Jamila Kyari is 100% committed to upholding your privacy. This privacy policy describes how we use personal information collected in our online retail store. It also describes the choices you have about your personal information. Please read this privacy policy before using this ecommerce website and providing any personal information. By using the website, you expressly agree to the practices described in this privacy policy. These practices may be changed, but any changes will be posted and will only apply to activities and information on a going-forward, not retroactive, basis. Note, the privacy practices set forth in this privacy policy are for this ecommerce website and Jamila Kyari online platforms. If you link to other websites, please review the privacy policies posted at those sites.
TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
There are two (2) types of information collected by Jamila Kyari: (1) “Personal,” such as names, postal addresses, and email addresses & (2) “Non-Personal” such as store shopped at or products viewed. Any personal information you provide is used to fulfill your specific request. This information is only used to fulfill your specific request, unless you give us permission to use it in another manner, for example to add you to one of our mailing lists. Where we ask you to provide personal information, you always have the choice of not providing the information. However, if you do so, we may not be able to provide you with the service or benefit which you are requesting.
In some cases, we may combine personal information with non-personal information. Where we do this, the combined information will be treated by us as if it were personal information for as long as it remains combined.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Personal and non-personal information that we collect from you is used for a number of purposes:
It helps us to improve the content of our website or retail store environment.
It permits us to better understand our customers’ needs.
It enables us to communicate with our customers.
It is used to make business and financial decisions within our company.
It allows us to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
Unless consent is given, we do not use or disclose your personal information for the purposes other than those for which it was collected.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Jamila Kyari utilizes social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to market its products and services. Certain social networks allow ad targeting of customers and the ability for customers to share likes and interests with their friends / contacts. When you click on a social media plug-in, a link to our site may appear in the “Likes and Interests” section of your Facebook or other social media website profile. By using social media plug-ins, you consent to receiving communications from us for all of the purposes described above. For more information about social media plug-in protocols and their impact on your privacy rights, please visit the appropriate social media website help centre (such as the Facebook Help Center) to find out more.

EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
We will communicate to you mainly through email. By providing your email address to us, you consent “to opt in” to receive email communications from Jamila Kyari and its brands, subject to the guidelines and limitations described below. The option to “opt out” or “unsubscribe” after you have “opted in” will always be available.
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS SUBJECT TO IMPLIED CONSENT
In some instances, your consent to receive email communications from us will be implied. For example, when you provide your email address to us prior to or at the time of making a purchase on a Jamila Kyari’ website, your consent to receive emails related to the transaction—e.g., a purchase or shipping confirmation email—is implied. When your consent is implied, we will only send you email communications that directly apply to the business purpose of your original request, and your implied consent will automatically expire once the business purpose of your transaction has completed.
When you join the mailing list by providing your email address on Jamilakyari.com ecommerce store, your consent is also considered implied to receive email communications. All mailing lists that fall under implied consent guidelines will expire from our email database within 24 months of your last interaction with Jamila Kyari. For example, if you join our mailing list and make a transaction at a Jamila Kyari’ brand store on August 30th, 2022, and then have no further interaction with that brand, your consent to receive email communications from that specific brand is implied and will expire August 29th, 2024, unless you choose to withdraw or change your consent prior to that date. You will always have the option to “opt out” from receiving email communications for this purpose.
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS SUBJECT TO EXPRESS CONSENT
You must provide express consent if you wish to receive email communications regarding specific products and services, promotions, contests and surveys that you may be interested in. You may provide your express consent to receive such marketing messages when you sign up for an account on a Jamila Kyari’ website, or by responding to a direct communication request for consent. Your express consent will remain in effect and will not expire unless you specifically request to “opt out” or “unsubscribe”.
UNSUBSCRIBING/WITHDRAWING YOUR CONSENT
We will always provide you with the opportunity to “opt out” or “unsubscribe” within each email communication we send to you. To unsubscribe from Email Communications, click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails.
Mailing list members who complete their profiles on our website also have the ability to change or withdraw their consent from our promotional list at any time via our website. This can be done by logging into your account, clicking on “Update Personal Details” and adjusting your email preferences.
If you still have any concerns or questions regarding your Email Permission status, you can reach out to our customer service by email at service@jamilakyari.com
FORWARDING OR SHARING EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
