Privacy Policy.
1. Summary
We collect the details you send through the contact form or by email, plus basic technical data our hosting provider records when you visit. We use them to answer you, run the site and keep it secure. We do not sell or share your personal information for advertising, and the site does not use advertising or analytics cookies.

3. Information we collect
We collect it directly from you or automatically from your device.

Please do not send us sensitive information such as health data, government identification numbers, payment card details or passwords. Information about client projects is handled under the agreement we sign with that client.
4. Why we use it, and our legal basis
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on these legal bases:
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Reply to your enquiry and discuss a possible project | Steps at your request before entering a contract, and our legitimate interest in running our business |
| Operate, secure and fix the site, and prevent abuse | Legitimate interests |
| Keep records and meet legal, tax and regulatory duties | Legal obligation |
| Anything else we ask you about first | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects on you.
5. Who we share it with
We share personal information only with the following kinds of recipients, and only as needed:
- Service providers that host the site, deliver email or store enquiries: [list providers and link to their privacy policies].
- Professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants and insurers, under a duty of confidentiality.
- Authorities, courts or other parties when the law requires it or to protect our rights.
- A successor business, if Jinis is merged, sold or reorganised.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
6. International transfers
Our providers may process information in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, we use safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can ask us for a copy of the safeguards by emailing contact@thejinis.com.
7. How long we keep it
We keep information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, then delete or anonymise it.
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Enquiries and related emails | [for example, 24 months after our last contact] |
| Hosting server logs | [for example, 30 days] |
| Records we must keep by law | For the period the law requires |
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you and get a copy;
- correct information that is wrong or incomplete;
- ask us to delete it;
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- receive it in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier use;
- lodge a complaint with your data protection authority, such as your national supervisory authority in the EEA or the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK.
To use a right, email contact@thejinis.com. We may need to confirm your identity first. We respond within one month, or within 45 days for California requests, and we may extend that period where the law allows. We will not charge a fee unless a request is clearly unfounded or excessive. Providing information through the contact form is voluntary, but we cannot reply to you without your name and email address.
9. California and other US states
If you are a resident of California or another US state with a consumer privacy law, you have the following rights, subject to the exceptions in the law:
- know what personal information we collect, use, disclose and sell or share, and get a copy;
- delete personal information we collected from you;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share it, so there is nothing to opt out of;
- limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not collect it for any purpose that requires this right;
- not be treated unfairly for using these rights.
In the past 12 months we collected the categories of personal information listed in the table above (identifiers, communications and internet activity data) for the business purposes described in this policy. We disclosed them only to the service providers described above. To make a request, email contact@thejinis.com. You may use an authorised agent, and we will ask for proof of authority and verify your identity. We treat browser opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control as valid opt-out requests, although we do not sell or share information.
10. Cookies and tracking
The site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details. We do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals in a special way because we do not track you across sites.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects you, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.
12. Children
This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us information, email contact@thejinis.com and we will delete it.
13. Links to other sites
The site may link to websites and products run by others. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
14. Changes to this policy
We review this policy at least once a year. When we make a material change, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where the law requires, tell you directly before the change applies.
15. Contact us
Questions or requests about privacy: contact@thejinis.com, or by post at Sheridan, WY, United States.
