San Jamar respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website at https://sanjamar.org/.
Information We Collect
- Comments: When you leave comments on our website, we collect the information you provide in the comment form (name, comment itself), along with your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address may be used to check if you’re using the Gravatar service for your profile picture (see Gravatar’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/). Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public.
- Media: We recommend avoiding uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to our website. Visitors can download and extract this data from images on the site.
- Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies expire after one year. We also use cookies to remember your login information and screen display preferences when you log in. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for a year. Choosing “Remember Me” at login keeps you logged in for two weeks. Login cookies are removed when you log out. Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie that only contains the post ID and expires after one day.

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties except as required by law or for spam detection purposes (e.g., Gravatar service).
Embedded Content
Articles on our site may include embedded content from other websites (videos, social media posts, etc.). These behave as if you visited those websites directly. They may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
