Jinkley Wiki:Privacy policy

Jinkley Wiki values your privacy. Maintaining your privacy is our priority.

This Privacy Policy covers types of information collected and recorded by Jinkley Wiki through it and through any other services offered by MediaWiki ("Services"), the handling of that information, as well as rights and recourse for platform users regarding this data.

By using the Services, you agree and consent to this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions regarding our privacy practices or would like to exercise your privacy rights, please email jinkleywiki@gmail.com.

1. Information collected and how it's used

The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information. We retain collected User information indefinitely for archival, restorative, or research purposes. Your personal information is kept private and stored securely until a time it is no longer required or has no use. We also retain individual Usage information for 180 days, after which it is deleted.

1.1. User information

If you so choose, you may create an account on Jinkley Wiki. Some features are reserved only for logged-in users, like requesting wikis. At the time of account creation, we collect personal information such as your username and password. Your username will be used to identify you on our Services.

You may also provide additional information, if you so choose, such as your name (legal name or commonly used pseudonym or nom de plume), usernames for external communication services including Discord, pronoun preferences, your email address, or other information, in your user preferences or elsewhere. This information will be public and labeled as such. Your real name may be used to attribute your Contributions.

Please use discretion when sharing personal information on Jinkley Wiki. This information may be archived or indexed by third parties and search engines and may appear in search results for search engines.

1.2. Contributions

Making a contribution (such as an edit) through our Services ("Contributions") creates a public record of every piece of content added, removed, or altered by you. The revision history of every page, including who contributed what at what time, is public, and Jinkley Wiki retains this data indefinitely. If you have an account registered with Jinkley Wiki, your Contributions will be attributed and associated to your username (or potentially with the "real name" set in your user preferences, if defined).

If you are not registered with Jinkley Wiki, your Contributions will be associated with your IP Address.

Your Contributions may be visible to the public and may show up on search engines. Even if an article, revision, or any other sort of contribution, is "deleted," it may still be viewable by wiki operators, Jinkley Wiki personnel, or vetted volunteers. Aside from the rare times when Jinkley Wiki is required to delete content in response to a court order or legal process, there is no guarantee that permanent deletion will occur. Please do not contribute anything that you are uncomfortable making permanently public, like revealing your real name or location in your contributions as this may be copied and redistributed throughout the Internet by other people.

2. Sharing Information with Third Parties

Jinkley Wiki is committed to privacy and will never sell your data to advertisers or share your information with third parties without your consent. Some individuals or organizations may have access to user or usage information in order to help us provide our Services or to maximize your experience:

Should your data be shared in order to comply with an aforementioned circumstance, we will notify you, via email, within fourteen (14) business days unless we are either barred from doing so by court order, we believe there to be a credible risk of harm to life or limb by disclosing the request, or you do not have a verified email address on your account.
• Protect Jinkley Wiki and others - Jinkley Wiki may use or share Usage and/or User information if it is deemed necessary in order to protect Jinkley Wiki or others from legal threats, threats of harm, or to protect ourselves, users, or others from any other sort of threat.

5. Transfer of Information Across Borders

Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, servers and databases located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as in your jurisdiction. Please be advised that we may transfer your information to and from any state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction, and process it in the United States or elsewhere. By using the Services, you consent to any such transfer of your information.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors

Our website displays advertisements to support our services. These advertisements are non-targeted, meaning they are not based on your personal interests, browsing history, or behavioral profiling.

• How Ads are Served - We use third-party advertising partners to serve ads. While these ads are random, these vendors may still use "session cookies" or device identifiers for basic technical purposes, such as limiting the number of times you see the same ad, preventing click fraud, or measuring general site traffic.

• Florida Consumer Privacy - In compliance with Florida law, we disclose that we do not process your personal data for the purpose of "Targeted Advertising." Because our ads are random, we do not build a consumer profile of your activities across different websites.

• Data Sales - We do not sell your personal data to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration.

• Browser Settings- You can still choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options, though this may affect how you interact with certain features on our site.

You agree that any legal action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the courts located within the State of Florida, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
