Privacy Policy

At jmwdba.us, the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This Privacy Policy describes how jmwdba.us (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your Personal Information when you visit our website (the “Site”).

Information We Collect

We may collect Personal Information that you provide to us when you register for our services, subscribe to our newsletter, leave comments, or fill out a form on our Site. This may include your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.

We may also collect non-personal information about your visit to our Site, such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system, to help with spam detection.

Log Files

Like many other Web sites, jmwdba.us makes use of log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information. IP addresses and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

Cookies and Web Beacons

jmwdba.us does use cookies to store information about visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on which pages the user access or visit, customize web page content based on the visitor’s browser type or other information that the visitor sends via their browser.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Use of Information

We may use your Personal Information to provide you with our services, respond to your inquiries, and send you marketing communications. We may also use non-personal information to improve our Site and analyze trends.

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose your Personal Information to our service providers who assist us in providing our services. We may also disclose your Personal Information if required by law or if we believe that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.

Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such websites.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Any data identified as being provided with a third-party for the purposes of providing additional products or services must be cleared directly with them in accordance with their stated privacy policy.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Akismet

We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
