Analytics and service providers
The Java Lounge may use third-party services to provide website hosting, email delivery, analytics, forms, affiliate tracking, security, and related business functions.
These providers may process information as needed to perform their services and operate under their own privacy policies and terms.
The website is currently hosted and managed using Systeme.io. Additional tools or providers may be added as the website develops.
Affiliate links and third-party merchants
Affiliate links may contain tracking information that allows a merchant or affiliate network to determine that you arrived through The Java Lounge.
When you follow an affiliate link, the third-party website may collect information according to its own privacy policy. The Java Lounge does not control how a third-party merchant collects or processes your information.
Purchases
When you purchase a product directly from an outside retailer or merchant, that company processes your payment and order information according to its own terms and privacy policy.
The Java Lounge does not receive or store your complete payment-card information for purchases completed on a third-party website.
This section should be revised if The Java Lounge later begins processing payments directly through its own checkout.

Website hosting.
Email delivery.
Analytics.
Form processing.
Security.
Affiliate tracking.
Technical support.
Legal or regulatory compliance.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, in response to a valid legal request, to protect legal rights, or to investigate suspected fraud or misuse.
Data retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the website.
You may request deletion of personal information you previously submitted, subject to legal, security, and recordkeeping requirements.
Data security
Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information. However, no online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Avoid submitting confidential or sensitive information through ordinary email or general website forms.
Children’s privacy
The Java Lounge is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 18.
We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, removed.
Websites directed to children under 13, or that knowingly collect their personal information, can be subject to additional COPPA requirements.
