Who we are

Welcome to JD’s Market, where customer privacy is a top priority. Our website is designed to provide a convenient and secure shopping experience, and we’re committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit www.jds.market. Our team ensures that all personal information is handled responsibly and transparently.

Comments

To enhance user engagement, JD’s Market allows visitors to leave comments. When you post a comment, we collect information such as the data entered in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser user-agent. This helps us detect and prevent spam, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all users. Additionally, if you use a Gravatar service, an anonymized string created from your email address may be used to verify your profile. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to other site visitors in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS) for privacy reasons. Visitors to our website can download and view location data from these images if included. We recommend removing any sensitive metadata before uploading, as this step helps maintain your privacy and limits the information others can access.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. When you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This saves you the hassle of re-entering your information for future comments. Login cookies are also set to facilitate access to your account. For example, temporary cookies determine if your browser accepts cookies, and these are discarded upon closing your browser. When you log in, additional cookies retain your login details for two days, or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected. If you log out, these cookies are removed to ensure privacy. Furthermore, if you edit or publish a post, a cookie will store the post ID temporarily, expiring after 24 hours.

Embedded content from other websites

Our content may feature links to or include embedded media, such as videos, images, and articles from external sites. Embedded content behaves as if the visitor accessed the original source website. These external websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction, particularly if you are logged into those sites. We advise reading the privacy policies of these third-party sites to understand their data collection practices fully.

Who we share your data with

JD’s Market respects your privacy and generally does not share your data with third parties. However, in cases such as password reset requests, your IP address may be included in the email to confirm your identity. Additionally, select third-party service providers (such as hosting and anti-spam services) may process certain data as needed to support our site operations while complying with strict confidentiality standards.

How long we retain your data

Comments and related metadata are stored indefinitely to allow us to recognize and approve follow-up comments efficiently. For registered users, we store personal data in their user profiles for ease of access and management. Users can view, edit, or delete their profile data at any time, though username changes are restricted. Our website administrators have access to this data and are committed to managing it securely.

What rights you have over your data

As a JD’s Market user, you have rights regarding your personal data. If you have an account or have posted comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold. You also have the right to request data deletion, although this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons. Your rights ensure transparency and control over your information.

Where we send your data

To protect our website and maintain quality user experience, visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service. This allows us to identify and block spam effectively, creating a safer browsing environment for all users.
