This Privacy Policy covers JRNLclub. We provide online scientific research video hosting, sharing and related services through our owned-and-operated website, https://jrnlclub.org/ ( the “Service”).

By using the Service, You accept this Privacy Policy, which is part of our Terms of Service. We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post archived versions of our Privacy Policy on this site. If we change the Privacy Policy in a way that materially lessens our commitments to You, we will promptly provide notice to users on our website.

2. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals who are under the minimum required ages specified herein. You must be at least 16 years old or the age of majority in Your jurisdiction, whichever is greater, to use the Service. Individuals under the applicable age may use the Service only with their parent or legal guardian's supervision. If You are a parent or legal guardian who believes Your child has provided personal information to JRNLclub without Your consent, You may ask us to delete such information by contacting us at contact@jrnlclub.org.

3. Data We Collect About You

We collect information about You when You use the Service. Your Collected information may include or reflect personal information that could identify You, as well as non-personal information. We refer to Your information as "Your Data" for short.

Content
You may upload scientific research videos, as well as related content such as audio, graphics, photos, text, branding (including trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos), and interactive features. Scientific research videos that You upload will be published with Your real name, the institutions where You work and title of the paper on which the scientific research video is based. Your videos may be viewed and otherwise accessed by others, and associated metadata (e.g. real name, institution, paper title) may be viewable by others. Your interactions with other users (e.g., comments ) may be seen by others.

Other Information You May Submit
You may submit data to us for limited purposes such as, for example: requesting customer support; answering a questionnaire; participating in a study; or signing up to receive communications from us or another user.

Automatically-Collected Information
We automatically collect certain types of data when You use the Service. This data includes Your IP address, time of access, technical information about Your device (e.g., browser type, operating system, basic device information), the web page You visited or the search query You entered before reaching us, and Your activities.

Information Collected by Third Parties
Some third parties (such as web browsers) may collect data about You when You use the Service. This may include data You submit or automatically-collected information. We have no control over these third parties.

4. How We Use Your Data

We may use Your Data for the following purposes:

• Operating the Service: We use Your Data to provide the Service, provide customer support, and to otherwise comply with our contractual obligations to You.
• Communicating with You: We use Your Data when we communicate with You (e.g., when we respond to a customer support or other inquiry).
• Improving the Service: We use Your Data to understand how the Services are being used and how we can improve them. In general, we analyze aggregated data, rather than specific user data. We may, however, need to analyze a specific case to address a specific problem.
• Exercising our rights: Where reasonably necessary, we use Your Data to exercise our legal rights and prevent abuse of our service. For example, we may use Your Data to detect and prevent fraud, spam, or content that violates our Terms of Service.
• Legal compliance: We use Your Data where we are legally required to do so. For example, we may need to gather Your Data to respond to a subpoena or court order.
• Protecting Your information: Where appropriate, we may anonymize, backup, and delete certain data.
  

We may use algorithms and other automated means to implement any of the above.

Whenever we process Your Data for one of these purposes, we have determined that one or more of the following lawful bases apply:

• Performance of a contract;
• Legitimate commercial interest;
• Compliance with a legal obligation; or
• Consent.

5. With Whom We Share Your Data

We share data with third parties as follows:

• As You instruct: We may make Your profile and videos available to others as You instruct in using the Service.
• With Your consent: We may share Your Data with third parties where we have obtained Your express consent to do so.
• Affiliates and advisors: We may share Your Data with our auditors and advisors for planning, financial reporting, accounting, auditing, tax filings, and legal compliance.
• Certain legal situations: We may share Your Data where we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or in connection with a corporate transaction as discussed in Section 6.
• Aggregated or anonymized information: We may publicly disclose non-personal aggregated or anonymized information such as our number of visitors.

6. Legal and Safety-Related Disclosures

We may disclose Your Data in response to official requests (e.g., court orders, subpoenas, search warrants, national security requests, etc.) ("Requests") that we receive from government authorities or parties to legal proceedings.

We handle United States Requests in accordance with United States law. If the Request originates from a foreign jurisdiction, we may typically disclose information where we in good faith believe that disclosure is permitted by both United States law and local law. In all cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us, in our sole discretion.

We may disclose user data in situations involving legal claims against us or one of our users. If You submit a Digital Millennium Copyright Act or other takedown notice, we may share that notice with the affected user. If You challenge such a notice, we may share Your response with the complainant.

We may share Your Data with potential transaction partners, advisors, and others in the event our company is, in whole or part, acquired by a third party. In such case, we will use reasonable efforts to require the acquiring entity to comply with this Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention

We may retain the data You submitted to us, including for example videos, email address, Your real name, the institutions where You and the other authors conducted your research, and title of the paper on which the scientific research video is based.

We may retain deleted videos on our servers for a short period of time. Once we delete a video, we may not be able to recover it. If You have previously made a video public, the video or its thumbnail may be discoverable in a search engine's cache for a time. We have no control over search engines; however, we will, upon your request, send a request for deletion to certain search engines mentioned in the request.

If we receive legal process pertaining to Your Data, we will retain Your Data for as long as we in good faith believe is necessary to comply with the legal process. Similarly, if we believe that there may be wrongdoing with respect to any data, we may preserve that data and any related data to defend or assert our rights.

8. Communications from Us

If You provide email for purpose of receiving newsletters of latest videos, You may receive commercial emails from us (e.g. newsletters of latest videos).

9. Protecting Your Information

We take measures to safeguard Your Data from unauthorized or accidental disclosure. Despite our efforts, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of Your Data or your information.

10. Your Responsibilities

You may receive other people's data in using our service. If You receive information from other users, You must comply with all laws, including those concerning privacy, data security, and online marketing.

11. International Data Transfers and Certain User Rights

11.1 Location of Data

JRNLclub is based in the United States. We provide services globally using computer systems, servers, and databases located in the U.S.. When You use the Service from outside of the U.S., Your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S..

11.2 GDPR (EEA Users)

This Section 11.2 applies only to natural persons residing in the European Economic Area (for the purpose of this section only, "You" or "Your" shall be limited accordingly). It is JRNLclub's Privacy Policy to comply with the EEA's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In accordance with the GDPR, we may transfer Your personal information from Your home country to the U.S. based upon the following legal bases:

We enable exercise of these rights primarily through the Service (which we reserve the right to modify). For example, we may allow users to change their information, and download their videos. We also fulfil our obligations in response to direct requests. We will endeavor to process requests within one month. Please note that we may not be able to comply with requests to the extent that they would cause us to violate any law or infringe any other person's rights. We reserve the right to request appropriate identification. We will process requests free of charge unless they would impose an unreasonable cost on us.

JRNLclub is hosted on the Squarespace platform. JRNLclub’s ability to provide the option regarding cookies and to respond to requests for information about, or changes to, Your data may be limited by its relationship with Squarespace. JRNLclub has no control over Squarespace and is not liable for Squarespace's action or inaction.

11.3 Privacy Shield (EEA, UK and Swiss Users)

This Section 11.3 applies only to natural persons residing in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland (for the purpose of this section only, "You" or "Your" shall be limited accordingly).

Such arbitration will be binding upon You and JRNLclub.

11.4 California Users

Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents have the right to opt out of disclosing information to third parties for the purpose of allowing such third parties to directly market their products and services. At this time, we do not engage in this type of disclosure.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California consumers have the following rights, which can be exercised directly or in certain cases, through an authorized agent:

• Right to Know. You have the right to request information about the categories and sources of personal information we collect, our purposes for collecting the information, and the types of third parties that receive that information. Details about our data collection, use and third-party disclosures can be found at the bottom of this page. In addition, You have the right to request a copy of Your personal information. You may exercise this right once per 12-month period by contacting us at contact@jrnlclub.org.
• Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete some or all of the personal information that we have about You. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may retain information to prevent fraud, spam, and other abuse, comply with our legal obligations, maintain a disaster recovery backup of data, cooperate with law enforcement, and to exercise and defend our rights. You may exercise Your right to delete by contacting us at contact@jrnlclub.org.
• Do Not Sell. You have the right to opt out of the sale of Your personal information, and to request information about whether we have sold Your personal information in the past 12 months.

• Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against You because You exercise any rights herein.

To exercise Your rights to know and to delete, we must be able to verify Your identity as the user who submitted certain content. We may not be able to fulfill Your request until we can do so.

11.5 Nevada Users

Nevada residents have the right to opt out of the sale of certain "covered information" collected by operators of websites or online services. We currently do not sell covered information, as "sale" is defined by such law, and we do not have plans to sell this information. However, if You would like to be notified if we decide in the future to sell personal information covered by the Act, You can provide us with Your name and email address by contacting us at contact@jrnlclub.org.

You are responsible for updating any change in Your email address by the same method and we are not obligated to cross-reference other emails You may have otherwise provided us for other purposes. We will maintain this information and contact You if our plans change. At that time, we will create a process for verifying Your identity and providing an opportunity to verified consumers to complete their opt-out. Please become familiar with our data practices as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may share Your Data as explained in this Privacy Policy, such as to enhance Your experiences and the Service, and those activities will be unaffected by a Nevada “do not sell” request.
