We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This GDPR Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data, and explains your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data Collection
We collect personal data to provide you with the best possible experience on our website. The types of data we collect include:
- Name
- Email Address
- IP Address
- Cookies
This data is collected when you create an account on website or through cookies that help us understand how you use our site.
Data Usage
The data we collect is used for the following purposes:
- Account Management: To create and manage your account, allowing you to post, upvote, and downvote jokes, and participate in our community.
- Newsletters: To send you newsletters and updates if you have opted in to receive them.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish a joke, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the joke you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Data Sharing
We do not share your personal data with third parties, except for the plugins installed on our website that are necessary for its functionality. We ensure that these plugins comply with data protection standards.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.
We retain your personal data indefinitely to provide continuous service and maintain your account. If you wish to have your data deleted, please contact us.
User Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Delete: You can delete your account, which will remove your personal data from our systems. For complete data deletion, you can contact us at connect@funnyjokegenerator[dot]com.
- Access: You can access your personal data through your account.
- Edit: You can edit your personal data through your account settings.
