This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and share your personal information through our services. Horror, Inc. is the data controller of the personal information collected through the services (as defined in our Terms of Service (“Terms”). Horror, Inc. is referred to in this Policy as “Jason Universe”, “we”, “our” or “us”.
How we handle your information depends on which services you use, and how you use them. This Policy is grouped into these sections:
information we collect & why we use it;
when we disclose information to others;
how to control your privacy; and
information about local privacy laws.
We encourage you to read this Policy carefully. If you have questions, please contact us.
This Policy explains how we process your personal information and how you can exercise control over our processing. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this Policy are defined in our Terms. The Terms describe how the Services works in general, and establishes a contract between you and us governing your use of the Services.
If you have any questions or feedback about this Policy, email us at privacy@jasonuniverse.com.
Because the Services change often, this Policy may change over time. Anytime we modify the Policy, we will post a revised version on the Services and update the Last Updated date above. If we intend to use your personal information in a way that is materially different from the ways described at the time of collection, we will notify you before the material changes to this Policy take effect, so you have time to review them. We may notify you by SMS or email, post a temporary notice on the Services, or notify you by other means to the extent required by law.
We encourage you to review the Last Updated date periodically to ensure you’re aware of the current Policy. By using or accessing the Services, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Policy and the Terms.
This Policy applies to you when you use the Services, effective as of the Last Updated date above. However, some collection and use of information falls outside this Policy:
We collect certain information when you use the services. This includes information you provide through the services, information we collect automatically, and information we receive from other sources. This also includes information you may provide to third-party service providers while using our services.
This section describes, comprehensively, how the services collect and use your information, and our legal basis for that processing. Under certain data protection laws like GDPR, companies must have a “legal basis”—a valid reason—to process personal information. We rely on different legal bases to process your information for the purposes described in this Policy.
What we collect | How we use it | Why we process it | Legal basis |
Activity data – areas of the services you visit, where you click, scroll, hover over or otherwise interact with the services, and when and for how long the activity occurred. | We collect, analyze, process, and store activity data including via automated means

Any personal information that Jason Universe obtains from other third-party sources will be processed by Jason Universe calis in accordance with this Policy and all applicable laws.
Jason Universe has implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Still, no data transmission online is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you provide, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot promise that your information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we may provide.
This section describes how and why we exchange personal information with contractors and third parties. It also describes exchanges made for certain purposes, like advertising, legal reasons and consensual direct marketing. We may also disclose deidentified and/or anonymized data for these purposes.
That means we don’t provide or exchange your personal information with others to faciliate behavioral ads (i.e., ads targeted to you) or otherwise sell it. For clarity, we haven’t shared or sold any personal information for that purpose in the past twelve (12) months.
We only exchange information about you with third parties for direct marketing purposes if you opt in, and will only do so until you opt out.
In addition to the use of trackers described above, we contract with companies or individuals to provide certain services related to the functionality and features of the Services, including payment processing, email and hosting services, software development, shipping and fulfillment, data management, and administration of contests and other promotions. We refer to them as “contractors.”
We may disclose information about you, such as Personal Identifiers, Commercial Information, Internet Activity and Device Information, to contractors as necessary for them to perform their services. Contractors are not permitted to use information about you for any other purpose. In the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed these types of information to the following types of contractors:
Finally, we may disclose personal information:
We may periodically ask for your consent to disclose your information to third parties. Whenever we ask your consent for this reason, we will summarize the purpose and scope of the disclosure.
We retain your information only as long as we need it for the purposes described under How we use information, except when longer retention is required by our compliance policies and efforts toward applicable legal, tax, accounting and regulatory requirements.
How long we need information for those purposes varies by category, and even within categories. These retention determinations always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from its unauthorized use or disclosure, whether we can achieve those purposes without using the personal information.
For example, we delete some Internet Activity at some soon as you exit the Services, whereas we may retain records of your orders for services and products for several years as required by law or contract, such as agreements with our payment processors or under our accounting standards.
In General
As a user of the Services, you have rights and choices about your personal information. We want you to be in control of your information, so we want to remind you of the following options and tools available to you:
The Services is intended for adult users. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 16, and we do not share or sell information about anyone under 16 without affirmative authorization. If we learn that we have collected information from a person under age 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
The Services operates from the United States, but this Policy applies worldwide. Our practices generally do not differ based on your location, but your rights and choices depend in part on the law where you live.
If those location-specific sections apply to you, those sections override any contrary descriptions elsewhere in the Policy as they relate to you. If you have questions about your rights under other data privacy laws, please contact us.
If you reside outside the United States, we transfer information about you for processing in the United States. By providing your information to us, you consent to the processing of the information in the United States. The transfer of this information to the United States is necessary for the performance of our contract for use of the Services.
When we transfer personal data subject to GDPR outside of Jason Universe, we use standard contract clauses approved by the EU for this purpose, or another appropriate transfer mechanism.
Note that U.S. law is not equivalent to laws in other countries, such as GDPR in Europe or PIPEDA in Canada. As of the Last Updated date, the U.S. has not been deemed an ‘adequate’ jurisdiction under GDPR for the purposes of international data transfers. However, the EU and the U.S. are negotiating the terms of an adequacy determination that may go into effect in the years to come.
