Privacy Policy

1. Introduction
Jonny Cota Studio (Cota Group LLC) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency with how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit our website, sign up for our email or SMS programs, or otherwise interact with us.

By using our website or opting into our email or SMS communications, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of personal information:

  • Contact Information: name, email address, mobile phone number (for SMS).

  • Account Information: username, password (if applicable).

  • Usage Information: how you use our website, device & browser information, IP address, cookies and similar technologies.

  • Marketing & Consent Information: your preferences for receiving email or SMS messages, your opt-in date/time, how you signed up.

  • Transaction Information: if you purchase products or services via our website, we collect your billing/shipping address, payment method (via third-party payment processors), order history.

3. How We Collect Information

  • From forms you submit (e.g., email newsletter signup, SMS keyword opt-in, account creation).

  • Automatically via cookies, tracking technologies when you use our website.

  • From your interaction with our emails and SMS messages (e.g., link clicks, opens, responses, unsubscribes).

When you opt into our SMS program, we will ask for your mobile phone number and obtain your explicit written consent to receive recurring marketing messages. Per U.S. law (TCPA/CTIA), your consent is required before we send promotional SMS. (Twilio)

4. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To send you marketing communications via email and SMS about our products, services, events, and promotions (subject to your consent).

  • To provide you with the website, operate our business, process transactions, and fulfil your orders.

  • To personalise your experience on our website, analyse usage and improve our services.

  • To comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud or misuse of our website or services.

5. SMS / Email Marketing

  • Email: We send you commercial emails only if you have opted in to receive them. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in the email.

  • SMS: We send recurring promotional or personalised marketing SMS only if you have opted in via a compliant opt-in mechanism (e.g., web form with consent language, keyword enrollment). Each message will include an opt-out instruction (“Reply STOP to unsubscribe”), as required by law. (Twilio)

  • Message frequency may vary; we will not send messages outside reasonable hours (typically 8 a.m.–9 p.m. local time) in compliance with carrier guidelines. (SlickText)

  • Message and data rates may apply; you may receive 0–6 messages per month (depending on your preferences).

  • You may opt out of email or SMS at any time. If you opt-out of one channel, you may continue to receive messages via the other (unless you opt out of both).

  • We will honour all unsubscribe/STOP requests promptly. (Klaviyo Help Center)

6. Sharing & Disclosure
We will not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

  • Service providers and vendors (e.g., email/SMS platforms, payment processors, shipping carriers) to help us operate our business.

  • Affiliates, if applicable, for marketing or fulfilment.

  • Legal or regulatory authorities if required by law or to protect our rights.

  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, we may transfer personal information to the new entity.

7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to:

  • Access or obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

  • Correct or update your personal information.

  • Delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.

  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (for California residents under CCPA). (Wikipedia)

  • Withdraw your consent for email or SMS marketing at any time.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact information in Section 10.

8. Data Retention & Security
We retain personal information as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. For the SMS program we keep consent records (time/date/IP of opt-in) for at least four years in accordance with regulatory statutes. (GDPR Local)
We implement industry-standard security practices (encryption, secure access controls) to protect your personal information. However, no system is completely secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.
