Privacy Policy

Overview

WhatCanJevDo is an independent community resource for discovering Jev projects, patterns, and learning materials. This policy explains what information we process when you browse the site, create an account, contact support, or submit a project.

Information You Provide

Depending on the features you use, you may provide:

• Account information, such as your name, email address, profile image, and authentication details.
• Project submission information, including your name, email address, project name, website or repository links, project description, and supporting evidence.
• Support and feedback content, including messages and any attachments you choose to send.
• Payment information if paid features are offered. Payment providers process payment-card or account details; we may receive transaction identifiers, status, billing email, and related records.

Please do not submit confidential information or personal information about another person unless you are authorized to do so.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the site, our servers and service providers may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, requested pages, timestamps, referring page, and error or security events.

We use cookies or similar storage where needed to keep you signed in, remember preferences such as language or theme, protect the service, and operate enabled features. If analytics or customer-support tools are configured, those providers may also collect usage information under their own policies. The tools in use may change as the site develops.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate, secure, and improve the site.
• Create and manage accounts and preferences.
• Review project submissions and communicate with submitters.
• Respond to support requests and service messages.
• Process transactions and maintain required business records.
• Detect spam, fraud, abuse, and technical problems.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

Legal Bases

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information as necessary to provide the service you request, for our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the site, with your consent, or to comply with law. You may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, without affecting earlier processing.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

• With hosting, database, authentication, analytics, communications, storage, support, and payment providers that help operate the service.
• Publicly when you submit information for publication, such as an approved project listing. We will not intentionally publish the private contact details supplied for review unless you separately ask us to do so.
• When required by law or a valid legal process.
• To protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, or the service.
• As part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, dispute resolution, and legal or accounting requirements. Retention periods vary by data type. Public project information may remain available until it is corrected or removed, while backups and logs may persist for a limited additional period.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please use a strong password and protect your account credentials.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You can manage some account information in your settings and control cookies through your browser. Disabling essential storage may prevent parts of the service from working.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where required by law or for legitimate security and recordkeeping purposes.

International Processing

Our service providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Children

The service is not directed to children under 13, or the higher minimum age required in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that age. If you believe a child has provided such information, please contact us so we can address it.

Third-Party Links

The directory links to third-party websites, repositories, and resources. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service changes. We will post the revised version here, update the date above, and provide additional notice where required.
