Privacy Policy for Jones Instruction
Effective Date: October 20, 2025
We may update this policy periodically. The Effective Date at the top of this document indicates the last revision. It is your sole responsibility to review this policy frequently, and your continued use of the Website constitutes your agreement to the updated terms.
1. Our Data Collection Commitment
Jones Instruction is committed to user privacy and transparency. We operate strictly as a general audience website that does not rely on tracking or user accounts.
- NO Account Creation: We don't offer user accounts or registration services.
- NO Personal Tracking: We do not collect or store specific user identifiers, such as IP addresses, unique device IDs (used for tracking individuals), or persistent identifiers for the purpose of tracking individuals across other websites or for targeted advertising.
2. Information We Collect
We collect two distinct types of data: voluntary submissions and automatically collected, anonymized data.
A. Voluntary Submission Data (Personally Identifiable Information)
The only information that can personally identify you is data that you voluntarily and actively submit to us, typically via the High-Priority Inquiry Form. This information may include: Name, Email Address, Phone Number (optional), and the content of your message.
Use of Voluntary Data: This data is used solely for the purpose of communicating with you and resolving your specific inquiry or request.
B. Automatically Collected, Anonymized Data (Non-Personal)
We use functional cookies to collect general data to improve our site and provide anonymous analytics. This information is always aggregated or anonymized and cannot be used to identify an individual.
We collect the following anonymized statistical data:
- Statistical Views & Visitor Counts: Daily and monthly totals for visitors and overall page views, used for site performance transparency.
- Geographical Origin: Traffic is analyzed solely by country of origin (e.g., "5% from France"). We do not collect or store any more granular location data, such as city, region, or specific IP addresses.
- Pages: Which specific pages on the site are being viewed, used to identify popular content and improve site structure.
- Devices: Device type (Desktop or Mobile), used to ensure site compatibility and fix technical errors.
- Traffic Sources: How visitors arrived at the site (e.g., direct link, search engine, external website), used to understand marketing effectiveness.
3. Cookie Policy and Your Consent
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We only use cookies that are strictly necessary and functional to ensure the website operates correctly and to power our anonymous analytics display.
Your Consent: By continuing to use this Website after being presented with the cookie notice, you consent to the placement of these functional and strictly necessary cookies. You may manage or delete cookies at any time through your individual browser settings.
4. Children's and Teenagers' Privacy (Users Under Age 18)
We apply a strict policy regarding the privacy of users under the age of eighteen (18).
4.1. Intentional Non-Collection:
We do not intentionally or knowingly collect, use, or disclose any personally identifiable information from individuals under the age of 18 without Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC). The only data collected from minors without VPC is the automatically collected, anonymized, and aggregated Non-Personal Data outlined in Section 2(B).
4.2. Parental/Guardian Rights and Control (Review, Delete, and Refuse):
A parent or legal guardian of a user under 18 has the right to contact us at any time at [Privacy Contact Email] to review any personal information we may have inadvertently collected about their minor, to request the deletion of that information, and to prohibit any future collection or use of their minor's personal information. We will take reasonable steps to verify the identity of the person making the request to ensure they are the parent or legal guardian.
4.3. Inadvertent Collection:
In the event we discover we have inadvertently collected personally identifiable information from a user that we have actual knowledge of under 18 without VPC, we will immediately delete that information from our records.
