Our cookies on your device
Jappleng like almost every other website online creates and stores
a file to your computer. This file is called a cookie. The
information stored in this cookie pertains to your login "session"
information.
This information is used to know what account you are using when
logged onto Jappleng along with a few other pieces of encrypted
information to help make the site function for you. For instance
night/day mode is remembered using cookies.
What if I'm a Guest and just visiting?
We will also install a cookie on your computer or at least attempt
to. Guest sessions do not require cookies but it aides the process
and ensures that your session is unique and not shared with
others.
Are cookies safe?
Generally they are pretty safe and with us they most certainly are.
The cookies we install on your device are used to keep you logged
in, otherwise there is no way to securely keep the login session
active. We do not allow our cookies to be used from other domains
and web browsers are beginning to support this as a default
feature.
Are the cookies encrypted?
Yes, we use https encryption and the data transmitted is secure.
However, keep in mind that this does not completely protect you
from malicious activity, nor does it keep you completely anonymous
from your Internet Service Provider or Government. We work
diligently to protect your information as best as we can.
Do third parties use Cookies in the name of
Jappleng?
No, however we do use Google Analytics for the time being to help
us know how people use the site (anonymously) but that is their
cookies, not ours.
Is Jappleng involved in a Cookie sharing
enterprise?
No, we do not look at other cookies you have stored on your device,
we don't share your cookie information with other providers.
However, it is entirely possible for other, third party services to
sneak a peak at your cookie data. That is why we encrypt and
protect it so that this does not happen on Jappleng.
What if I don't like Cookies, can I
opt-out?
Cookies are not the harmful, scary thing as they were in the 90s
but they can still be pretty malicious in the hands of advertisers
however. We kindly ask that you make Jappleng an exception. We are
very straight-forward with what we do with your information (It's
not malicious, and we're proud of it), but more importantly there
is no way for us to have a secure handshake. Every time you login,
a session ID is stored into our database which is the same as
what's on your cookie. That tells us that you are who you say you
are until you decide to logout or you time-out. Without it, you
cannot use our service.
Can I say no to Google Analytics?
Yes, by all means you are free to do so. This is your choice to
block Google from monitoring your activity on this website. It
helps us know more about how many people visit, where they come
from etc… But the cost is your privacy. Please do not think that
your obligated to allow this tracker but it does help direct the
project when public feedback is not available. For more information
about Google's Privacy Policy you may visit https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en
Thank you for your time and hope that you enjoy your fill of
cookies! ~omnomnom
Jappleng does not actively need to be GDPR compliant as it only
has 1 member working on the project, however we are very much about
user privacy and have been since its conception in 2005. We value
user privacy although there are some things we cannot do due to the
complexity of the website and lack of funds to delve deeper. If
anyone knows how we can improve how we can be GDPR compliant or how
we may be more transparent or protect user privacy, please let us
know so that we can implement these changes.
Provided below are the requirements needed to be GDPR
compliant.
1. Data Breach Notifications
We actively monitor the activities of
our website to the best of our abilities and will provide notice
within 48 hours of noticing. All accounts will be required to have
a change of password and an administrative e-mail will be sent, as
well as a public document posted on our website.
2. Data Protection Impact Assessments
An assessment has been made to the
usability of Jappleng and how it impacts various demographics
including children. We have implemented restrictions and provisions
based on these demographics are diligent in learning more on how to
improve our services to benefit the user experience without
compromising the safety of our users. Data processed through
Jappleng remains with Jappleng and its parent company Hivemind
Enterprise Solutions LLC. User data is deleted as needed but the
process is limited in scope as users may not request to terminate
and delete their account. This is due to the technical limitations
of the site and is something that we are looking to pursue. Users
may delete content posted on a post-by-post basis and use Aliases
to remain anonymous. Personal identifiable data such as IP
addresses are retained for quality assurance and security purposes.
Our guests and members are not required to publish their real name
and may publish works of fiction for the utilization of the
services.
3. Privacy by Design
We are upfront and honest (always have
been) about how we collect user data. We do not give this data away
to third party services and whenever we do require a third-party
service, users may block it without breaking the website.
Everything posted on Jappleng goes through a complex validation
process to ensure the security and safety of the data transmitted.
All users are given permission to remain anonymous by using Aliases
and VPN given that they aren’t doing it to circumvent existing
rules.
4. Strict Consent Conditions
Consent is given at the registration of the website in the Terms of Service and is written that users may not terminate their account unless it becomes available. This again, is a technical limitation that will take time to implement if it is implemented but the consent is given at registration. Users are given the ability to self-moderate and delete their own posts, change their e-mail, user alias and other data at any time.
There is no processing of personal
information at the present time other than live rendering of user
data when logged-in. User data is not processed by third party
services unless indexed by search engines which is out of control
of Jappleng as a service.
5. Data Subject Access Requests
Jappleng is too small of a service to
permit users to access a record of their data and is not required.
It would involve a similar technical process as being able to
delete all user content which is not feasible for the time being.
However, we do provide transparency with how we use user data and
provide as much information as we can to the user. Data is not
processed for third party trade/sell/services.
6. Appointing a Data Protection Officer
Jappleng is not a corporation. It falls to me (Site owner) to do my best to make sure user privacy is secure, keep up to date with privacy laws and inform users of any important information regarding data breaches that may occur or changes in the privacy policy.
Jappleng does not conduct physical business with the EU nor does it actively conduct business with them. Jappleng is based in the United States of America and does not have to legally abide by the GDPR in its current state but voluntarily attempts to do so. It would be prohibitively expensive for a free-to-use project to expand and hire a data expert to be assigned as a Data Protection Officer. Perhaps in the future if Jappleng makes income it can, but as it stands it is a free-to-use service and there are many attempts to preserve user privacy, security and safety without the need to recognize European jurisdictions. This is how important I value your personal freedom and information and I will do my utmost to protect you within the scope of Jappleng to the best of my abilities.
