Embedded content from other websites
On our website, we may have a few links to other sites; that’s just part of operating on the web. As such, Dingo Jazz isn’t responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other web sites. We work hard to ensure all our links are for trusted and safe websites.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
