The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Traditions DBA Gary's Market Inc.’ principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

We have disclosed the following categories PI of California consumers for a business purpose, consistent with the collection purposes set forth in the chart above, within the 12 months preceding the Effective Date:

Identifiers;
Personal records;
Commercial information;
Internet or other electronic network activity information;
Geolocation data;
Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory of similar information; and
Inferences drawn from PI to create a profile about a consumer.

The applicable sources, and purposes of the PI collected by us, and the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed it for business purposes, are set forth in the chart above. We do not believe that we have sold PI, except as discussed in the next section. We acknowledge that the data collection by some third party Cookies associated with our Services may be considered by some to be a “sale” under the broad language of the CCPA

Rights that California consumers have under the CCPA. California law grants consumers certain rights and imposes certain restrictions on particular business practices as set forth below.

Do Not Sell Right If you are a California consumer, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your PI. The CCPA, however, defines “sale” in an unusual way, and with no guidance from the State of California as of the Effective Date as to how broadly the term should be interpreted, a number of differing reasonable interpretations are possible.

We do not believe that sharing your information with certain third parties as part of our normal business operations constitutes a sale within the meaning of what most people would consider a sale to be. Even under a broad understanding of “sale,” we do not typically sell your PI, but from time to time, if we were to become aware of business partners with offerings that we believe might be relevant to your interests, we might decide to share your information with them so that they can contact you with offers that you might enjoy. Because of this possibility, we are providing a way for California consumers to opt-out of any future sales of their information that might occur under such circumstances. To exercise your right, send us an email at support@christmastraditions.com with "Opt Out Request" in the subject line. We will need your first and last name to identify you. Alternatively, you can call us at (800) 538-2446.

We treat Do Not Sell requests based on our evolving good faith interpretation of the law, and we intend to look to direction that may in the future be provided by the State of California to guide our understanding as to how the CCPA should be interpreted in this area.

We do not knowingly sell PI of children under the age of 16 without the authorization required by the CCPA.

Requests for Deletion and Right to Know or Copy. If you are a California consumer, you have the right to make the following requests, typically at no charge, up to twice every 12 months:

Deletion: the right to request deletion of your PI that we have collected about you, subject to certain exemptions, such as where the information is used to complete the transaction for which the PI was collected, provide a good or service that you have requested, perform a contract between you and us, detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activities, prosecute people responsible for malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activities, debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality, comply with a legal obligation, enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us, or otherwise use your information internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
Right to Know (categories or specific information): the right to request that we disclose specific information about our practices with regard to your PI over the prior 12 months, including with regard to each of the categories of PI collected, the categories of sources from which the PI was collected, the business and/or commercial purpose(s) for the collection, disclosure and/or sale of your PI, and the categories of third parties with whom we have sold or disclosed for business purposes your PI. You also have the right to know what specific pieces of PI we have collected about you in the prior 12 months and the right to request a copy of that information.

Submitting Requests and What You can Expect. You (or your authorized agent) can submit a deletion, right-to-know or copy request by emailing us at support@christmastraditions.com. You will be contacted on what is required to be verified and to make the request. You (or your authorized agent) can also submit your request by calling (800) 538-2446. So that we do not delete the wrong person’s information, or give access to PI to the wrong person or otherwise act upon the wrong person’s instructions, we will respond to your request. We will notify you that we have received your deletion or right-to-know request within 10 days of receipt of your request. We will honor do-not-sell requests, as more fully explained above, within 15 days after we receive such a request. For right-to-know and deletion requests, we will endeavor to respond within 45 days after receiving the request, but if we believe that in order to thoroughly and accurately respond to your request we need more time, we will notify you that we need an additional 45 days to process your request.

Incentives and "Non-Discrimination." The CCPA prohibits discrimination against California consumers for exercising their rights under the CCPA and imposes requirements on financial incentives, including loyalty programs, offered to California consumers related to their PI. Accordingly, we will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable PI provided to us.

Shine the Light

We do not typically share PI about you with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, except where we offer you the ability to consent (either on an opt-in or opt-out basis). However, where permitted by applicable law, if we elect to share your personal information (as defined by California’s “Shine The Light” law, California Civil Code Section 1798.83) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without giving you the ability to consent to such sharing, the law allows you to, under certain circumstances, request and obtain certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of PI to third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your opportunity to consent. If this applies, you may obtain the categories of PI shared and the names and addresses of all third parties that received PI for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g. requests made in 2022 will receive information about 2019 sharing activities). You may make one request per calendar year. To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. You may make this request by sending us an e-mail at support@christmastraditions.com, or by writing to us at Traditions, Attn: Legal Department/Privacy, 8039 Deering Ave, Canoga Park, CA 91304. Any such request must include “Shine the Light Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code, and confirmation that you are a California resident. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail address or mail address. Please allow up to 30 days for a response.

CA Minors Any California residents under the age of eighteen (18) who have registered to create an account to use the Services, and who post content on the Service, can request removal by contacting us as set forth in the Contact Us section, detailing where the content or information is posted and attesting that they posted it. We will then make reasonable good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view or anonymize it so the minor cannot be individually identified to the extent required by applicable law. This removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For instance, third-parties may have republished or archived content by search engines and others that we do not control.

Links to Other Websites:
The Sites may contain links to third party owned and/or operated websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. We suggest that you contact these third parties directly for information regarding their privacy, security and data collection and distribution policies prior to providing them with any information.

Blogs and Public Features of the Sites:
Some of our Sites offer publicly accessible blogs, community forums, or public comments sections. You should be aware that any Personal Information you submit there can be read and collected by other users of these forums and could be used to send you unsolicited messages and for other purposes. Our blog and comments section of our site is managed by a third party application that may require you to register to post a comment. We do not have access or control of the information posted to the blog. NONE OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE USING THESE FEATURES IS PROTECTED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU CHOOSE TO SUBMIT IN THESE FORUMS OR THE USE OF THAT INFORMATION BY ANY THIRD PARTY. You will need to contact or log into the third party application if you want the Personal Information that was posted to the comments section removed. To learn how the third party application uses your information, please review their privacy policy.

Social Media Widgets:
Our Sites may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and widgets such as the "Share This" button or interactive mini-programs that run on our Sites. These features may collect your IP address, which pages you are visiting on our Sites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Sites. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.

Security and Retention:
We take commercially reasonable steps to help protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from a Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Information to us or to any other party via the Internet. The security of your Personal Information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms or login credentials (such as username and password) on our platform login, we encrypt the transmission of that information. Your Personal Information will be stored in the United States and will be subject to laws applicable in that country. If you have any questions about security on our Sites, you can contact us HERE. We may retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Sites or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Sites. We may post a notice on the Sites if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

Children’s Privacy:
Visitors under 13 years of age are not permitted to use and/or submit their personal information on any website (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). We do not knowingly solicit or collect information from visitors under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, please do not submit any information to us. In the event that we learn that a person under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such personal information. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the interactive activities of their children.

Assignment:
In the event that all or part of our assets are sold or acquired by another party, or in the event of a merger, you grant us the right to assign the personally identifiable and non-personal information collected via the Sites.

Contacting Us:
Our “contact us” page contains e-mail links, a contact form, and phone number that allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments that you may have. You can access our Contact Page HERE

Disputes, Agreement to Arbitrate, and Choice of Law:
By using the Sites, you and Traditions agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Sites, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Privacy Policy or any part of it ("Dispute"), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute.
Notice shall be sent to Traditions at:

Traditions.
8039 Deering Ave,
Canoga Park, CA 91304

Responses will be sent to you at your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.

Both you and Traditions agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Privacy Policy, including any claim that all or any part of this Privacy Policy is void or voidable.
This Privacy Policy has been made in, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles. The parties acknowledge that this Privacy Policy evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Privacy Policy shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
