Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which smartJOANS collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the smartjoans.space website ("Site"). This policy has been created with the utmost respect for User privacy and data minimization.

1. Non-Collection of Personal Data 🔒

The smartJOANS website is designed to be a **static information and tool-based resource**. We want you to know the following:

• We do not collect, store, or solicit any personal identification information (PII) such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses directly from users for site access or usage purposes.
• You can browse this Site without providing any personal data.

2. Data Handling & Processing ⚙️

Where the Site offers tools (e.g., on the `smart-tools.html` page), any processing of user-uploaded or user-inputted data adheres strictly to the following principles:

• On-Device Processing: Most data processing for our smart tools occurs **entirely on your device** (in your web browser). This means your data is never sent to our server.
• Temporary Server Processing: In cases where a server-side process is strictly necessary (e.g., large file handling), data is:
  • Saved **temporarily** to a secured upload folder.
  • Processed immediately.
  • **Deleted automatically and permanently** from the server as soon as the processing is complete and the result is delivered to the User.
• No Data Retention: We **do not store** any user-processed data, uploaded files, or derived results on our server after the task is finished.

3. Contact Forms and External Links 🔗

• Contact Form: If you use the contact page, the information you provide (e.g., your name and email) is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is **not stored** in a database on our server.
• Third-Party Links: Our Site contains links to external sites (like LinkedIn, Instagram, Telegram, and the WhatsApp chat button). We have no control over the privacy practices or content of these sites. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policies of any third-party site you visit.

4. Web Browser Cookies and Advertising 🍪

This Site uses standard internet technologies and includes third-party advertising, which may involve the use of cookies:

• Third-Party Ad Networks: We use third-party advertising networks to serve advertisements on our Site. These networks may use **cookies and similar tracking technologies** to collect information about your visits to this and other websites (non-personally identifiable information) in order to provide targeted advertisements.
• External Content and Redirects: Please be aware that ads displayed by these third-party networks are controlled entirely by the advertiser and the network. Clicking on an ad may lead to an external website, including **pop-ups or redirects**, whose content and privacy practices are **not under the control of smartJOANS**. We are not responsible for the content or safety of these external sites.
• Visitor Tracking: We use minimal analytics tools, which collect **non-personally identifiable** information such as the type of browser used, the time spent on the site, and the pages visited, to improve the site's design and content.
• You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you block cookies, some parts of the Site or the functionality of third-party services (like advertising) may be affected.

5. Your Acceptance of These Terms

By using this Site, you signify your acceptance of this policy, including the acknowledgment of third-party advertising and the potential for redirects to external content.
