SCOPE AND OVERVIEW

Jenne, Inc. (“Jenne”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. Your personal information will be processed fairly and lawfully and will be protected against unauthorized access and processed using appropriate technical and organizational security measures and controls.

This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal information that we collect, how we use your personal information, how we secure your personal information, and when we may disclose your personal information to third parties.

Jenne is a technology distributor headquartered in Avon, Ohio. Jenne provides distribution and other supply chain services to Resellers to support hardware, software, and cloud service offerings. These services include logistics, financing, training, marketing, design and provisioning.

Jenne provides Resellers and other Business Partners with the ability to purchase or access a variety of products and services made available through our Vendors. JENNE IS CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO PROCESS INFORMATION ON THE VENDOR’S BEHALF, INCLUDING SOME PERSONAL INFORMATION. EACH PRODUCT OR SERVICE WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE VENDORS PRIVACY POLICIES AND CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH YOU, WHICH MAY SUPERCEDE OR COMPLEMENT THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. JENNE ENCOURAGES YOU TO READ THE PRIVACY POLICIES OF EACH VENDOR THAT YOU ARE, OR ARE CONSIDERING, DOING BUSINESS WITH ALONG WITH ANY AGREEMENTS THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH ANY OF OUR VENDORS BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THEIR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

Although we encourage you to read our entire Privacy Policy, below is a summary of some of the more important aspects of the Privacy Statement:

  • We may collect both personal information and other information from you through a variety of sources, including personal information that we have collected from you, whether on- or offline. We may also combine it with information we receive about you from other sources, such as affiliates, publicly available information sources (including information from your publicly available social media profiles), and other third parties.
  • We will not use or share your personal information except as described in this Privacy Statement.
  • Where applicable, we honor opt out instructions from you for certain uses of your personal information under this Privacy Statement, such as, for example, when you opt out of receiving marketing email communications from us.
  • We use appropriate technical and organizational controls to secure and protect your personal information, but we cannot ensure or warrant that your personal information will be completely secure from misappropriation by hackers or from other nefarious or criminal activities.

It is important that you read this Privacy Policy, together with any other Privacy Policy or fair processing policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your information.

PLEASE NOTE FURTHER: This Website is not intended for use by children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

 

THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Jenne may collect personal information about you from a variety of sources, including, directly from you, from other users, from resellers, from our vendors, from our service providers, from third-party information providers, from our affiliates, and through the operation of the Website and other services.

“Personal information”, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous or de-identified information).

Jenne may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal information about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Information such as first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, company name, and government issued identification number.
  • Contact Information such as billing address, shipping address, email address and telephone numbers.
  • Financial Information such as bank account, payment card details and credit history.
  • Transaction Information such as details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
  • Technical Information such as internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our Website.
  • Profile Information such as your username and password to access our Website, account number, purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.
  • Usage Data such as information about how you use our Website, products and services.
  • Preference Data such as your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties, and your communication preferences.

  • Applicant Information such as your email address, employment history, resume or other professional information, education history, answers to job application questions and any other requested information, testing results, background checks, and professional certificates that you submit to us during the job application process.

We may also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal information but is not considered personal information in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature. However, if we do combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information, so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, then we will treat the combined data as personal information which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Sensitive Information – Unless Jenne specifically requests or invites you to provide sensitive personal information, we ask that you not send us through this Website or otherwise disclose any information related to your race, gender or ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, health, criminal background. If we do request or invite you to provide sensitive personal information, we will do so with your express consent.

 

HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED?

Directly from You

We may collect personal information directly from you when you voluntarily provide it to us. For example, when you communicate with us over the telephone or through our Website by way of email, web form, or online account registration to create an account, obtain access to our products and services, place an order for our products or services, register for an event or training, visit our booth at a trade show, enter an incentive program, promotion or survey, ask questions, give us feedback, attempt to resolve any issues related to our Website or any of our products and services, submit a job application, or submit feedback and comments. We will also keep details of transactions you carry out through our Website and of the fulfillment of your orders, as well as records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us. You may also be required to provide financial information before placing an order through our Website.

The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.

Please note, it is your responsibility to provide Jenne with accurate personal information. Additionally, the failure to provide us with your personal information may interfere with our ability to conduct business with you, such as purchasing products and services or processing your transactions.

Automatically through Your Use of Our Website or Services

When you visit our Website, we may monitor and collect information about how you access, use, and interact with our Website automatically through “cookies,” “flash cookies”, “web beacons,” and other automated tracking technology. (See, the Cookies and Other Similar Technologies section below) For example, we may automatically collect technical data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns such as your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, your Media Access Control (MAC) Address, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical information.

From Other Sources

From Resellers. We may obtain personal information about you from the resellers that purchase products and services available from us and provide such products and services to you.

From Our Vendors. We may obtain personal information about you from the third-party vendors that make products and services available through us.

From Third-Party Service and Information Providers. Jenne may also obtain personal information from third parties that have obtained or collected information about you and that have the right to provide that personal information to us. For example, we may contract with third parties that are in the business of providing information to businesses such as ours to verify certain information about you or obtain information. We may use the personal information about you that we receive from a third-party outside of our Website in accordance with the terms we establish with that third-party. We may also obtain personal information at trade shows or events where you have attended and provided your consent to collect your personal information and from publicly-available sources such as open government databases or other information in the public domain.

Cameras and Telephones. Additionally, we may obtain your personal information from the CCTV cameras located in the offices and warehouses of the Jenne companies and from recordings of telephone calls. The purpose of the video and phone recordings is the protection of our property, prevention and detection of criminal activity and the protection of health and life of our employees/clients.

Jenne takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we collect about you is adequate, relevant, and processed for limited purposes.

 

HOW WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Jenne uses personal information we collect about you to operate our business and provide you with products and services, which includes using this information to improve our offerings and personalize your experiences. We also may use the information to communicate with you, for example, informing you about your account and product information.

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us or with your consent. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

  • To present our Website and its contents to you and maintain, enhance, and improve our Website and our products and services, including to operate certain features and functionality of our Website;
  • To manage our day-to-day business needs such as registering you as a new customer and delivering relevant website content, sending advertisements and other communications about our products, services, and events that we believe may be of interest to you, notifying you about changes to our Website or any products or services that we offer or provide though it, and to measure and better understand user preferences and the effectiveness of the advertising we serve to you, in accordance with applicable law or based on your marketing preferences to enhance user experience (See the Marketing Preferences section below);
  • To manage our relationship with you including sending welcome letters, newsletters, surveys, promotions and other special offers in accordance with your marketing preferences, to verify your eligibility and deliver prizes in connection with promotions, contests and sweepstakes as well as providing billing reminders, technical notifications and security announcements; responding to your inquiries; fulfilling your requests, discussing issues related to your account, providing you with effective customer support, and keeping our records updated;

  • To Vendors and Resellers in connection with the provision of the services or support of Jenne's business. For example, Jenne may use your personal information to measure service usage and service performance metrics; monitor security aspects of our Services and infrastructure; provide data storage services; and deliver technical support. Jenne will only release information that is needed to deliver the service for which the third-party vendor has been retained. These vendors are required to maintain strict security and confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purposes other than in accordance with applicable federal state and local laws and regulations.
  • To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including to enforce compliance with our Terms and Conditions, for billing and collection purposes; and to prosecute and/or defend a court, arbitration or similar legal proceedings;
  • To comply with a legal or regulatory obligation or respond to lawful requests by credit reference agencies, fraud prevention agencies and public authorities (including national security and other law enforcement agencies);
  • To reorganize, restructure, or dispose of all or a portion of our business assets (including in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding), provided that the use of your personal information by that third party remains subject to applicable law;
  • To process job applications;
  • For any other purpose with your consent.

We may also process your personal information:

  • To monitor and prevent fraud; and
  • To administer IT services, ensure network and information security, including preventing unauthorized access to our computer and electronic communications systems and preventing malicious software distribution.

We may combine and enhance the personal information we collect about you with other information we receive from third parties.

We may also use the personal information we collect about you through our Website to generate anonymized, aggregated data. When we do so, we ensure that the anonymized, aggregated data is no longer personally identifiable and may not later be used to identify you. This will include, by way of example, storing the anonymized, aggregated data separately from any personal information.

If Jenne does engage in the processing of your personal information for purposes other than those specified in this Privacy Policy, we will, where appropriate, provide you with notice of these changes, including the purposes for which the personal information will be used, and the recipients of the personal information.

Please note that we do not generally rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal information and we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, and where it is required or permitted by law.

For example, we may access and use information from credit reference agencies when you open your account and periodically to:

  • Manage and make decisions about your account, including assessing your creditworthiness;
  • Check your identity and verify the accuracy of the personal information that you provide to us;
  • Prevent fraud and other criminal activity; and
  • Trace debtors and recover debts.
  • Make application decisions, which may be made based solely on automated checks of information from credit reference agencies and internal records.

If we, or a fraud prevention or other law enforcement agency, determine that you pose a fraud or other criminal risk, we may refuse to provide services to you.

Please Note Further: The provision of certain categories of your personal information may be required to enter into a contract with Jenne. If required personal information is not provided, you will not be able to open a user account and/or use our products and services.
