To appeal a decision regarding a consumer rights request, please email hello@nymbrands.com.

Please see below for links to our state-specific privacy policies:

 Make sure to provide links here to each individual policy as provided. We will be rolling out new links to each state as the other new laws go into effect in late 2023 to 2026.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

We may engage in targeted advertising, which may be considered "selling" or "sharing" personal information as defined under certain state privacy laws, including California. If you would like to request to opt out of this practice, please click here: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.

We do not have actual knowledge that we "sell" or "share" Personal Information of consumers under the age of 16, as our website is not intended for consumers under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from consumers under 16.

Information for Nevada Residents

Nevada law (SB 220) requires website operators to provide a way for Nevada consumers to opt out of the sale of certain information that the website operator may collect about them. NYM does not sell your personal information to third parties as defined in Nevada law, and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. If you have any questions regarding our data privacy practices or our compliance with Nevada data privacy law, please contact us at privacy@nymbrands.com. 

Retention of Data

NYM retains Personal Information where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal need to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, NYM refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period:

  • Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data;
  • Whether the data is necessary to provide our Products, Services, or Site; and
  • Whether our Customers would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their accounts are closed or terminated.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Children’s Privacy

NYM’s Site is not intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 17. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 17 through the Site. If you become aware that a child has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, please contact us at privacy@nymbrands.com. If we become aware that a child under 17 has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, NYM takes steps to remove such information.

Security

No security is foolproof, and the Internet is an insecure medium. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work hard to protect NYM and you from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of Personal Information that we collect and store. 

NYM addresses its guarantees as to privacy and security in the various agreements and data processing addendum that it enters into contractually with its Customers.
