JPMS™ Privacy and Cookie Notice (United States)

Thank you for visiting the John Paul Mitchell Systems® website. We have created this policy to provide you with information about how we collect, use, share and protect information from our websites, mobile applications and social media pages (collectively called the "Sites"), from online purchases, or when you otherwise interact with us. This notice applies to consumers and visitors of our Sites.

Your use of the Sites and your other interactions with us constitute your acceptance of this Privacy and Cookie Notice and consent to the practices described.

1. INFORMATION COLLECTED

This section describes the information we collect, including information that you provide to us, information automatically collected and information from third parties. We may combine information that we collect via one method (e.g., a website, our digital advertising) with information that we have collected via another method (e.g., an offline event). We do this to get a more complete view of our consumers, which, in turn, allows us to serve you better and with more customization.

Information You Provide

If you register at a Site; make purchases through a Site or a Paul Mitchell School; join a loyalty program; enter a contest or promotion; social media and blogs; submit a customer service request, consumer survey, photo, video or product review; sign up to receive emails or other offers or communications, we collect and store the information provided. This information includes Personal Information (information that can be used to identify you as an individual) such as your name, social media handle, email, telephone number, home address, and payment information (such as account or credit card number). You may also be asked for demographic information (such as age, product preferences, beauty needs, zip code) or location information.

Automatically Collected Information

Mobile Services/Apps: Certain of our mobile apps offer opt-in, geo-location services and push notifications. Geo-location services provide location-based content and services, such as store locators, local weather, promotional offers and other personalized content. Push notifications can include discounts, reminders or details about local events or promotions. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services or push notifications. If you consent to location services, we will collect information about the Wi-Fi routers closest to you and the cell IDs of the towers closest to you to provide location-based content and services.

Mobile Message Service/SMS: By consenting to John Paul Mitchell Systems' SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from (“Mobile Message Service”) and we will collect and use your mobile number to maintain and administer our Mobile Message Service. With your permission, we may send text messages about new products, promotions and other updates including “Checkout Reminders,” and we use webhooks to trigger the Checkout Reminders messaging system. Please review the John Paul Mitchell System Mobile Message Service Terms & Conditions for more information about our Mobile Message Service, including information on how to unsubscribe or update your personal information.

Site Usage Information: JPMS and its third-party service providers may also use a variety of technologies that passively or automatically collect information about how the Sites are accessed and used ("Usage Information"), including but not limited to your browser type, device type, operating system, application version, the pages served to you, the time you browse, preceding page views, and your use of features or applications on the Sites.

Device Identifiers: JPMS also automatically collects an IP address or other unique identifier information ("Device Identifier") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, "Device") you use to access the Sites or on third party websites that publish our advertising. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. For mobile devices, a Device Identifier is a unique string of numbers and letters stored on your mobile device that identifies it. We may use a Device Identifier to, among other things, administer the Sites; help diagnose problems with our servers; analyze trends; track users' web page movements; help identify you and your shopping cart; deliver advertising and gather broad demographic information.

Cookies: Like many websites, we use "Cookies," which are data files placed on a web browser when it is used to visit the Sites to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience, including tailoring advertisements. Cookies may also be used to associate you with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and, if you so choose, enable interaction between your activities on the Sites and your activities on such social networking sites.

In addition, our website uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping bag, including when you have abandoned your bag and this information is used to determine when to send checkout reminder messages via SMS or email.

If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; or set your browser to automatically not accept any cookies. However, please be aware that some features and services on our Sites may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your account. In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests. To learn more about cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

Pixels or Web Beacons: We use pixel tags or web beacons, which are transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email and indicate that a page or email has been viewed or tell your browser to get content from another server.

5. ADVERTISING/TARGETED ADVERTISING; HOW TO OPT-OUT

JPMS licenses technology to serve advertisements on its own Sites and within its content as that content is served across the Internet. In addition, JPMS may use third parties to serve advertisements on the Sites and around the web, measure the performance of the Sites and the viewing of our content and provide analytics services. These ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or analytics service providers may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on your Device and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. We and our network advertisers may target advertisements for products and services in which you might be interested based on your visits to both the Sites and other websites or based on location data, from your Device. We may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements.

If you prefer to not receive targeted advertising, you can opt out of certain network advertising programs through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out Page. Options are Device-specific, so if you use multiple Devices, you may need to opt out on each one. The NAI Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.
