This document explains how the Johari Window service works with your data, cookies, and permissions. We use simple language to show what information is collected, how it is used, and what choices you have.

Last updated: September 7, 2025

What Data We Collect

Information you provide

  • details you type in when using the service
  • traits and feedback you share in Johari Window exercises
  • messages or questions you send us

Information collected automatically

  • browser and device type
  • pages visited and buttons clicked
  • date and time of visits
  • cookies or local storage identifiers

We keep only the data needed for the Johari Window to work.

Why We Use Data

Main purposes

  • to provide access to the Johari Window tools
  • to remember your settings and keep sessions active
  • to improve usability and performance
  • to prepare simple statistics about service use
  • to answer requests from users

Principles

  • clear goals for each use
  • minimal data by default
  • no processing unrelated to the original purpose
  • limited storage with regular review

Cookies and Similar Technologies

What cookies are

Cookies are small files saved on your browser. They help the service run smoothly and remember your choices.

Types of cookies

  • Necessary cookies – needed for login, navigation, and security
  • Preference cookies – save language or layout options
  • Analytics cookies – show how users interact with the service

Your choices

When you visit for the first time, you can accept or manage cookies. You can also delete them in your browser settings. Essential cookies cannot be turned off because they are required for the service to function.

Permissions in the Service

What permissions mean

Some functions may ask for limited access, for example:

  • storing information locally in your browser
  • generating and sharing a Johari Window link

We request only the minimum access needed for a feature to work.

How to control permissions

Permissions can be managed in your browser at any time. Turning off a permission may disable a specific feature, but the rest of the service will still work.

Sharing and Third Parties

When sharing may happen

We may use trusted providers for hosting, email delivery, or analytics. They process data only on our behalf and must protect it. Personal data is never sold.

The service may link to other websites. Their own privacy rules apply when you visit them.

Data Security and Retention

How we protect data

We use technical and organizational steps such as:

  • encryption during transfer
  • limited access for authorized staff only
  • monitoring and system updates

How long we store data

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above. After that, data is deleted or anonymized.

Your Rights

You can

  • request access to your data
  • correct incomplete or incorrect data
  • ask for deletion if the data is no longer needed
  • limit or object to certain processing
  • withdraw consent for optional features

We will respond within a reasonable time and explain what actions are possible.

Updates to This Policy

We may change this page when features or rules are updated. If changes are important, we will highlight them in the service. The new version takes effect from the date it is published.
