Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about how your information is collected and used. 

Please note that participation in the JoJo’s Confections, LLC, DBA SmartCookieCollective.com and JoAnnAnthony.com Sites are primarily a public activity, and much of the information you post to any JoJo’s Confections, LLC DBA SmartCookieCollective.com Sites (whether directly through our site or via links with other social networking websites) is instantly publicly viewable. Therefore, you should not submit information that you consider confidential. We maintain the privacy of your email address and password submitted to us in the registration process (unless you enter such information as your username or in the text of your entries to user areas). Still, other information you provide should be considered non-confidential and available for viewing by others. 

Also, please note that information provided through Facebook or other social networks or for publication on fan pages, mobile apps, or websites may be subject to different privacy policies, which may vary materially from these terms applying to our websites. The Information We Collect Any information gathered by us is used to customize the experience for you, the user, and is not shared or sold to any third parties except as expressly provided in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. However, we may, in the future provide customized or targeted advertisements to you based upon your data (including usage statistics and characteristics), in which case we may allow third-party applications to access such data to customize messages or advertising for you. Our Commitment to Data Security To prevent unauthorized access and maintain data accuracy, we use industry-standard methods to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. However, you recognize that data transmitted online or stored in a facility to which online access is provided cannot be made to be 100% secure.

Please note that information you enter for your user profile or in your posts may be accessed and viewed publicly. Therefore, you should not post information that you consider confidential or do not want to be distributed publicly. Although in some areas, you can edit or delete information, please note that even this information may have been cached on servers, cut and pasted, or otherwise incorporated into other posts or for other uses. So once information is posted, you should consider that it may be publicly available perpetually and in different locations and/or media than your original submission.

Notwithstanding the preceding, we reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our users. Child Protection We do not offer services to or target persons under the age of 13.

How You Can Access or Correct Your Information, You can access your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by logging in and “Editing” your account. Your password is needed to edit this information, even if you are already logged in. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information. You may be unable to edit or delete past entries and information collected regarding past updates. 

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. The main form of identity management is your email address. Please always use a valid and up-to-date email address.
