At The Jest Press, we believe privacy is no joke — even if everything else we write usually is. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.
Who We Are
The Jest Press ("we," "us," or "our") is the proud publisher of satire you can believe in (mostly). This Privacy Policy covers our website, newsletter, comment features, and any other services we offer (collectively, the "Services"). By using any of them, you agree to this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect various information to keep the comedy rolling (and the site running smoothly):
- Personal Information — what you voluntarily provide (e.g., email when subscribing, username for comments).
- Technical & Usage Data — browser info, IP address, pages viewed, time spent, device used.
- Cookies — to remember your preferences and help tailor your experience (and to keep the coffee machine logs anonymous).
We do not collect special-sensitive data like race, religion, health or genetic info.
How We Use Your Info
We use it to:
- Send you our newsletter (only if you signed up).
- Moderate comments and cut down on trolling (we hate that too).
- Improve site functionality and humor delivery.
- Defend against spam and abuse.
We do not sell your info. Ever.
Third-Party Services
We may use trusted partners like analytics tools, newsletter providers, or ad platforms to help run the show. They may use cookies or tracking tech too. It's their business, not ours — please review their policies.
Data Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you might have rights like:
- Accessing or correcting your info
- Deleting your info
- Withdrawing consent for processing
Just drop us a line a contact@thejestpress.com and we'll help — unless it's your uncle trying to remove that typo-laced comment, then you're on your own.
Security
We do our best to protect your data, but like any website, it's never foolproof. Hackers, bots, and rogue raccoons exist.
Children
Our site is aimed at adults and satire-savvy folks. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you think one of those sneaky teens signed up with your email, point them here.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy whenever we feel like it — and if we do, we'll update the date and post the changes here. Consider your continued use of the site as consent.
