Preamble
Welcome to Jappy!
We are delighted at your interest. Jappy, existing since 2001, is a free internet-community. Each user can sign up itself under a pseudonym (nickname) and can get to know new and interesting people, meet old friends, create your personal profile and exchange with other members on our website. To put it briefly: Jappy serves for the communication and self-expression to you and your friends.
All domains and services are absolutely for free for you as a user!
Since the protection of your privacy is hugely important to us, we now like to inform you detailed how to deal with your data at Jappy, as follows. Among others Jappy can be used under the URL jappy.de, jappy.com, jappy.ch, jappy.at, jappy.net, jappy.ag, or jappy.tv and is conducted by Jappy GmbH. Jappy is always liable to the strict German Data Privacy Acts.

Collecting, processing and using your data
Certainly it is possible for you to visit our website without giving any personal information. At first we simply save log-in details without personal references, which do not admit conclusion apropos your person. Data storage is only be effected to improve our services, as the storage of your Internet Service Provider or the name of a requested file.

It is only possible to get around to the collection of personal data if they are quoted within the registration. The registration is thereby effected anonymized under a pseudonym. E-mail address, password, security issue, date of birth, gender, country and the zip code are to be indicated at the login.
This acts for authentication and youth protection. The declaration of age and domicile serves on the one hand as a selective contact to a similar user age group in the vicinity and on the other hand for youth protection. Registration of persons under the age of 14 shall be prevented. Furthermore a deactivatable contact filter, to prevent people from another age group contacting you, contrary to one´s wish, is given. In addition the following personal data are used among others, if stated by yourself: relationship status, education/profession, attended schools and colleges, interests and outward characteristics.

Your communicated data are exclusively used for the purpose of winding up the contractual relationship with the company, without your separate acceptance. It will ease to contact you specifically by other registered members with similar interests, if you indicate your interests etc. Hence, these information promote communication with other users. Thereby you are able to enlarge your connections specifically. Your profile data can be changed optionally, except for age and gender. They act as (including your photos and your nickname) communication with other users.

Beyond your pseudonym, you can also quote your true name. You decide at any time yourself on the settings in the privacy sphere, the access of your name in the profile or in the friends list, for instance, and if your profile shall be located by searching with your true name.

The advantages of quoting your true name are including, that finding you is easier for friends and that an improved protection of fake profiles will be developed. A disadvantage among others is, that a part of anonymity could get lost. Your true name can not be changed optionally.

Saving IP-addresses and data transfer to third parties
To prevent misuse of our service, the IP-addresses of the user are registered for safety and monitoring purposes. Without such saving we could not act sufficiently contrary to the creation of faker-profiles, circulation of spam, flooding, phishing or viruses.
