JAS Meats Privacy Policy (September 2025)

JAS Meats operates a family‑owned meat‑processing plant in Brooklyn, New York and has been operating since 1979. We create our own meat products from high‑quality cuts of meat and sell them to neighborhood shops and restaurants. Our products are available both fresh and frozen. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share information when you interact with our website or shop in person (collectively, the Services). By using the Services you consent to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide to us

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you create an account, make a purchase, request a sample, sign up for marketing messages or contact us. Examples include:

  • Contact details – name, email, phone number, billing and shipping addresses. For example, our online sample request form requires your first and last name, email, phone number, business name and selected sample product.

  • Order details and payment information – items ordered, payment card details and transaction information.

  • Account information – usernames, passwords and settings.

  • Communications – any messages you send to us, including emails or inquiries.

1.2 Information we collect automatically

When you use the Services we automatically collect:

  • Device and usage data – IP address, browser type, device identifiers and information about how you navigate our site.

  • Cookies and similar technologies – we and our service providers (including Shopify) use cookies and other technologies to recognize you and gather information about your interactions with our site. Cookies help us remember your cart, improve the Services and display relevant advertising.

1.3 Information from third parties

We may receive personal information from service providers and partners that help us operate the Services, such as payment processors, fulfillment companies and marketing partners. For example, the Services are hosted by Shopify, and information you submit is transmitted to and shared with Shopify.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  • Providing and improving the Services. We process your orders, arrange shipping, send order confirmations and respond to customer service inquiries. We also remember your preferences and tailor the Services to your interests.

  • Marketing and advertising. We may send you marketing emails or text messages about our products and promotions, and show you online ads based on your activity. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

  • Security and fraud prevention. We use information to authenticate accounts and detect or prevent fraud or other illegal activity.

  • Legal compliance. We may use your information to meet legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, enforce our terms and protect our rights.

3. How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information in the situations below:

  • Service providers and vendors. We share information with third parties that perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processing, order fulfillment, data analytics and IT services).

  • Business and marketing partners. We may share information with partners to provide advertising and marketing services.

  • At your direction or with your consent. We share information when you ask us to, such as when shipping products or integrating social‑media features.

  • Affiliates and corporate transactions. We may share information within our corporate group or in connection with a sale, merger or other transaction.

  • Legal reasons. We may disclose information to comply with law or legal process, or to protect our rights and safety.

4. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, provide certain features and analyze traffic. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the Services may not function properly. We also use third‑party analytics tools (e.g., Shopify’s analytics) to better understand how visitors use our site. These providers may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites.

5. SMS Messaging and Email Communications

If you provide your phone number or email address, we may send you transactional messages (e.g., sample confirmations and order status) and marketing messages. You can opt out of marketing messages at any time by following the instructions in the message (e.g., replying STOP to an SMS). Transactional communications relating to your purchases may continue even if you opt out of marketing.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. The retention period may vary depending on the type of data and purpose of processing.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your information for targeted advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. To make a request, please contact us using the details below; we may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

8. International Transfers

We may transfer and process your personal information outside of your country of residence. When we do so, we use appropriate safeguards, such as contractual clauses, to protect your information.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical and physical measures designed to protect personal information. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send us sensitive information through unsecure channels.

10. Children

Our Services are not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction.

11. Changes to This Policy
