Online Privacy Choices
Online Advertising
We permit our trusted business partners and third-party advertising companies (including ad servers, ad agencies, technology vendors, or providers of sponsored content, collectively “ad partners”) to collect your browsing information and numerical identifiers associated with your browser or device to provide ads on our behalf that are tailored to your interests. These ads may appear on our website, and on other third-party websites. Using cookies, our ad partners collect data from a particular browser or device about a user’s web viewing behaviors over time, across unrelated websites, and in some cases combine such data with data collected from other browsers or devices associated with the same user or household, and use such data to predict user preferences and to deliver advertisements to that user which are calculated to target that user’s predicted preferences across devices. If you take steps to block advertising cookies or opt out of interest-based advertising, note that this does not mean that you will no longer receive ads from J.Jill, as these ads are only one form of digital advertising. Throughout our online advertising practices we support the self-regulatory principles of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”).
circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf where (i) you provide sufficient evidence to show that the requestor is an authorized agent with written permission to act on your behalf and (ii) you successfully verify your own identity with us. We generally require evidence of either: (i) a valid power of attorney; or (ii) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a signed statement of authorization for the request. Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residency, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.

Retention of Personal Information. We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. However, if necessary, we may retain personal information for longer periods of time, until set retention periods and deadlines expire, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements set by a legislature, regulator or other government authority.
To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other applicable obligations.
Therefore, we retain personal information for as long as the individual continues to use our services for the purposes explained in the Information We Collect and Use section of our Privacy Policy. In particular, we will retain their personal information for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and defend claims, as well as, for any additional purpose based on the choices you have made, such as to receive marketing communications. We will retain personal information supplied when joining our services, including complaints, claims and any other personal information supplied during the duration of an individual’s contract with us for the services until the statutory limitation periods have expired, when this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Notice of Financial Incentive. We offer various financial incentives to consumers who allow us to collect and retain personal information. For example, the financial incentives we may provide include:
- Registration incentives, such as discounts for signing up for an account.
- Communications channel offers
- Discounts for J.Jill credit card holders.
When you create an account, sign up for our email list, or otherwise sign-up for a promotion or special offer, you opt-in to participate in a financial incentive program. Participation in any financial incentive program is entirely optional and participants may withdraw from the program at any time. To opt-out of the program and forgo any ongoing incentives, you may unsubscribe from our emails, catalogs and text messages (for communications-based promotional incentives) or close your account (for registration incentives) by using the contact information above in the Contact Us section or by submitting a request to delete your information as described in the Exercising Your Rights section above. Please contact our J.Jill credit card issuer directly to close your J.Jill credit card.
The financial incentives we offer to consumers are reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data to our business, based on our good-faith, reasonable but sole determination. We estimate the value of consumers’ personal information by considering the expense incurred by the business related to the collection, storage and retention of consumers’ personal information in the context of the financial incentive program and the expenses related to the provision of the financial incentive. From time to time, we may provide additional terms that apply to a particular financial incentive, which will be presented to you at the time you sign up for the financial incentive.
