Privacy Policy

Information We Process

We process information necessary to operate JotSpot, including account details you provide, content you publish or draft, and technical data required to deliver and secure the service.

This may include usernames, email addresses (for registered accounts), content you create, and operational metadata such as timestamps and usage activity.

How Data Is Used

Your data is used solely to provide core functionality, maintain security, prevent abuse, and ensure reliable operation of the service. We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising.

Content you choose to publish publicly will be accessible to anyone with the appropriate link or through public listings, depending on your visibility settings.

Legal Basis (UK GDPR)

We process personal data where necessary to perform the service you request, to comply with legal obligations, or to pursue legitimate interests such as maintaining security and preventing misuse.

Cookies and Local Storage

JotSpot uses essential cookies to support login sessions, security protections, ownership verification, and other core features. These cookies are strictly necessary for the service to function.

We may also use local storage to remember interface preferences such as theme settings. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

Content and Visibility

Public or shared content may be viewed, copied, or archived by others. You are responsible for the information you choose to publish. Draft or unlisted content is only accessible via private links or authorized access methods.

Security

We implement reasonable technical safeguards to protect data, including secure connections, token hashing or encryption, and server-side sanitization of user-provided content. However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Retention

We retain account information and content for as long as necessary to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data, subject to operational and legal requirements.

Third-Party Services

JotSpot may rely on infrastructure providers (such as hosting or email services) to operate. These providers process data only as needed to deliver the service.

Content may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. Requests can be submitted via our contact page.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of JotSpot after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
