Privacy Policy

Last updated

This policy explains what information Jamaa News collects when you visit https://www.jamaa.net/faq/, why we collect it, and what control you have over it. It applies to this website only, not to any site we link to.

The short version

  • We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell your data.
  • We do not run a newsletter, a comment system, or a contact form, so we do not collect your name or email unless you choose to email us.
  • Advertising on this site is served by Google, which uses cookies. That is the main way data about you is collected here, and you can turn the personalised part of it off.

Information we collect

Automatically, when you load a page

Like effectively every website, our web server records standard technical information in its access logs: your IP address, the page you requested, the date and time, your browser type and version, your operating system, and the page that referred you. We use these logs to keep the site running, diagnose faults, and detect abuse. They are not used to build a profile of you and are not combined with any other source.

When you email us

If you write to [email protected], we receive your email address and whatever you put in the message. We use it to reply to you and to act on what you raised — for example, to correct an article. We keep correspondence only as long as it is useful for that purpose.

What we do not collect

We do not operate user accounts, logins, shopping carts, or payment processing. We do not ask for your name, postal address, phone number, or payment details, and we have no way to collect them.

Cookies and advertising

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store. We do not set cookies of our own for tracking or analytics. Cookies on this site come from our advertising partner.

Google AdSense

This site is funded by display advertising served through Google AdSense. The following disclosures apply:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

Google's own explanation of how it handles data from sites that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Opting out of personalised ads does not remove advertising from this site. You will still see ads; they will simply be less relevant to you.

Managing cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies through its settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function, though this site will continue to work normally.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to you, our legal basis for processing is as follows: server logs are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating and securing the website; personalised advertising cookies are processed on the basis of your consent, which you can give or withhold through the consent notice shown on your first visit and change at any time; email correspondence is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to you.

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to object to or restrict its processing, and to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with "Privacy request" in the subject line.

If you are in California

Under the CCPA/CPRA you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request its deletion, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information for money. The use of advertising cookies described above may qualify as "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising; you can opt out using the Google Ads Settings link above or by emailing us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Data retention

Server access logs are retained for a limited operational period and then overwritten. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to deal with the matter raised. Advertising cookies are set and expired by Google according to its own retention schedule, which we do not control.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, email us and we will delete it.

External links

Our articles may link to other websites. Once you follow such a link, this policy no longer applies — the destination site has its own practices, over which we have no control and for which we accept no responsibility.

Security

This site is served over HTTPS, and we apply reasonable technical measures to protect the limited information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. Material changes will be described here rather than made silently.
