Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Jalparo ("we", "us", or "our"), available at jalparo.com, collects, uses, shares and protects information from visitors ("you"). By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the website.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

We only collect information that you choose to give us when you use certain features. We ask for the minimum information needed to respond to you, manage user submissions and keep the website free from spam and abuse:

• Contact form: your name, email address, optional city/country, subject and message.
• Comments: your name, email address and the comment you write.
• Ask-a-question / FAQ: your name, email address and your question.

We do not ask for sensitive information such as your phone number, postal address, date of birth, government IDs, passwords, financial details or payment information. You should not include such information in any form, comment or message submitted through the website. Your email address is used only to reply to you, manage your submission and help prevent spam. It is never published on the website.

Information collected automatically

We deliberately keep automatic data collection limited and privacy-conscious:

• No raw IP storage by Jalparo. For spam and abuse prevention, we may store only a one-way, irreversible cryptographic hash of your IP address, not the raw IP address itself. We do not use this to build advertising profiles or tracking profiles of individual visitors.
• Security and delivery through Cloudflare. Our infrastructure and security provider, Cloudflare, may process your IP address, browser information and basic request data to deliver the website, improve performance and protect it from attacks, spam, bots and abuse. Cloudflare also powers the anti-spam verification shown on some forms through Turnstile. Cloudflare processes this data according to its own privacy policy.
• Analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data such as pages viewed, approximate region, device type, browser type, referral source and general interaction patterns. This helps us understand how visitors use the website and improve our content, layout and performance. We do not use Google Analytics to personally identify individual visitors.
• Local storage. Some interactive features, such as article like/dislike buttons, may store a random identifier in your browser to prevent duplicate votes. This information stays on your device and does not directly identify you.

Cookies and Tracking

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We keep our use of cookies and similar technologies limited to what is necessary for security, functionality, analytics and website improvement. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work as expected.

• Essential cookies: used for website security, basic functionality and admin-area operation.
• Analytics cookies: used by Google Analytics to understand traffic, usage patterns and website performance.
• Security cookies: Cloudflare and Turnstile may use cookies or similar technologies to protect the website and verify that visitors are human.
• Advertising cookies: we do not currently display third-party advertisements and do not use advertising cookies. If we introduce advertising in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and explain the relevant choices before the change takes effect.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• To respond to your messages, comments and questions.
• To review, moderate, publish, edit or remove user submissions.
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the website.
• To understand website traffic and improve user experience.
• To protect the website against spam, abuse, fraud, bots and security threats.
• To enforce our terms, protect our rights and comply with legal obligations where required.

We do not use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with those described above. We do not sell your personal information.

Third-Party Services

We rely on trusted third-party services to operate, secure and improve the website. These may include our hosting provider, Cloudflare for content delivery, security and anti-spam protection, Turnstile for human verification, and Google Analytics for website measurement.

These third-party providers may process limited information according to their own privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices or content of third-party services or websites.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We only share limited information in the following situations:

• With service providers that help us operate, secure, analyse and improve the website.
• When required by law, court order, legal process or government request.
• When necessary to protect our rights, property, users, website security or the safety of the public.
• In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of website assets, if applicable.

Data Retention

We keep submissions such as contact messages, comments and questions only for as long as needed for the purpose they were provided, for moderation and spam-prevention purposes, or as required by law. Comments may remain published for as long as the relevant article or page remains available, unless removed earlier.

You may ask us to delete personal information you have submitted by contacting us at the email address below. We may retain limited information where necessary for legal, security, fraud-prevention or record-keeping purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. These measures may include HTTPS encryption in transit, hashed rather than raw IP storage by Jalparo, spam and abuse controls, restricted admin access and security protection through trusted service providers.

However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You share information with us at your own risk.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted to us. You may also withdraw consent for optional processing where applicable.

To make a request, contact us at officialjalparo@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed to children under the age of 13, or the minimum age required in your country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
