Effective: April 13, 2023
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how the JAKKS Pacific, Inc. family of companies, including Disguise, Inc. and JAKKS Sales LLC (collectively, “JAKKS,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) collect, store, process, and share personal information through our websites www.jakks.com, www.jakksstore.com, www.jakkswholesale.com, www.amiamisofficial.com, www.redoskateboards.com, www.cestmoi.com, www.moosemountaintoys.com, and www.disguise.com (collectively, the “Sites” or individually, the “Site”). This Policy also explains the controls available to you regarding how JAKKS collects and processes your personal information. When we say “you” or “your,” we are referring to any person or entity who views, uses, accesses, browses, or submits any content or material to JAKKS. “Personal Information” may include information that is connected to you, such as data that you provide to us voluntarily (e.g., name, e-mail address, shipping and billing address, telephone number, username, personal images, etc.) and information that we collect automatically from you (e.g., location data and other online identifiers). This Policy is not applicable to websites, applications, or platforms owned or operated by third parties, even if this Site redirects you to, or we communicate with you directly on, those sites. For example, a post made on Facebook or Twitter is governed by the policies of those websites alone.
Policy Changes
JAKKS reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time. If changes are material, JAKKS will provide notice to you and obtain your consent where required by applicable law. Notice may be sent by email to the last email address you provided to us, by posting notice of those changes to this Policy on our Sites, or by other means we deem appropriate. Please check back periodically for up-to-date information about our privacy practices.
Data Collected
JAKKS may collect Personal Information in one of three forms. First, JAKKS may collect information that you submit to us, such as by placing an order, registering a product, creating an account, subscribing to a mailing list, completing an online form, or by emailing or otherwise contacting us directly. Additionally, JAKKS, directly or through a third-party, may collect analytics data from your computer, phone, or other device. This data is collected automatically and is not linked to an identifiable person unless and until you submit your information to us. Finally, JAKKS may collect certain categories of personal information from third parties that we use to provide, analyze, and improve our services.
Data Collected Automatically
Automatically collected data generally includes:

Other Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies (data that a website or application transfers to a user’s device for record-keeping purposes), or similar technologies like pixels and web beacons, to collect this anonymous information to support our digital operations. A “web beacon” is a one-pixel image (that may be visible or transparent), which may be embedded on a web page or e-mail message, and which may also provide us with information about usage of that page or e-mail message. As a user moves from one page or one screen to another, a cookie is used to tell us that it is the same device. We also may use a cookie to keep track of your selections. You may set your device to accept or not accept cookies and you may delete any cookies that you have received. However, should you decide to disable any cookies we place on your device, you may not be able to use certain services or features on our Site.
Additionally, we may use adverts to offset the costs of running this Site. To ensure that we provide you with the most relevant adverts where possible, adverts may track your interests and present items or information that may be of interest to you. We may also use social media (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube) buttons and/or plugins on this Site so that you may connect with your social network. These social media sites will set cookies through our Site, which may be used as outlined in their respective privacy notices. Additionally, we use Google Analytics to provide us with a better understanding of the users of our Sites.
Some browsers have a ‘do not track’ feature, which tells websites not to track your online activities. These features are not yet uniform, and our Site is not currently designed to respond to those signals. But, as described in the California Privacy Rights section of this Policy, below, our website does respond to Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signals.
The following list provides an example of the types of cookies we implement on our Sites.
| Types of Cookies | Purpose | Who Serves |
Essential | These cookies are required for the operation of the Services and enable you to move around the Services and use its features. Disabling these cookies can negatively impact the performance of Services. | |
Functionality | These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to the Services. This enables us to personalize content for you and remember your preferences. These cookies also enable your interactions with the Services such as emailing us, enabling our chat services, and remembering your consent preferences. | |
Analytics, Performance, and Research | These cookies, beacons, and pixels allow us to analyze activities on the Services. They can be used to improve the functioning of the Services. For example, these cookies recognize and count the number of visitors and see how they move around the Services. Analytics cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns to help us improve them and to optimize the content on the Services for those who engage with our advertising. | |
Social Media | These Cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Services through third-party social networking and other websites. These Cookies may also be used for advertising purposes. | |
Advertising | These cookies and pixels are used to deliver relevant ads, track ad campaign performance, or track email marketing. |
We do not disclose information to any third party that identifies a specific person as having viewed specific video materials.
Information collected from third parties
We may use information, such as demographic data (e.g., household size) and purchase preference information, to supplement or update our records, improve our communications to you, or to prevent or detect fraud.
Why Does JAKKS Collect and Process Information?
We also collect information about you so that we may complete your order efficiently, provide you with order updates, communicate offers that may interest you, or meet our business objectives (e.g., to improve our products, enhance customer service, and conduct internal marketing and demographic studies). JAKKS may also use this information to investigate or prevent activities that may violate our policies or the law, or to defend our legal rights.
With Whom Does JAKKS Share My Information?
We may share Personal and other Information with our subsidiaries, business partners, company affiliates, and third-party service providers, but only as necessary to further our business interests. We do not disclose your Personal Information, except as noted in this Policy, as required by law, or in connection with a merger, asset sale, or similar business transaction, or to protect our legal rights.
Please note that JAKKS participates in, has certified its compliance with, and is responsible for processing Personal Information it receives under the Privacy Shield Framework and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on JAKKS’ behalf. While this framework is no longer a valid mechanism for transferring data between the United States and European Union, JAKKS continues to maintain this standard to ensure the privacy and security of your personal information.
JAKKS may share your Personal Information in the following circumstances:
JAKKS may also share non-identifiable information in the following circumstances:
Collection and Use of Children’s Personal Information
Children’s privacy is important to us. JAKKS complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) and follows guidelines provided by the Children’s Advertising Review Unit of the Advertising Self-Regulatory Council. Children under the age of 13 (“Child” or “Children”) may view this Site, but should not make a purchase, register, or submit Personal Information to us without prior parental consent.
JAKKS will obtain parental consent before asking for personal information on our Children’s Platforms, unless the request for information falls within an exception that would be permitted under COPPA. We will not condition a child’s participation in any activity or service on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity.
Please refer to the sections entitled “Why does JAKKS collect Personal Information” and “Who Does JAKKS Share My Information With?” for further details on the information we collect and the tools we use to collect it.
Parental Rights
Parents may contact us (at privacy@jakks.com) to review, update or delete any of their children’s personal information that we may have collected and to elect for us not to collect any additional personal information from their children.
If JAKKS discovers that it has unintentionally collected Personal Information from a Child that does not meet COPPA requirements, we will either delete the information or ask the parent or guardian for consent for us to retain the information.
How Does JAKKS Protect Your Information?
We have implemented various security practices regarding the collection, storage and processing of Personal Information. We also limit access to the data as reasonably necessary, and we adhere to strict confidentiality policies with our employees and contractors. While we strive to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, no security measure is ever perfect, and JAKKS cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third party hackers from illegally obtaining this information.
How Long Does JAKKS Retain Your Information?
JAKKS may keep your Personal Information for the longer of as long as it is needed to provide you with access and enjoyment of this Site, for our legitimate business interests, or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. Where we no longer need your information for any of the above reasons, or are not required to retain it, we endeavor to delete it. If you want to cancel your account, or want JAKKS to delete your Personal Information, JAKKS will do so and will only keep information that we are required to maintain for legal reasons. Contact privacy@jakks.com with any such request.
Automated Decision-Making
JAKKS does not currently use automated decision-making as it relates to your Personal Information. However, if JAKKS begins to use automated decision-making, you have the right to object to processing of your information in such a manner, where the decision-making process does not involve a human, only when that decision-making affects you legally or significantly (i.e., a decision that affects your civil rights, employment or rights under a contract).
United States Privacy Rights
You have the following choices with how your information is used:
| Activity | What you need to do |
Updating or Correcting | If you maintain any online account with JAKKS, you may update or correct your name, email address, security questions, and other preferences by logging into your account and clicking on the “My Account” page, calling 1-877-875-2557 (toll-free, North America only) or 1-909-594-7771, or contacting privacy@jakks.com . |
Receiving Newsletter and Promotional Emails | Where you opt-in to JAKKS’ newsletters or promotional emails, you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any promotional email that you receive. You can also edit your email preferences on your “My Account” page. |
Interest Based Advertising | You can opt out of some but not all online behavioral based advertising by visiting http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/# or by using your browser settings to block cookies or notify you when a cookie is set. |
Remove Content from User Review | You can remove content that you posted on a JAKKS public space, such as part of a Ratings and Review, by emailing details to privacy@jakks.com . We will endeavor to honor your request to remove information; however, our removal of your information does not completely erase that information from the internet, as historical copies, or “caches,” may remain. |

California Privacy Rights
Residents of California are entitled to specific rights regarding the processing of their personal information under the CCPA. This section explains these rights and provides a description of how Covered Consumers may exercise them. Please note that only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.
Right to Access or Know: You have the right to request that JAKKS disclose the Personal Information it collects, uses, and discloses about you to third parties. There are two types of Rights to Know requests that you can make:
This information will be provided to you free of charge, unless JAKKS determines that your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. You may request this information twice in a 12-month period. Where possible, we will provide this information to you in a portable, and to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data without hindrance.
There are certain exceptions to a consumer’s Right to Know. JAKKS will state in its response if an exception applies.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request that JAKKS and our service providers delete any Personal Information about yourself that JAKKS has collected from you upon receipt of a verifiable request. This right is subject to certain exceptions. JAKKS will state in its response if an exception applies.
Right of Correction: If we maintain inaccurate Personal Information about you, then you have the right to request that we correct the inaccurate Personal Information upon receipt of a verifiable request. The right of correction is subject to certain exceptions. JAKKS will state in its response if an exception applies.
Right to Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising and the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information: Covered Consumers have the right to opt-out of targeted advertising and the sale of your Personal Information by a business subject to certain laws and regulations. Although JAKKS does not sell or share your personal information for money, its use of online analytics and advertising cookies may constitute the sale or sharing of Personal Information under California Law. Therefore, we allow you to opt-out of our use of cookies and related technologies. To learn more, please click here.
Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising the privacy rights conferred by applicable law.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: To the extent JAKKS collects any Sensitive Personal Information, it only does so for the purposes specified in Section 7027 of the California Consumer Privacy Act Regulations. Should this change, JAKKS shall provide you with notice and a means for opting out of such uses.

Verifying Requests:
JAKKS provides Covered Consumers with an email address privacy@jakks.com to submit requests.

To verify a Covered Consumer’s identity, we may request up to three pieces of Personal Information about you when you make a request to compare against our records. We may also request that you sign a declaration under the penalty of perjury from the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in your request to verify your identity and will delete any information you provide after processing the request. JAKKS reserves the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify the identity of Covered Consumers where we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent.
Authorized Agents: Residents of California may choose a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf to submit your requests (“Authorized Agent”). If you choose to use an Authorized Agent, JAKKS requires that you provide the Authorized Agent with written permission to allow them to submit your request and that you verify your identity directly with JAKKS. Failure to do so may result in JAKKS denying your request.

We treat Swiss Personal Information in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.
Your Rights:
You are entitled by law to access, correct, amend, or delete personal information about you that we hold. A summary listing these rights appears below. Please note that these rights are not absolute and certain exemptions may apply to specific requests that you may submit to us.

Asking us to access your personal information: You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not we are processing personal information about you, and if so, the right to be provided with the information contained in this notice.

If you do exercise a valid right to have your personal information deleted, please keep in mind that deletion by third parties to whom the information has been provided might not be immediate and that the deleted information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period (but will not be available to others).

The right to transfer your personal information to another service provider: You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us from one organization to another, or give it to you (i.e. data portability). This applies to personal information we are processing to service a contract with you and to personal information we are processing based on your consent.
The right to withdraw consent: If we obtain your written consent to collect and process your personal information, you can subsequently withdraw such consent as to any further processing of such information.
The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: If you believe your rights under the GDPR have been violated, the GDPR gives you the right to file a complaint with your supervisory authority. A list of supervisory authorities is available here: EEA and EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs); Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC); UK Information Commissioner ’s Office (ICO).
Rights related to automated decision-making: To the extent that we engage in decision-making based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or which significantly affects you, you have the right not to be subject to such decision-making.
Right to object to processing: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information that is based on legitimate interests or your consent (rather than when the reason for using it is to perform an obligation due to you under a contract with us). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we can demonstrate the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. You can object to the processing of your personal information by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
Legal Bases for Processing Your Personal Information:
JAKKS collects your personal information to provide our products and services to you; otherwise, we may not be able to process the transactions you request. We will only process your personal information when we have a lawful basis for doing so. If you are in a country in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you are entitled to an explanation of the legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. The legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it, which is discussed below.
Depending on the situation, we may be the controller or the processor for personal information collected from residents of the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland. If you have any questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information for any specific processing activity, please contact us using the “Contact Us” section below.
Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Information:
Our Services are operated in the United States. Personal information about you provides while in the EU, an EEA member state, the UK, or Switzerland may be transferred to the United States. The United States does not have an adequacy decision or adequacy regulation. The GDPR permits such transfers when necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us, if we obtain your explicit consent to such transfer, or if it is in our legitimate interest to transfer the personal information. The laws in the United States may not be as protective as the GDPR or the laws of other jurisdictions where you may be located. If we transfer personal information from the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, or another country with cross-border transfer obligations, we will provide an appropriate safeguard, such as using standard contractual clauses.
To obtain a copy of the safeguard(s), please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
Your Right to an Independent Recourse Mechanism
As described above, we participate in and are certified as compliant with the Privacy Shield. Although this is no longer a valid transfer mechanism, we still comply with these requirements to ensure the safety and security of your personal information. In compliance with Privacy Shield Principles, JAKKS commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your Personal Information by first contacting JAKKS at privacy@jakks.com.
If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please visit http://go.adr.org/privacyshield.html for more information or email casefiling@adr.org to file a complaint.
