Privacy policy

This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

What the forms collect

Newsletter. Your email address and, if you choose, your first name.

Nominate an installer. Your name and email, whether you are nominating yourself, and the details you give us about the installer: name, company, Instagram, website, city, state, the floor systems they install, and why they should be featured.

Contact. Your name, email and message.

Form submissions are sent to us by email through Resend, our email provider. We use this information only to run the newsletter, consider nominations and reply to messages. We do not sell it or share it with advertisers.

Spam protection

Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a real person is submitting them. Turnstile may process technical information about your browser and connection to do this.

The newsletter

We use double opt in. After you sign up, we send you an email with a confirmation link, and you are only added to the list once you click it. Unconfirmed signups expire after 48 hours.

Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it and you are removed from the list straight away.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand which stories people read. It does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites. We may also use Google Analytics, which does use cookies.

We count some clicks, such as clicks on an installer’s website link, so we can show featured installers how many readers visited them. These counts are not tied to your identity.

Videos

Interview videos are hosted on our own media server, not embedded from Instagram, so watching a video on JDC does not send your data to Instagram. If you click “Watch on Instagram”, Instagram’s own privacy policy applies.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email. To ask us what information we hold about you, or to have it deleted, use the contact page.
