If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.

3.6 With Your Consent

We may share information with third parties when you explicitly consent to such sharing.

3.7 Aggregated or Anonymized Data

We may share aggregated or anonymized data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you for research, analytics, or other purposes.

4.1 Authentication Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication:

These cookies are HTTP-only, secure, and use same-site strict policy. They are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled.

4.2 Analytics on the JellyMachine Platform

On the JellyMachine platform itself (jellymachine.com) we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Meta (Facebook) Pixel to measure how the platform is used. These tools are loaded only after you grant analytics consent through the cookie consent banner (Consent Mode v2 default-deny). We have disabled Google Signals and ad personalization in our GA4 property, and IP addresses are anonymized in transit. When consent is granted, the following may be collected:

• GA4 cookies (e.g., _ga, _ga_*) — 13-month expiry
• Meta Pixel cookies (e.g., _fbp) — 90-day expiry
• Truncated IP address, device type, browser, OS, viewport
• Page path, referrer, UTM parameters, timestamps
• Custom events (sign-up, login, site_created, site_published, subscription_started, etc.)

You can decline analytics at any time through the cookie banner or your browser settings. Declining or withdrawing consent immediately deactivates these scripts. You may also opt out of GA4 specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.3 Optional Analytics on Customer Websites

If you (as a JellyMachine customer) enable analytics on websites you build, the following data may be collected from your visitors. This data flows through our infrastructure to you and, if you provide a GA4 Measurement ID, to Google:

• Session identifiers
• Visitor identifiers (for returning visitor tracking)
• Pageviews (path, referrer, timestamp)
• Sessions (duration, page count, landing page)
• Device information (type, OS, browser)
• Geographic data (country, region — derived from CDN headers)
• Viewport/screen dimensions
• UTM parameters
• Scroll depth
• Custom events

4.4 Your Responsibility for Visitor Tracking

If you enable analytics or tracking on your websites, you are responsible for:

• Disclosing this in your own privacy policy
• Obtaining any required consents from your visitors
• Complying with applicable privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)

4.5 Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We do not respond to legacy "Do Not Track" browser signals because there is no industry consensus on their meaning. However, in accordance with the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), we do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. When your browser transmits a GPC signal (either via the Sec-GPC: 1 HTTP header or the navigator.globalPrivacyControl JavaScript property), we treat it as a binding opt-out of sale and sharing of personal information for analytics and advertising purposes. Analytics scripts (GA4, Meta Pixel) will not load for that browser session and no analytics cookies are set.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings or revoke analytics consent at any time using the cookie preferences link in our site footer.

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
