retailer with two main types of
information: (1) personally identifiable information that a user knowingly
chooses to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general
user information that does not contain personally identifiable information,
which is collected on an aggregate basis as a user browses and uses the
Services. We collect information from a user when a user (a) uses and/or accesses
the Services, (b) registers an account, (c) opens and/or responds to our
emails, (d) contacts Retailer, (e) visits any page online that displays our
content, (f) makes purchases through the Services, and/or (g) provides
information to any of our service providers, customers, partners, and/or other
consumers.
Personally-Identifiable Information a
User Chooses to Provide
We
may ask for certain personal information from a user for the purpose of
providing to a user content and/or services that a user requests. We
collect personal information such as: (i) personal and/or business
contact information (including name, telephone number, email and address, and
business website address); (ii) financial information (such as checking account
information, credit card number, expiration date, verification number, and
billing address); (iii) username and password; (iv) demographic information (including age, birthdate and gender); (v)
location information (such as geographic location of the device a user is using);
and/or (vi) other business information required for Retailer to provide the
Services. Once a user registers for an account, a user has opted in to
receive electronic communications from Retailer. Retailer may also provide the user with the
opportunity to participate in surveys through the Services. If a user participates, we will request
certain personally identifiable information.
Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and a user therefore
has a choice whether to disclose such information.
Information We Collect Automatically
Cookies: In an effort
to be transparent with our data collection practice and the technologies we use
to provide the Services, the following explains how we use Cookies. We use
Cookies and web log files to improve the website experience and quality of the
Services, and to customize the experience, by tracking website usage and
trends, conducting research and development for additional services, and
determining marketing efforts. A “Cookie”
is a tiny data file that resides on a computer, mobile phone, or other device,
and allows Retailer to recognize consumers when consumers return to our website
using the same device and web browser and enables Retailer to collect
information about how a user uses our Services.
Information gathered through Cookies may include the date and time of
visits, the pages viewed, and time spent at using the Service. If a user does not agree to our use of
Cookies, the user should set the browser settings accordingly or not use the
Services. Retailer uses Cookies and web log files for the following, which may
include without limitation (i) to track usage and trends, (ii) to improve the
quality of the Services, (iii) to customize the user experience and/or (iv) to
compile anonymous, aggregated information that allow us to understand how our
Services are used. Cookies are
categorized by how long they are stored and their function. The Cookies Retailer uses are as follows:
·
Persistent
Cookies: Persistent Cookies remain on
a visitor’s device for a set period of time specified in the Cookie. They are
activated each time that the visitor visits the Services that created that
particular Cookie.
·
Session
Cookies: Session Cookies are
temporary and deleted from a computer when a user closes the web browser. They
allow Retailer to link the actions of a user while using the Services.
·
Strictly
Necessary Cookies: Strictly necessary
Cookies are essential to navigate around the Services and to use its features.
·
Performance
Cookies: Performance Cookies collect anonymous
data for statistical purposes on how consumers use the Services, they don’t
contain personal information and are used to improve the user experience.
·
Functionality
Cookies: Functionality Cookies allow
Retailer to operate the Services in accordance with a consumers’ choices, such
as ‘remembering’ a user in between visits.
A
user may remove or block Cookies using the settings in the browser, but in some
cases that may impact a consumers’ ability to use the Services and/or impact
the user experience while using the Services.
By accessing or using the Services, user consents to the placement of
Cookies on the consumers’ device as described in this Privacy Policy. If a user prefers not to receive Cookies
through the Services, the user may control how the browser responds to Cookies
by adjusting the privacy and security settings of the web browser.
Device
Data: We use device data, which is
information concerning a device the user uses to access, use, and/or interact
with the Services, such as operating system type and/or mobile device model,
browser type, domain, and other system settings, the language the system uses
and the country and time zone of the device, geo-location, unique device
identifier and/or other device identifier, mobile phone carrier identification,
and device software platform and firmware information.
Aggregate: We may collect non-identifying and
statistical information about the use of our Services, such as how many
visitors visit a specific page, how long they stay on that page and which
links, if any, they click on, system configuration information, and/or other
interactions with the Services. This
information represents a generic overview of our consumers, including their
collective habits. Information collected in the aggregate is not associated
with the user as an individual.
Analytics: We use
analytic software to gather statistics and usage trends for product and service
improvement purposes. The Services may
record data from a consumer’s phone, tablet, or computer such as how frequently
the user uses the Services, what actions the user takes and performance data.
Other
Tracking Technologies: We may
supplement information the user provides to us with information from other
sources, such as information to validate and/or update a consumer’s address,
payment card and/or other demographic information. This information is used to maintain the
accuracy of information on our Services and for internal analysis. We may also
use clear gifs, pixel tags and web beacons, which are tiny graphic images
placed on website pages and/or in our emails that allow us to determine whether
the user has performed specific actions and are further used to track online
movements of our consumers. In contrast
to Cookies, which are stored on a consumer’s computer’s hard drive, clear gifs
are embedded invisibly on web pages. We
do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to a consumer’s personally
identifiable information.
Third
Party Services:To
support the services we provide to the user, we may use services hosted by
third parties that may use cookies and various tracking technologies and may
collect information sent by a browser as part of a web page request, including
‘Internet Protocol’ addresses, browser software, and/or clickstream patterns.
If such third-party services collect information, they do so anonymously without
identifying individual visitors.
However, we may link the information we record using tracking technology
to personal information we collect. In
addition, we may allow third parties who list services to use Cookies in
connection with the use of the Services.
They may collect and store the same type of information and use it
similarly to Retailer, as described above. All such third parties are
prohibited from using a consumer’s personal information except to provide these
services to Retailer, and such third parties are required to maintain the
confidentiality of a consumer’s information. User agrees to release Retailer
from any and all liability arising from any unauthorized disclosure of a
consumer’s personal information due to a third-party services data breach.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION

The
information collected in the aggregate enables Retailer to better understand a
consumer’s use of the Services and to enhance a consumer’s enjoyment. We may
use financial information to enroll a user in one of our subscription plans
and/or with respect to other related services in which a user elects to
participate. If a user uses the
Services, the user agrees to receive certain communications from us including
but not limited to the following:
Special Offers, Newsletters and Updates. We will
occasionally send a user information on products, special deals, promotions and
newsletters. Out of respect for a
consumer’s privacy, a user may elect not to receive these types of
communications by contacting us at admin.jbsupermart@qwestoffice.net.
Customer Service. Based upon
the personally identifiable information a user provides us, we will communicate
with a user in response to a consumer’s inquiries and reviews, to provide the
services a user requests and to manage a consumer’s account. We will
communicate with consumers by email or telephone, as such user may elect. Customers can reach Retailer by email at admin.jbsupermart@qwestoffice.net
and/or by phone at (505)268-4123.
Parties
with whom we may share a consumer’s information:
Service
Providers. We may share a consumer’s personally
identifiable information as well as information from tools like Cookies, log
files, and device identifiers and location data (such as usage data,
referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.), with
employees, contractors, and/or agents that help Retailer provide the Services
to a user (“Service Providers”). Our Service Providers will be given
access to a consumer’s information as is reasonably necessary to provide the
Services. Certain Service Providers will automatically collect non-identifying
information about a consumer’s use of the Services and Retailer shall not have
any liability related thereto.
Compliance
with Laws. Retailer will not disclose a consumer’s
personal information to third parties except as set forth in this Privacy
Policy and in the following circumstances: (i) to investigate and defend
Retailer members against any third party claims and/or allegations and/or
otherwise to protect Retailer from liability, (ii) to investigate, prevent
and/or take action regarding suspected and/or actual illegal activities, (iii)
to assist government enforcement agencies, respond to a legal process and/or
comply with the law, (iv) to exercise or protect the rights, property and/or
personal safety of the consumers of the Services and/or (v) to protect the
security and/or integrity of the Service.
Business Transfer. If we sell or otherwise
transfer part or all of Retailer or our assets to another organization (e.g.,
in the course of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation, etc.), a consumer’s information such as name and
email address, user content and/or any other information collected through the
Services may be among the items sold and/or transferred.
INFORMATION CHOICES
User Information Choices
We
respect user privacy and give consumers an opportunity to opt out of receiving
announcements of certain information.
Although we think that consumers will benefit from a more personalized
experience when we know more about the user and what the user likes, the user
can limit the information the user provides to Retailer, and the user can limit
the communications that Retailer sends to the user. If the user visits the Services and
volunteers personally identifiable information, the user can opt out of receiving
notifications, and the user may review, modify, update, and/or delete such
personally identifiable information by contacting and/or by changing the user
preferences on the Service. Please be
aware that even after a user requests a change and it is processed, Retailer
may, for a time, retain residual information about such user in its backup
and/or archival copies of its database, and reserves the right to access and
utilize collected user data in the future.
Please be aware that we may still email consumers non-commercial emails
related to a consumer’s account and a consumer’s transactions through the
Services. Following termination and/or
deactivation of a consumer’s account, Retailer may retain collected information
and data (including without limitation a consumer’s profile information) for a
commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, and/or audit purposes, and
reserves the right to access and utilize collected user data in the future. In
some cases, if a user chooses not to provide Retailer with requested
information, a user may not be able to use and/or access all of the
Services.
California Privacy Rights
Under
California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California residents are
entitled to receive the right to access and obtain a copy of a consumer’s
personal information. A user may write us and ask for records of any and all
personal information. The CCPA requires businesses to disclose (1) the
categories of personal information the business collected about individuals,
(2) the categories of sources from which personal information is collected, (3)
the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal
information, (4) the categories of third parties with whom the business shares
personal information, and (5) the specific pieces of personal information the
business has collected about the individual. To obtain such information from
Retailer, please email a consumer’s request to admin.jbsupermart@qwestoffice.net
and we will provide a list of categories of personal information disclosed
within thirty (30) days of receiving such a request. This request may be made no more than once
per calendar year. We reserve the right
not to respond to requests submitted in ways other than those specified above. The followingexceptions may prevail with
respect to fulfillment of data access requests: (a) Retailer may not provide
personal data to an individual, if management determines that we cannot
identify the individual in our systems because the data we have has been
de-identified to the extent that identification is not possible; and/or (b)
Retailer may not provide personal data to an individual, if the individual is
involved in a civil or criminal proceeding with Retailer.
SERVICE ELIGIBILITY AND CHANGES
Children
and Minors. The Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers
get parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable
information online from children under the age of thirteen (13). Retailer does
not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under
the age of thirteen (13). User represents and warrants that user is at least
thirteen (13) years of age, provided that if a user is under eighteen (18)
years of age, a consumer’s use of the Services is subject to requirements of
parental consent. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the Services
to any person and/or entity and change eligibility criteria at any time. If we
learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age
thirteen (13), we will delete such information as quickly as possible. If a
user believes that a child under the age of thirteen (13) may have provided us
personal information, please contact us atadmin.jbsupermart@qwestoffice.net.
Changes
to Privacy Policy. In general, changes will be made to this
Privacy Policy to address new or modified laws and/or new or modified business
procedures. However, we may update this
Privacy Policy at any time, with or without advance notice, so please review it
periodically. We will update the ‘Last
Modified’ date above and may provide additional forms of notice of
modifications and/or updates as appropriate under the circumstances. A user can determine when this Privacy Policy
was last revised by referring to the date it was ‘Last Modified’ above. A consumer’s continued use of the Services
after any modification to this Privacy Policy will constitute a consumer’s
acceptance of such modifications and/or updates.
SECURITY
We
work hard to secure a consumer’s personal information from unauthorized access
to and/or unauthorized alteration, disclosure and/or destruction of information
we hold. Retailer has adopted
appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and
secure the personal information we process.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal
information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. A consumer’s account is protected by password for a
consumer’s privacy and security. We
periodically review our information collection, storage and processing
practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized
access to systems. When a consumer’s
bank account information is transmitted via the Services, it will be protected
by encryption technology. Because the internet is not a completely secure
environment, Retailer cannot warrant the security of any information a user
transmits to Retailer or guarantee that information on the Services may not be
accessed, disclosed, altered, and/or destroyed by breach of any of our
physical, technical and/or managerial safeguards. User is responsible for
maintaining the secrecy of a consumer’s unique password and account
information, and for controlling access to emails between a user and Retailer,
at all times. Users should limit access
to its computer and/or mobile device and/or browser and sign off after a user
has finished accessing its account. We are not responsible for the functionality,
privacy and/or security measures of any other organization and are not
responsible for the practices employed by any websites and/or services linked
to and/or from the Services, including the information and/or content contained
therein.
DATA RETENTION
We
will retain a consumer’s personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any
legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate
retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and
sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized
use and/or disclosure of a consumer’s personal data, the purposes for which we
process a consumer’s personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes
through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymize a
consumer’s personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with a user)
for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information
indefinitely without further notice to a user.
We may retain information (including without limitation a consumer’s
personally identifiable information) for a commercially reasonable time for
backup, archival, audit purposes, and/or to comply with legal obligations,
resolve disputes and enforce agreements. In some cases, if a user chooses not
to provide Retailer with requested information, a user may not be able to use
and/or access all of the Services. User can request further details of
retention periods for different aspects of a consumer’s personal data by
contacting us.

the Services are subject to United States laws, including those governing
privacy and security of a consumer’s information. By using the Services, a user

such consent) to the information collection, use and sharing practices

from those of other countries and may not be as protective as the laws in the
country where the user resides.
