This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect information that we learn about you as a result of your interaction with us through the websites on which this Policy is posted, including the websites that you may access using your mobile electronic device (collectively, the “Sites”), and through the services provided through the Sites (the “Services”).

If you do not wish to provide your consent and/or do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must discontinue all use of the Sites and/or the Services immediately.

WHEN DOES THIS POLICY APPLY?

This Policy applies solely to our online information collection, use and disclosure practices in connection with the Sites, and does not apply to any of our practices conducted offline.

This Policy is only applicable to the Sites and not to any other website or service you access from any of the Sites, or use, in connection with the Sites or Services. When you click on an advertisement or a logo displayed on any of the Sites which links you to a different website (including, without limitation, Facebook, Instagram, iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play, Spotify, Pandora, tumblr, Twitter and YouTube), or when you use any third-party app, tool, widget, plug-in or extension on the Sites or as part of any of the Services, information about you may be collected through automated means. We do not control, and are not responsible for, any third party’s collection and use of your personal information. You should refer to the privacy policies of such third parties to learn about their information collection, use and disclosure practices.

WHAT IS THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS POLICY?

This Policy is effective with each use as of the “last updated and effective” date set out at the top of this page. We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time, and all revisions will become effective upon the earlier of (a) posting of the revisions on the Sites, or (b) distribution of the revisions by electronic mail. For this reason, please visit this page on a regular basis and check the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy to ensure that you are familiar with the most recent version of this Policy. The use of any of the Sites and/or the Services after the effective date of any revisions means that you accept and agree to all such revisions.

WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU DO WE COLLECT AND HOW DO WE USE IT?

By accessing the Sites or using the Services, you may provide to us two types of information: (1) personally-identifiable information that you voluntarily choose to disclose to us, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card, debit card or other payment information; and (2) non-personally-identifiable information, which we collect through the use of cookies and tracking technologies.

You may be asked to submit personally-identifiable information to access or use certain aspects of the Services offered on the Sites. For example, when you create an account, subscribe to our mailing list, make a purchase, contact us, receive customer or technical support, or participate in chat rooms, forums or surveys, or in contests, sweepstakes or other promotions, you maybe be asked to submit personally-identifiable information. The personally-identifiable information that you provide to us allows us, among other things, to fulfill your service request or product order, respond to your questions, contact you about your account or your order, alert you of new products or services and new product and service features, inform you of being selected as a winner (when applicable), and/or inform you about new promotions, special events, and other offers that we think may be of interest to you.

We use cookies for a variety of purposes. We may use cookies for system administration, to assess the performance of the Sites and the Services, to enhance your online experience, and to personalize your use of the Sites. You may choose to disable cookies on your computer, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored on your computer (please consult instructions for your web browser). However, if you disable or block certain cookies, it is possible that some parts of the Sites or the Services will not be available to you.

We use tracking technologies, including web logs and web beacons (also called “clear GIFs,” “1×1 GIFs,” “pixel tags” or “pixels”), to allow our servers to automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit the Sites. This information includes the time and date, your Internet Protocol address, your geographic location (your zip code, your area code and/or your time zone), your browser type and version, the Sites and/or the Services that you use and when and how long you use them, and technical information that identifies your mobile device. We use this information to monitor and analyze how our users use the Sites and the Services, to provide customer service, and to maintain and improve the Services. We may also use this information to deliver content, including ads, relevant to your interests, on the Sites and on third-party websites. All purchases by any online visitor to the https://joesteven.com website, including adults or minors will be responsible for full payment. Ex. If a minor places an order, a parent/guardian must render payment on user’s behalf on any orders/purchases made on party site(s).

WILL WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH OTHER PARTIES?

We may use your personally-identifiable information and your non-personally-identifiable information to provide analyses of the users of the Sites and the Services, in the aggregate, to prospective partners, advertisers and other third parties in efforts to enhance user experience. We may also share your non-personally-identifiable information with our business partners for the purpose of their delivering quality content, including ads, on the Sites and on third-party websites.

We may disclose your personally-identifiable information to our employees, agents, contractors and sub-contractors, and to our related and affiliated entities, including, but not limited to, Sunset Records & Studio Company and their respective employees, agents, contractors and sub-contractors, for the limited purpose of enabling them to communicate with you directly about events and promotions that may be of interest to you.

Should such an event occur, we will use reasonable measures to notify you, either through e-mail and/or a prominent notice on the Sites.
Service Providers.We may share your personally-identifiable information with the service providers that we engage in connection with the Services and/or the Sites.

(https://www.shopify.com) to operate the on-line store and U.S. shopping cart at (https://joesteven.com); and Sunset Records https://sunset-records.com) to serve as the third-party administrator for the Sites, to maintain and administer the network for the Sites, and to provide all Services available through the Sites other than those provided by MailChimp, and Shopify Stores. These companies may access your personally-identifiable information that they need in order to perform services on our behalf.
Sweepstakes and Contests.If you choose to participate in any on-line promotions such as a sweepstakes or a contest on the Sites, your personally-identifiable information collected in connection with such promotion may be shared with the third-party sponsor of the promotion, or as otherwise provided in the Official Rules. You should carefully review the Official Rules of each promotion in which you choose to participate through the Sites, as the Official Rules may contain additional important information about a third party’s collection and use of your information. To the extent that the Official Rules of any promotion conflict with this Policy, the Official Rules will govern collection and use of your personally-identifiable information in conjunction with that particular promotion.

We will not share your personally-identifiable information with third parties for the purposes of their direct marketing unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure.

WHAT IS OUR POLICY ON TRACKING?

You may be able to adjust your browser’s settings to turn on a “do not track” feature. Although our policy may change in the future, because there is no uniform standard for “do not track” signal recognition currently, we do not support “do not track” and will not honor your web browser’s “do not track” signal.

We do not intentionally or knowingly allow other parties to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites, when you visit the Sites or use any of the Services.

WHAT SECURITY MEASURES DO WE TAKE?

The personally-identifiable information that you provide to us is stored on servers that are located in secured facilities with restricted access, and protected by protocols and procedures designed to ensure reasonable security of such information. In addition, we restrict access to your personally-identifiable information to those of our employees, independent contractors and agents who need to know this information in order to develop, operate and maintain the Sites and the Services. However, no data transmission over the Internet or through mobile telecommunications can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and, for this reason, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us or that is transmitted to us as a result of your use of the Sites and/or the Services. You can help protect your personally-identifiable information by using strong passwords, changing your password often, using a secure web browser, and signing off and closing your web browser when you are finished with the use of the Sites.

DOES THIS POLICY APPLY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES?
