Let’s Talk About Your Privacy

At JamesPratt.com (“JP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit our website, www.jamespratt.com (the “Site”), or use the services, features, content, or applications we provide (collectively referred to as the “Services”).

We collect information about you from several sources, including:

  1. Information you provide when you register for an account on the Site and Services (your “Account”).

  2. Data generated from your general use of the Services.

  3. Information obtained from third-party websites and services.

Any terms not explicitly defined in this Privacy Policy will have the same meaning as stated in our Terms of Service.

What Does Our Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy explains how JamesPratt.com (“JP”) collects, uses, stores, and discloses Personal Data when you access and use our Services. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, Personal Data refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual, and processing includes actions such as collection, use, storage, and disclosure of data.

Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy also applies to:

  • How JP handles Personal Data shared by our business partners.

  • How JP shares Personal Data with its business partners.

However, this Privacy Policy does not apply to:

  • The practices of third-party websites, services, or applications that JP does not own or control.

  • Individuals or entities that JP does not employ or manage (referred to as “Third Parties”).

While we strive to engage with Third Parties that respect your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for their content, actions, or privacy policies. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any Third Parties you interact with.

Your GDPR Rights (If Applicable)

If you are a resident of the European Union, United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may apply to your Personal Data.

  • Controller vs Processor:

    • JP acts as the controller of your Personal Data when processing it directly for the Services.

    • JP may act as the processor of Personal Data when handling data on behalf of our customers (e.g., users of JP’s Services who provide their own customers’ or employees’ data).

If JP is the processor of your Personal Data, you should contact the controller (the individual or organisation who collected your data) for any questions or to exercise your rights.

If JP is the controller, or if you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your GDPR rights, please contact us or our website hosting partner for further assistance.

What Personal Data Does JP Collect From You?

We collect Personal Data about you from three primary sources:

  1. Directly from you when you provide it to us.

Please note that we disclaim any responsibility for the Personal Data of others that you provide to us through the Services.

Do Not Track Requests

Your browser may offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) option, which signals websites and web applications that you do not wish to be tracked across different sites and over time. However, because we collect browsing data and use persistent identifiers, our Services do not currently support Do Not Track requests. This means we may collect information about your online activity both while you are using our Services and after you leave.

Our Services utilise various types of Cookies to enhance functionality, personalise your experience, and improve performance. Below is an overview of the types of Cookies we use:

1. Essential Cookies

Additional information about interest-based advertisements

We may display advertisements on our Services and allow third-party ad networks - including ad servers, agencies, technology vendors, and research firms - to serve advertisements to users.

How Interest-Based Ads Work

Managing Interest-Based Ads

Several industry self-regulatory programmes, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), provide tools to help you understand and control behaviourally targeted advertisements.

Your Personal Data and Advertisers

We do not share your Personal Data with advertisers without your explicit consent. However, if you click on or interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may place a Cookie in your browser and record that your activity matches the criteria they selected for targeting.
