Privacy policy

This policy explains how JokeScout handles personal information when you use our website.

Information we collect

You can browse JokeScout without creating an account. If you register, we receive your email address and account information from your chosen sign-in provider. We also keep the moments you save, comments you vote for, content you hide and preferences associated with your account.

For signed-in visitors, we collect limited activity information, such as interactions with content and time spent viewing it. Our hosting and service providers may process technical information, including IP addresses and browser information, to deliver and secure the website.

How we use information

We use this information to manage accounts, remember your choices, personalise your experience, improve the service and help prevent misuse.

Public content

JokeScout displays content from public sources. This may include comments, public usernames and engagement counts. Public availability does not remove a person's privacy rights.

Service providers

We use service providers for hosting, account access, data storage and content analysis. They process information needed for those services. Public comment text and its associated post title may be processed by an AI service for content analysis.

Information may also be disclosed where necessary to comply with applicable law, protect rights or respond to security threats.

Third-party media and links

Videos, images and other embedded content may connect directly to the platforms that host them. Those platforms may receive technical information and use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies. Links to other websites are governed by those websites' policies.

Browser storage

JokeScout uses browser storage to maintain sign-in sessions. Clearing it may sign you out. Third-party media providers may use their own browser storage.

Retention and security

We retain account information and saved choices to provide the service. Retention may also depend on security, operational and legal needs. We use access controls to protect information, but no online service can guarantee complete security.

Your choices and rights

You can browse without an account and change your saved moments and comment votes. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information, subject to applicable law.

Children

JokeScout is not intended for children under 16.

Policy updates

We may update this policy as the service changes. The date above identifies the latest revision.
