Privacy Policy

Welcome to My Joy Pin! This Web3 service forms part of the decentralized internet, encompassing the https://myjoypin.com website, the Pinning Service, and related applications (collectively referred to as the “Service”).

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, stored, used, disclosed, and managed when you engage with the My Joy Pin website, the Pinning Service, and all related tools, software, APIs, and other features offered by MYJOYPIN. It applies to any website, app, or service that references this Privacy Policy.

By accessing our Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Any personal data we collect is used exclusively to improve and deliver the Service. We will not share your information beyond the provisions outlined in this document.

Unless stated otherwise within this Privacy Policy, all terms have the same meaning as defined in our Terms and Conditions.

Information We Collect and Why

While using our Service, you may be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information, which we use for purposes such as:

  • Identifying and contacting you.
  • Granting you access to the Service.
  • Restoring lost access to your account.
  • Managing your subscriptions.
  • Providing user support.
  • Delivering updates, notifications, and other relevant information.
  • Enhancing security measures, including fraud prevention.

Obtaining Consent: Your explicit consent is required before we store or use your personal information for the first time. This consent is collected through checkboxes in the registration process or via a notification dialog box.

What We Retain: To ensure transparency, here is an overview of the data we collect and how we use it:

  1. Account Information: Essential for operating your My Joy Pin account and granting access to the Service.

    • Name/Username: May be your real name, a pseudonym, or left blank. It is used to address you and display your identity to others. Note that this will be publicly visible.
    • Email: Used as your login identifier, for restoring account access, for support communication, to confirm specific actions performed within your account, and for sending notifications or updates. Emails are securely encrypted using AES-256 standards and accessed only by you and authorized support staff. You may choose to opt out of receiving promotional communications from us at any time.
    • Email hash: The Service may create and use a Decentralized Identity (DID) by hashing your email. Although this hash cannot reveal your actual email address, it may still be linked to your email to verify your identity. Whenever an operation does not require sending to an email address, the email hash is preferably used instead of the actual email.
    • DID (Decentralized Identity): Serves as your unique identifier for secure operations, including login, data updates, and transaction approvals. DIDs are also used for validating your electronic signature. Keep in mind that every time you sign a document, token, transaction, or confirmation, your DID is shared with the recipient alongside your digital signature. This DID acts as evidence of your online identity and plays a crucial role in verifying your digital signature.
    • Password: Used exclusively to verify your login credentials and cannot be accessed or seen by anyone. It is securely stored as a hashed and salted value, utilizing the cryptographic key derivation function (“scrypt”) encryption method. This ensures the data remains both protected and unrecoverable.
    • Profile Picture Link/Avatar: This is a URL to an image used to personalize your account. By default, images are pulled from services like Gravatar or your social network account, and the links are publicly visible.
    • Public Key: Associated with your DID, it serves to validate the authenticity of your digital signature whenever you sign confirmations, documents, tokens or transactions.

  2. Subscription Data: When you subscribe or make a payment, we collect your real name, billing address, and payment verification data. This data is protected using AES-256 encryption, ensuring that only you and authorized support personnel have access to it. My Joy Pin may decrypt this information strictly to manage tasks such as subscription renewals and payments, including conducting secure data exchanges with authorized payment gateways. Please note that we only receive payment verification details and do not collect any other payment-related information. This personal data is processed exclusively for contractual purposes.

  3. Transactional Data: Information about your purchases, including subscription type, payment details, price, and transaction date.

  4. Communication History: When you communicate with MYJOYPIN via email or the Website, we gather personal data tied to your correspondence along with any additional information you voluntarily provide. This data is processed to fulfill contractual obligations and offer support. Our email service utilizes Microsoft 365, a secure cloud-based solution provided by Microsoft, ensuring the safety of our correspondence through its robust security protocols.

  5. Cookies: Authorization tokens, session IDs, and user preferences may be stored in cookies or browser local storage for personalization and easier access to the Service. These data are kept only during your active session on the Website and are automatically erased when you log off, based on your choices in the consent dialog and the “Remember Me” option.

  6. Log Data: Information such as timestamps, session IDs, User IDs, and IP addresses is gathered to ensure the security of the Service, safeguard user access, and prevent fraudulent activities. Additionally, changes made to your account, space, and subscription — along with details like modified data and the time of updates — are logged. This information is utilized to uphold and enhance the safety and reliability of the Service.

All data is stored securely in a data center in Frankfurt, Germany (EU) and retained only for as long as necessary, as explained in the Data Retention section.

You can view the information we have about you by accessing your user profile page or downloading your personal data snapshot. Alternatively, you may request this information via email. We do not knowingly collect or track any additional personal information beyond what is specified above. Specifically, we do not monitor your user agent or behavior on the site.

Furthermore, we do not sell personal information under any circumstances.

Use of Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies are small data files stored on your device, often used as unique anonymous identifiers. Local storage is a browser-based storage solution used for similar purposes.

We use local storage and cookies to store your access token, preferences, avatar and username. Some features require these elements to function and will request your permission before being activated. Note that third-party login providers may use tracking cookies; we recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.

These third parties may have access to your Personal Information, but strictly limited to what is necessary for the tasks they are assigned on our behalf. All such parties are bound by confidentiality agreements and are explicitly prohibited from using or disclosing your data for any purposes beyond their designated responsibilities.

Our Service may include links to external websites. By clicking on a third-party link, you will be redirected to their site.

We strongly encourage you to review the Privacy Policy of these sites, as we cannot take responsibility for their content, privacy practices, or any services they provide.

Public Network Notice

Your Content, Your Responsibility: Anything you upload, pin, or share belongs to you, not MYJOYPIN. We only host it at your direction. MYJOYPIN does not monitor or control your content, and you’re solely accountable for it.

Public Nature: The Service operates on a global, public network. Content uploaded may become publicly available and widely distributed. Please avoid uploading sensitive or private information.

Content Removal Limitations: Once shared, it might be impossible to fully remove content from the network, as others outside MYJOYPIN’s control may have already republished it.

Data Safety Advice: If data security is important, consider encrypting your content before uploading. For better privacy, using a private IPFS network might be a better option.

Security and Data Breaches

We are committed to protecting your data through advanced security measures and deeply value the trust you place in us by sharing your Personal Information. Although we employ industry-standard protocols to secure your data, it’s important to recognize that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can ensure absolute security. Consequently, we cannot guarantee the total safety of your information.

Should a data breach occur, we will notify you and the appropriate supervisory authorities within 72 hours, as mandated by the GDPR. To ensure timely communication, please make sure an email address is registered as a designated channel to receive such notifications.
