Privacy Policy
The following disclosure is intended to make clear to our visitors exactly how any personal information you provide may be dealt with around this website.
Although it is our own policy to never share or sell your information for any reason, we do partner with 3rd party websites to provide some of the services you experience, so our goal here is to be as open as possible to ensure that everyone is comfortable with how these relationships may affect you and your personal data.
Website Comments & Community Forums
Your name, e-mail address, and website (if provided) are collected with any comments or forum posts left on our website – the name and any website given will be made publicly available alongside your comment. Your e-mail address will not be shared publicly, but may be used to correspond privately with you regarding your comment.
All comments are submitted to Automattic’s Akismet service for spam filtering – their own privacy policy can be found here (link).
Posting a comment does not count as consent to receive other marketing communications – any such newsletters or other announcements will require separate consent which would be solicited only via a dedicated, double opt-in page.
Any other personal information provided as part of a user profile for these services is completely optional and may be removed by the user at any time.
Mailing Lists
Names and e-mail addresses acquired by means of any list will remain strictly confidential and never be sold, bartered or otherwise distributed to any third-parties for any reason, though we do reserve the right to use third party services to help distribute these messages as long as their own privacy policy aligns with what we have described here.
As mentioned above, all e-mail distribution lists operated by Just Laugh Productions are double opt-in lists and can be unsubscribed from either via a link at the bottom of any message or by visiting the corresponding area of our website at any time.
Tracking
We use industry standard, 3rd party logging software to collect anonymous statistics about your visit to our website to help us better understand which regions of the world our readers come from, which pages they read the most, and so forth. This data is collected by means of tracking cookies that are placed on your device, however please note that no data that is captured and provided back to us can be traced back to any single user.
Advertising
A number of 3rd party advertisers supply the ads viewed throughout our website, and some of them may collect data regarding the websites that you browse to provide more relevant ads that you’re more likely to enjoy. In no case is this data ever shared with us – they simply analyze it on a case by case basis before serving the ads you see around our website.
Product Orders
In the event that you order merchandise through our website, obviously we need to collect certain information from you in order to fulfill those orders. The following 3rd party companies are currently utilized to help facilitate these orders – please see the provided links for more specific details to their own actions, however know that we will only use your information to process your order and will not contact you for any other reason unless you consent to this in advance.
If an order for one of our products is placed directly through another website (i.e. amazon.com, iTunes bookstore, etc…), no personal information whatsoever is provided to us, so please see those individual companies for any concerns.
External Links
This is 2012. Our website contains many links to other websites – that’s kinda how the Internet works! We don’t even know why we have to include this one anymore! Any websites you visit via a link from Just Laugh may have privacy policies that differ from ours, or they may not even have one at all, and Just Laugh Productions cannot be held responsible for practices by any websites that are not our own.
But you’re a smart kid – you already knew that!
