Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Just Girls we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
  • In our services, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

If you have questions about accessing or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.

Just Girls Limited. (“Just Girls”) operates several websites including JustGirls.co.nz and JG.co.nz. It is Just Girl’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Just Girls collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Just Girls’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Just Girls’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Just Girls may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Just Girls also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on JustGirls.co.nz profiles. Just Girls only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Just Girls’s websites choose to interact with Just Girls in ways that require Just Girls to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Just Girls gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at JustGirls.co.nz to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Just Girls – by purchasing access to the Akismet comment spam prevention service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Just Girls collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Just Girls. Just Girls does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Just Girls may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Just Girls may monitor the most popular blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Just Girls may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Just Girls does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Just Girls discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Just Girls’s behalf or to provide services available at Just Girls’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Just Girls’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Just Girls will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Just Girls discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Just Girls believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Just Girls, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Just Girls website and have supplied your email address, Just Girls may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Just Girls and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Just Girls takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Just Girls uses cookies to help Just Girls identify and track visitors, their usage of Just Girls website, and their website access preferences. Just Girls visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Just Girls’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Just Girls’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Just Girls and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to our Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Just Girls may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Just Girls’s sole discretion. Just Girls encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a WordPress.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
