Introduction
JDSAMS.COM takes your right to privacy seriously, and wants you to feel comfortable using this web site. This privacy policy deals with
personally-identifiable information (referred to as "data" below) that may be collected by this site. This policy does not apply to other entities that are not
owned or controlled by JDSAMS.COM, nor to persons that are not employees or agents of JDSAMS.COM, or that are not under the control of
JDSAMS.COM.
Collection of data
Registration of a user account on this site requires only a valid e-mail address and a user name that has not been used already. You are not required to
provide any other information if do not want to. Please be aware that the user name you choose, the e-mail address you provide and other information
you provide may render you personally identifiable, and may possibly be displayed on this web site intentionally (depending on choices you make during
the registration process, or on the way in which the site is configured) or unintentionally (such as, but not limited to, subsequent to a successful act of
intrusion by a third party). As on many web sites, the site editor may also automatically receive general information that is contained in server log files,
such as your IP address, and cookie information. Information about how advertising may be served on this site (if it is the site editor's policy to display
advertising) is set forth below.
Use of data
Data may be used to customize and improve your user experience on this site. Efforts will be made to prevent your data being made available to third
parties unless (ID 1033 0 1) provided for otherwise in this Privacy Policy; (ii) your consent is obtained, such as when you choose to opt-in or opt-out for
the sharing of data; (iii) a service provided on our site requires interaction a third party with or is provided by a third party, such as an application service
provider; (iv) pursuant to legal action or law enforcement; (v) it is found that your use of this site violates this policy, terms of service, or other usage

by a third party, in which case that third party will be able to use the data in the same manner as set forth in this Policy. In the event you choose to use

Cookies
This web site uses cookies to enhance your user experience, such as retaining your personal settings. Advertisements may appear on this web site and,
if so, may set and access cookies on your computer; such cookies are subject to the privacy policy of the parties providing the advertisement. However,
the parties serving the advertising do not have access to this site's cookies. These parties usually use non-personally-identifiable or anonymous codes
to obtain information about your visits to this site.
***Minors***
This site allows children under the age of 13 to access and register on this site. This site complies with the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA) of 1988. Although this site is not required to, we feel it a necessary step to ensure the safety of all our visitors, including children. This site
collects information that a parent or guardian has first approved. No account can be registered without this approval.
We knowingly collect personal data from children. We take specific steps to protect the privacy of children by: making reasonable efforts to ensure that a
parent has authorized the collection of the child's personal data and use of the child's personal data for the disclosure to third parties. This site actively
gives parents the option to consent to the collection and use of the child's personal data for our internal use and use of the child's personal data for the
disclosure to third parties. (***Note*** This site will not intentionally provide any information about children to third parties, period.) Additionally, to ensure
that children's privacy is respected on our Web site, we work closely with parents and guardians. We do provide information about our personal data
practices in relation to children on our home page and wherever we knowingly collect personal data from children on our Web site.
COPPA concerns should be directed to coppa@jdsams.com
Editing or deleting your account information
This site provides you with the ability to edit the information in your user account that you provided to during the registration process, by visiting your
profile on the forum. You may request deletion of your user account by contacting the webmaster. Content or other information that you may have
provided, and that is not contained within your user account, such as posts that may appear within site forums, may continue to remain on the site at the
site editor's discretion, even though your user account is deleted.
Changes to this privacy policy
Changes may be made to this policy from time to time. You will be notified of substantial changes to this policy either by through the posting of a
prominent announcement on the site, and/or by a message being sent to the e-mail address you have provided, which is contained in your user settings.
NO GUARANTEES
While this privacy policy states standards for maintenance of data, and while efforts will be made to meet the said standards, the site editor is not in a
position to guarantee compliance with these standards. There may be factors beyond the site editor's control that may result in disclosure of data.
Consequently, the site editor offers no warranties or representations as regards maintenance or nondisclosure of data.

We have no control over the privacy of web sites that are not our own, which might be linked to from this web site. We reference other web sites that you
may wish to visit, but be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply beyond this site.
Retention and Destruction of Personal Information
We need to retain personal information for some time to ensure that we can answer any questions you might have about the services provided and for
our own accountability to external regulatory bodies. We do not want to keep personal information too long, in order to protect your privacy. We keep
our user files for about 10 years. [Note: We are required to keep files for at least 10 years past the date of last contact for adults and for child users, 10
years past the date at which they would turn 18years of age.] However, should you ask that we destroy your information immediately, we will do so to the
best of our abilities, with the exception of child user information. That must be kept on file to show compliance with COPPA.
You Can Look at Your Information
With only a few exceptions, you have the right to see what personal information we hold about you. Often all you have to do is ask. We can help you
identify what records we might have about you. We will also try to help you understand any information you do not understand (e.g., short forms,
technical language, etc.). We will need to confirm your identity, if we do not know you, before providing you with this access. We reserve the right to
charge a nominal fee for such requests.
If there is a problem, we may ask you to put your request in writing. If we cannot give you access, we will tell you within 30 days if at all possible and tell
you the reason, as best we can, as to why we cannot give you access.
If you believe there is a mistake in the information, you have the right to ask for it to be corrected. This applies to factual information and not to any
professional opinions we may have formed. We may ask you to provide documentation that our files are wrong. Where we agree that we made a
mistake, we will make the correction and, where appropriate, notify anyone to whom we sent this information. If we do not agree that we have made a
mistake, we will agree to include in our file a brief statement from you on the point and, as appropriate, we will forward that statement to anyone else who
received the earlier information.
