Privacy Policy

1. Principles of Privacy Protection

At JoinYono.com, we respect your fundamental right to privacy. As an informational directory, we operate under a strict privacy-by-design model. We do not sell user data, license browsing profiles to data brokers, or use aggressive behavioral trackers.

2. Data Collection and First-Party Analytics

To understand overall site traffic and maintain server health, we collect minimal first-party usage events (such as page views, searches, and outbound link clicks).

Crucially, we do not store raw IP addresses in our databases. All IP addresses are salted with a rotating daily key and cryptographically hashed using one-way SHA-256 encryption. This enables aggregated daily visitor counts without ever persisting personal identifiers.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use strictly necessary session cookies for administrative authentication and CSRF token validation. We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels on general visitor traffic.

4. External Outbound Links

Our directory contains links to verified official stores (such as Google Play and the Apple App Store) and publisher portals. When you click an outbound link, you are directed to an external service governed by that third party's independent privacy policy. We encourage users to inspect third-party terms prior to downloading.

5. Your Rights and Contact

Under applicable data protection guidelines, you have the right to request information on any data held or submit correction inquiries. Please reach out through our Contact Desk.
