Privacy Policy

Naomi Whittel Brands LLC (“we” “us” or “our”) respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.

This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how your Personal Information (as defined in Section 1) is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.naomiw.com (the “Site”).

By accessing the Site, ordering our products and/or using our services, you are consenting to the collection of Personal Information and use practices described in this Policy, as modified from time to time by us in our sole discretion.

SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE COLLECT?  WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, operating system, IP address, time zone, and some of the Cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about Cookies, and how to disable Cookies, visit link: http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

- “Web beacons” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site), and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns. From time to time, we may release Device Information in the aggregate (for example, by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our website).

When you purchase something from our store as part of the buying and selling process, we collect other personally identifying data and information from you, such as your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Policy, we are talking about both Device Information and Order Information.

We collect Personal Information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with the Site. In addition to the uses set forth elsewhere in this Policy, we may use Personal Information about you for various purposes, including to:

• Provide, maintain and improve the Site and our products;
• Manage your account and send you related information, including confirmations, updates, technical notices, security alerts and support and administrative messages;
• Respond to your comments, questions and requests and provide customer service;
• Communicate with you about the Site, products, offers, surveys, events and other news and information we think may be of interest to you;

• Facilitate contests, sweepstakes and promotions and process and deliver entries and rewards;
• Link or combine with information we get from others to help understand your needs and provide you with a better experience; and
• Carry out any other purpose for which the information was collected.

If you are a registered user of our Site and have supplied us with your email address, we may occasionally send you an email informing you of new features, soliciting your feedback, or keeping you up to date with our products. If you send us a request (for example, via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.

SECTION 4 – PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Information, including under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”). To learn more about your California privacy rights under the CCPA, visit https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA and/or CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA and/or the CPRA, we will not: 

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

In addition, California's “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please email us at privacy@naomiwhittel.com or write to us at Naomi Whittel Brands, 8609 Westwood Center Dr. #110, Tysons Corner, VA 22182.

SECTION 5 – RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We retain Personal Information for the duration of any actively engaged user of our Site and services and for a period after this time as necessary and relevant to our legitimate operations and in accordance with applicable law obligations. This may include retention necessary to identify, issue or resolve legal proceedings. We may also retain aggregate information beyond this time for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services. You cannot be identified from aggregate information retained or used for these purposes.  

SECTION 6 – INTERNATIONAL USERS

Our Site is based in the United States.  If you are visiting from the European Union, Canada or other region with laws governing data collection and use, please note that you are agreeing to the transfer of your information to the United States and processing globally.  By providing your information, you expressly consent to any transfer and processing in accordance with this Policy while acknowledging that privacy laws in the United States may be different, and in some cases, less protective, than those in effect in your jurisdiction. 

SECTION 7 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party service providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For those providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by those providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave the Site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Policy or our Terms of Service.
