This policy covers how Jennie treats personal information that we collect and receive, including information related to your past use of our products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.

Jennie does not collect personally identifiable information about you on this site without your knowledge, and all such information is collected directly from you. For example, we may ask you to provide your email address, name, mailing address, cell phone number and carrier service provider or other information about you in order to participate in contests, chat rooms, blogs, or on bulletin boards. You are not required to provide us with this information, but if you choose not to, you may not be able to participate in some of the activities on this site. 
We use the information we collect from you to allow you to participate in the site activities for which the information is collected. For example, when you give us your email address in order to receive updates on music, that address is added to the email list for music updates. On each email you receive, you are given the opportunity to unsubscribe; once you unsubscribe, you will no longer receive such emails. 
For contests conducted on this site, we use the personal information you provide only for the purpose of contacting you if you win a prize and sending the prize to you. We do not use contact information contained in contest entries to create mailing lists or for any other purpose, unless you have simultaneously subscribed to a mailing list. For further information about how we handle entries to a particular contest, please consult the contest rules. 
Information Sharing & Disclosure

Jennie does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you request, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
We may share the personal information we collect from you with our affiliates or send you email promotions and special offers from trusted partners in whose products or services we think you may have an interest. We may also share your information with reputable third parties who may contact you directly and/or supplement the information you provide with information received from third parties.  However, these companies do not have any independent right to use or share this information.

Personal information collected on this site may be shared with service providers such as those with whom we contract to operate this site (for example, to send you a promotional item that you have requested on the site). These contractors have agreed with us to use personal information of site visitors only for the purposes of carrying out these operations.  Jenni may share personal information with third parties to the extent required to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process.  Jennie may also share personal information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or protect our rights or property, our website, or its users, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

We may sometimes share aggregate non-personal information with third parties about how our users utilize the site and services. This aggregate information is typically in the form of statistics, such as numbers of JennieWalker.com users who live in a particular state or fall within a particular age group. Such aggregate information is gathered from individual users’ information but is not traceable to any specific identifiable user.
Use of Personal Information with Marketing Partners and Promotions
In instances where Jennie and a marketing partner are offering a special value (i.e. a free gift) to our users, we may share your personal information with such partners. By signing up to receive items through these promotions, you are expressly consenting to Jennie sharing your personal information with such partners and you will become subject to their privacy policies, which may vary from those of Jennie. In the event that you would like to opt-out of receiving offers from these partners, you must do so directly with them. 

Cookies and Web Beacons

Jennie, like many web sites, uses cookies to prepare customized web pages for you.  A cookie is a file containing a string of code that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive, to be kept there for later use. With cookies in place, whenever you use your web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) to connect to Jennie, our systems are able to recognize you. This enables Jennie to present you with custom web pages.  For example, instead of seeing a generic welcome page, you might see a welcome page with your name on it and information about products or events that reflect your interests.

You can set up your browser to reject cookies or tell you when a cookie has been sent. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of JennieWalker.com interactive features, and we hope you will leave them turned on.
In addition to our cookies, Jennie may allow third parties that show advertisements on our site set and access their own cookies on your computer. The cookies inserted by those third parties are not covered by the Jennie Privacy Policy, but rather, by the policies of those third parties.  However, these third parties do not have access to Jennie cookies.
Jennie also uses web beacons (also known as action tags or single pixel gifs) to access Jennie cookies inside and outside our Web pages and in connection with Jennie products and services. A web beacon is a transparent image placed on a web page that sends a signal when a person visits that page. This enables us to assess the popularity and effectiveness of the material posted on the JennieWalker.com web site. We may also use web beacons in connection with e-mails sent to you to let us know whether and when the e-mail was opened.

This information helps us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which products are most interesting, and what kinds of offers our visitors like to see. Although our third party marketing partners manage the information coming from our site on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used.
