Effective March 9, 2022

Jones Soda Co., including our affiliate Jones Soda Cannabis (California), LLC (collectively referred to as “Mary Jones”) understands that you care about how we collect, use, and share information when you interact with our websites, mobile applications, social media sites and handles, email, and online services (our “Services”), and we value the trust you place in us. This Privacy Policy explains:

• the types of information we collect through our Services;
• how we use and protect that information;
• the types of information we may share with others and under what circumstances;
• the choices you have regarding our collection, use, and sharing practices; and
• details regarding our use of third-party cookies and other tracking technologies.

We also include special disclosures for residents of California.

This Policy applies when you interact with us through our Services. It also applies anywhere it is linked. It does not apply to non-Mary Jones websites and mobile applications that may link to the Services or be linked to from the Services; please review the privacy policies on those websites and applications directly to understand their privacy practices.

NO USE OF THE SERVICES BY PERSONS UNDER 21 PERMITTED

Mary Jones  intends only persons who are 21 years or older to use the Services. Any use of the Services by persons under the age of 21 is strictly prohibited.

Our Services, including our website, are intended for a mature audience. We do not direct any of our content at children. We understand and are committed to respecting the sensitive nature of children’s privacy online. If we learn or have reason to suspect that a website user is under age 13, we will promptly delete any personal information in that user’s account. Do not supply to us or disclose on the Services any personal information of any person under 13 years of age, as we do not intend to collect information from anyone under 13 or invite them to participate in the Services.

CONTENT

All content submitted to the Mary Jones App and/or Mary Jones Gallery is reviewed. Mary Jones reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deem any content objectionable, including any content which may violate applicable cannabis laws; we will remove objectionable content within 24 hours of posting. To report objectionable content found on the Mary Jones App or Mary Jones Gallery, please visit our Contact Us page at https://www.jonessoda.com/pages/contact-us.

CANNABIS USE IN SOCIETY

Not everyone accepts cannabis use as permissible. For example, some employers may have anti-drug policies that disallow cannabis use.

You acknowledge that by interacting with Mary Jones Services, providing your information to Mary Jones, allowing Mary Jones to collect data about you, permitting Mary Jones to send you communications, or using Mary Jones products could imply to employers, friends, family, or others that you are a cannabis product user, which could have unwanted social, legal, employment, economic, or other impacts that could affect you, including, but not limited to, your loss of employment, and that Mary Jones shall not be held liable for damages arising out of or connected with the foregoing because your use of the Services and Mary Jones products are solely at your own risk.

IDENTIFY VERIFICATION, SERVICE IMPROVEMENT, AND CANNABIS LIMIT ENFORCEMENT

Many jurisdictions require careful verification of identity before allowing you to purchase cannabis products. When you use our Services at a physical location, including with our retail partners, your government-issued identification card will be physically examined and electronically scanned in order to verify your age and your identification’s validity. Once your data has been scanned, your name, address, identification number, photo, and other data may be retained by Mary Jones or its retailer partners for the purpose of analyzing your use of our Services, enforcing cannabis purchasing limits as required by some jurisdictions, creating an electronic profile about you in order to make future verifications of your identity easier, and to help us customize Services and experiences for you. 

HOW WE SECURE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OR ABOUT YOU

We use a combination of physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect the information we collect through the Services. While we use these precautions to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee the security of the networks, systems, servers, devices, and databases we operate or that are operated on our behalf.

Service Providers: We engage vendors to perform functions on our behalf, and they may receive information about you. These vendors are obligated by contract to use information that we share only for the purpose of providing these services. The business functions our vendors support include: billing and collection; auditing and accounting; professional services; analytics services; security; IT; and marketing emails. 

Online Advertising Partners: We partner with companies that assist us in advertising about our Services to others who may be interested in the Services. These companies may use tracking technologies on our website to collect or receive information from the Services and elsewhere on the internet and then use that information to measure and target ads.

To control this sharing of information, please review the privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.

We share data with other members of our group of companies who covered by this Privacy Policy.

Similarly, you can learn about your options to opt out of mobile app tracking by certain advertising networks through your device settings and by resetting the advertiser ID on your Apple or Android device.

Please note that opting out of advertising networks services does not mean that you will not receive advertising while using our Services or on other websites, nor will it prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from other companies that do not participate in these programs. It will, however, exclude you from interest-based advertising conducted through participating networks, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms. If you delete your cookies, you may also delete your opt-out preferences.

If you would like to opt out of information sharing, please visit Mary Jones’ Privacy Options center at  www.gomaryjones.com, or email your request to info@maryjonescannabis.com. Note that Mary Jones’ website and other Services require some information gathering in order to function properly, and in some cases, in order to meet cannabis regulatory requirements, so Mary Jones’ Services may not be available for your use if you opt out of all information sharing.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of information about them, as well as rights to know/access, delete, and limit sharing of personal information. You have the right to be free from discrimination based on your exercise of your CCPA rights. 

To the extent that we collect personal information that is subject to the CCPA, that information, our practices, and your rights are described below.

Notice at Collection Regarding the Categories of Personal Information Collected

You have the right to receive notice of the categories of personal information we collect, and the purposes for which we use personal information. You also have the right to know about the sources of the personal information and to whom it is disclosed or sold. The categories we use below to describe personal information are those enumerated in the CCPA.  

Entities to whom we disclose information for business purposes are service providers, which are companies that we engage to conduct activities on our behalf. Service providers are restricted from using personal information for any purpose that is not related to our engagement. 

Entities to whom we “sell” information are third parties. Under the CCPA, a business “sells” personal information when it discloses it to a company for monetary or other benefit. A company may be considered a third party either because the purpose for its sharing of personal information is not for an enumerated business purpose under California law, or because its contract does not restrict it from using personal information for other purposes. 

We collect this personal information from the sources described in the Information We Collect section above for the purposes described in the How We Use Your Information section above. 

We do not collect health information.

Personal information may be disclosed in additional, more limited circumstances, as described in How We Share Your Information above.

Right to Opt Out of Sale of Personal Information to Third Parties

You have the right to opt out of any sale of your personal information by Mary Jones to third parties. To exercise your right to opt out of the sale of your personal information, please visit our “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” webpage.

Please note that your right to opt out does not apply to our sharing of personal information with service providers.

Right to Know and Request Access to and Deletion of Personal Information

You have the right to request access to personal information collected about you and information regarding the source of that personal information, the purposes for which we collect it, and the third parties and service providers with whom we share it. You also have the right to request in certain circumstances that we delete personal information that we have collected directly from you. We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to comply with your request, or why we may comply with it in a more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response.

How to Submit an Access or Deletion Request

1. By filling out our Consumer Rights Request Form.
2. By emailing us at info@jonessoda.com.

You may authorize another individual or a business registered with the California Secretary of State, called an authorized agent, to make requests on your behalf through these means.

Verification Procedures

In order to process your request to know/access or delete personal information we collect, disclose, or sell, we must verify your request. We verify your identity by asking you to provide personal identifiers we can match against information we may have collected from you previously and confirm your request using the email or telephone account stated in the request.

We will not use personal information we collect in connection with verifying or responding to your request for any purpose other than responding to your request. 

Notice Regarding Participation in Financial Incentives

We may run promotions from time to time whereby we incentivize a customer to provide certain pieces of information with us or allow us to retain or share their information; for example, we may offer a one-time discount if an individual signs up for our email marketing list. We will provide you with more information about these incentives when you sign up, and participation is voluntary. If you change your mind, you may opt out at any time.

Special Information for Job Applicants

When you apply for a job with Mary Jones, we collect certain information about you as outlined in this Policy. Information may be collected about you in multiple ways: you may provide it to us in connection with your application; we may make observations in the application process or collect information from public information sources; or you may authorize us to collect information from other sources, such as a former employer or reference. 

The following table describes our practices with regard to information submitted in the job application process. If you use our website in the job application process, additional information may be automatically collected, as described above.

In certain circumstances, you may submit your application for employment through a third-party service that displays our job posting. We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party services. Please review their privacy policies carefully prior to submitting your application materials.

GOVERNING LAW

You agree that all claims arising out of or relating to this Policy or any related Mary Jones products or Services will be governed by Washington law, excluding Washington’s conflict of laws rules, and will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of King County, Washington, USA. 

SEVERABILITY

If any part of this Policy is found by a court to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of the Policy will remain in effect.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may make changes to this Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information described in this Policy.
