1. Introduction
Welcome to {{Funny-Jokes}}. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can exercise your rights especially if you are located in the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA).
2. Data we collect
- Information you provide: emails, contact form messages, newsletter sign-ups, comments.
- Automatically collected: IP address, device type, browser, pages visited, referrer, and timestamps.
- Cookies & tracking: cookies, local storage identifiers, and analytics identifiers.
- Third-party content: when you interact with embedded media (YouTube, TikTok) or social widgets those platforms may collect data under their own policies.
3. Legal basis for processing (EEA/UK)
- Consent — for marketing and non-essential cookies.
- Contractual necessity — to provide services you request (newsletter delivery, comment posting).
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the site, subject to balancing tests.
4. How we use your data
We use personal data to:
- Respond to messages and requests.
- Provide and maintain the website.
- Improve user experience and site analytics.
- Send newsletters if you opt-in.
We do not sell personal data to third parties.
5. Cookies & similar technologies
See our separate Cookie Policy for full details. For EU/UK visitors we show a consent banner and ask for permission before enabling non-essential cookies.
6. Third-party services
We may use third-party services such as hosting providers, analytics (Google Analytics or Matomo), and email services. These providers have their own privacy practices and may process data outside the EEA — we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where needed.
7. Data retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated (for example: comments remain until you delete them or request removal; analytics data may be retained for up to 26 months by default).
8. Your rights (applicable to EEA/UK residents)
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion.
- Restrict or object to processing.
- Request data portability.
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).
To exercise these rights contact: {{CONTACT_US}}. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
9. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy. We will publish the revised version with a new “Last updated” date.
