Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Just Digital Journal (“we”, “us” or “our”) handles information when you visit justdigitaljournal.com (the “Site”). We collect as little information as possible and we never sell your personal data.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you browse the Site, our hosting provider, security services and analytics tools may record technical details such as:

IP address (which may be shortened or anonymized)
Browser type, device type and operating system
Pages viewed, time spent on pages and the website that referred you
Approximate location at country or city level
Date and time of your visit

We do not ask for, and do not knowingly collect, sensitive information such as health, financial or identity details.

2. How we use information

To run, maintain and secure the Site
To understand which content is useful so we can improve it
To reply to messages you send us
To detect and prevent spam, abuse and technical problems
To meet our legal obligations

Where data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Site, on your consent for non-essential cookies, and on legal obligation where relevant.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site may use:

Essential cookies needed for the Site to load securely, including those set by our security and content delivery provider.
Analytics cookies that help us count visits and understand how the Site is used. Where the law requires it, these are only set with your consent.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The Site will still work if you do.

4. Third-party services

We use trusted providers to run the Site. These may include:

Web hosting, which processes server logs to deliver pages.
Cloudflare, which helps deliver the Site quickly and protects it from attacks. It may process your IP address and set essential security cookies.
Analytics (such as Google Analytics), which provides combined statistics about visits.
Google Fonts, which serves the typefaces used on the Site and may receive your IP address when fonts load.

Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy. We choose providers that offer appropriate safeguards for any data transferred outside your country.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We only share it with the service providers listed above so they can work on our behalf, where the law requires it, to protect our rights, or as part of a transfer of the Site to a new owner.

6. Data retention

We keep emails only for as long as we need to respond and follow up, then delete them unless we must keep them for legal reasons. Analytics data is kept in combined form and expires automatically, typically within 14 to 26 months.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Ask what personal information we hold about you and request a copy
Ask us to correct or delete your information
Object to or restrict how we use your information
Withdraw any consent you have given, such as for analytics cookies
Complain to your local data protection authority

California residents may also ask which categories of personal information we collect and request that we delete it. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

To use any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will reply within the time the law requires.

8. Security

The Site is served over HTTPS and we take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect information. No method of sending data over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Links to other sites

We are an independent publication. Our pages may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies before sharing any information with them.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
