J. Michaels Clothiers Values Your Trust

 

We value your trust — so we have taken great care to inform you in this policy what we do and do not do with information that you provide us in the course of using our website, purchasing our products or using our services.

 

Your Privacy is Important

 

We use our best efforts to maintain the personal information you give to us in a secure, safe and responsible manner. Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, the personal information we collect will not be sold, rented or leased and will only be shared within the J. Michaels Clothiers Family, which consists of divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates of J. Michaels Clothiers, Inc. We may combine the information you provide us from these different sources.

 

Shop Safe Guarantee

 

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, federal law protects all of your credit card purchases. In the very unlikely event that your credit card is stolen over the Internet, your maximum liability is $50. If your credit card company holds you responsible for this amount, J. Michaels Clothiers will reimburse you up to $50.

 

Best Technology Available

 

J. Michaels Clothiers takes every precaution to ensure that your credit card information is secure. We utilize SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), the industry standard security protocol. Your online account password protects all information stored in your account. It is your responsibility to protect your online account password. All of your ordering information is encrypted using this secure server for maximum security.

 

Your Choice

 

It is up to you whether you provide us with your personal information by participating in any of the activities mentioned in this Privacy Policy. If you choose to participate, your personal information will be carefully handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

When you purchase our products and/or services in our stores, through our catalogs, over the phone and on-line, as well as when you participate in our surveys, occasional sweepstakes or promotions and/or bonus program, you provide us with information.

If you use a credit or debit card or pay by check, the information we receive will include your account number and your form of payment. J. Michaels Clothiers uses the information you provide to service your account, to ship an order to you, to provide warranty service on products and/or services you purchased, and to personalize your experience with J.

We never display your full credit card information.

 

E-mail and Direct Mail Offers

 

To offer you a customized service, we may also use your mailing, shipping and/or billing address or e-mail address you have provided us to send you special offers from time to time that would be of interest to you.

From time to time, we may randomly contact customers about participating in a survey about our products, services and/or website.

J. Michaels Clothiers Contests, Promotions, Advertisements and Other Opportunities

 

If you enter a J. Michaels Clothiers contest and/or sweepstakes, we will ask for your name, mailing address, e-mail address and any other information relevant to the particular offer.

Legal Requirements

 

On rare occasions, we may be required to disclose personal information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or as required by applicable laws. Also, if the ownership of all or a part of a business within the J.
