This Privacy Policy explains how JOHN HARDY USA Inc. and our subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, "John Hardy", “we” or "us") collect, use, and disclose ("process" or "processing") personal information about you when you access or use our website (the "Site"), contact our customer service team, engage with us on social media, shop in our stores, join text message marketing program (the "SMS Service"), or otherwise interact with us. For terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Site please review our Terms & Conditions.


We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the bottom of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Site or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

1. Personal Information We Collect

We collect personal information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you create a profile on our Site, fill out a form, provide your information for inclusion in a client book, participate in a sweepstake, contest or promotion, use the SMS Service, make a purchase, apply for a job, communicate with us via third-party social media sites, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of personal information we may collect include your name, address (billing and shipping), location, email address, telephone number(s), credit card number(s), birth date, gender, information you submit in connection with a career opportunity at John Hardy (including work history, education, skills, and details about your current employment), security question answers and any other information you choose to provide. When you send messages via SMS Service, we may also collect your messaging history and any information included in those messages.

1.2 Personal Information Collected Automatically

When you access or use our Site, visit our stores or otherwise transact business with us, we automatically collect information about you, including:

  • Transactional Information: When you make a purchase or return, we collect information about the transaction, such as product details, purchase price, and date and location of the transaction.

  • In-Store Activity: When you shop in our stores, we collect information about your activity through closed circuit TVs for security monitoring.

  • Log and Usage Information: We collect information related to your access to and use of the Site, including the type of browser you use, access times, pages viewed, links clicked, your IP address, and the page you visited before navigating to our Site.

  • Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies: We (and our service providers) use different technologies, including cookies and web beacons, to collect information. Cookies are small files sent by us to your computer or device that help us gauge the success of our Site and will track session information such as what pages you access and for how long, which allows us to make updates to enhance your experience, including recognizing your preferences to make shopping easier for you and providing you with a customized experience. Cookies also enable personalization of your experience on the SMS Service (e.g., sending you personalized test messages such as shopping cart reminders). Web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) are electronic images that may be used on our Site or in our emails and help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, see “Your Choices” below.

  • Location Tracking: We may utilize location tracking and/or location-based services for enhanced marketing personalization, such as sending you geographically relevant messages (e.g., in-store events in your area) and adjusting commercial message send time to be appropriate for your time zone.

1.3 Personal Information We Collect from Other Sources

We may also obtain information about you from other sources. For example, we may collect information about you from social media sites, our business partners or public sources. Additionally, if you log into your account through a social media site, we will have access to certain information from that site, such as your name, account information, and friends lists, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such social media site.

1.4 Personal Information We Derive

We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your location based on your IP address or that you are interested in purchasing a certain product based on your browsing behavior on our Site.


2. How We Use The Personal Information We Collect 

Our customers are at the heart of what we do. We use the personal information we collect to provide you with our products and improve your shopping experience. We also use the information to:

  • Provide, maintain and improve our Site, including to create and manage your online account and provide you with more relevant and personalized content;

In addition, we use your information to deliver, analyze, maintain, and support the SMS Service.  We may also use your information to enhance the SMS Service features, and customize and personalize your experiences on the SMS Service. Our Site uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, including when you abandoned your cart, and this information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.

Where the processing of your personal information is based on contractual or legal obligations, failure to provide required or necessary personal information may result in John Hardy being unable to proceed with our performance, either in part or in whole, with respect to such contractual or legal obligations. 

3. Personal Information We Share

We may share information about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

  • With third-party vendors, service providers, outsourced companies and consultants that need access to your information in order to perform services for us (e.g., warehouse, fulfillment and delivery companies, logistics service providers, payment processors, insurance providers and web hosting vendors);

  • With third-party marketing partners for advertising and commercial purposes;

  • In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law or legal process, including lawful requests by public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements;

  • In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, joint venture, reorganization, divestiture, dissolution or liquidation; and
