Sharing & third parties

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as needed to operate the platform, such as:

• Legal, safety, or security reasons (e.g., to comply with law or respond to valid legal requests).
• With your direction or consent (for example, when you post public content).

Cookies & similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure product usage at a high level. You can control cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work without them.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

How long we keep data

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service and for legitimate business or legal purposes (e.g., security, moderation, or audit requirements). We delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.

Your choices & rights

• Request deletion of your account or content (subject to legal or safety exceptions).
• Opt out of non-essential messages by adjusting your preferences.

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights (e.g., to object or restrict processing). To make a request, contact us via Feedback.

Children

BuildJamaica is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.

International transfers

We may store or process information on servers located outside your country. By using the service, you consent to transfers in accordance with this policy and applicable law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
