Personal Information (defined below) we obtain through the Products, your communications with us, or from third parties. It also describes the choices available to you regarding the use of, your access to, and how to update and correct your personal information.
“Personal Information” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
Information Collection
We collect Personal Information when you choose to provide it to us including when you:
Register an account. Some of our Products give you the option of creating a user account (an “Account”). If you decide to create an Account, you will provide us with certain Personal Information, such as your user name and password. You are not required to register to use our Products.
Purchase a Jinx product. When you make a purchase, you are given the option of logging into an Account or checking out as a guest. In either case, when you purchase a Jinx product, you will provide us with Personal Information, such as your name, email address, and shipping address.
Make a payment. When you make a payment to Jinx, you may need to provide Personal Information to our third-party payment processors. Such Personal Information may include sensitive Personal Information, such as your credit card number.
Submit information to us. We collect information you submit to us. For example, when you post a review of a Jinx product on ThinkJinx.com or refer a friend to Jinx on ThinkJinx.com, we receive the information in your submission, including any Personal Information. If you choose to submit content to any public area of ThinkJinx.com, such content will be considered “public” and will not be subject to the privacy protections set forth herein.
Communicate with us. We may also collect Personal Information from you when you communicate with us. For example, you may send us Personal Information by writing an email to us, calling our customer service department, subscribing to the Jinx newsletter, or making a reservation for an event hosted by Jinx. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. Communication also includes SMS messages. We also collect your phone number and carrier information when you send SMS Messages.
Take a survey. From time to time, we may contact you to participate in online surveys. If you do decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information which may include Personal Information. For example, you may be asked to provide contact information as well as information about your height, weight, gender or date of birth.
Information you provide about a third party. If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about Jinx, we may collect your friend's Personal Information, such as name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to purchase a Jinx product. We store your friend’s information in order to send this one-time email and to track the success of our referral program.
Passive collection. Our websites and applications collect and store information that is generated automatically as you use them, including your preferences and anonymous usage statistics. This information may include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, the files viewed on our websites and applications (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. We use this data to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer our products. Non-personal information that we passively collect may be combined with other information about you, including Personal Information.
Tracking technologies. Jinx and its partners use cookies, pixels, server logs, and other similar technology to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions of our products. Non-personal information that we collect using these technologies may be combined with other information about you, including Personal Information.

If you place an order with a third-party retailer, that retailer will send your personal information to Jinx so that we can fulfill you order. We also collect information from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you information that we believe may be of interest to you.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site or SMS Messages, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number, and ordering preferences.
