Privacy Policy

Greatest Bits ("the site," "we," "us") is a non-commercial, fan-made archive of stand-up comedy, run by its operator (an individual; a formal entity may be established later). For anything in this policy, reach us through the contact page.

The site is static. There is no account system, no login, no comment form, no newsletter sign-up, and no shopping cart. We do not collect, store, or sell personal information, and we do not run analytics or advertising trackers, and we set no first-party cookies.

The only information that exists is what any website unavoidably involves: the third-party services below, which your browser contacts to render the page, and standard server logs kept by our web host.

To display a page, your browser loads resources from these providers. When it does, each provider receives your IP address and request, and may set its own cookies or log data under its own privacy policy, which we do not control:

• ▸GitHub Pages hosts the site and serves every page; like any web host, it may keep standard server logs (including IP addresses).
• ▸Google Fonts serves the typefaces.
• ▸Wikimedia Commons serves comic photographs.
• ▸TMDB serves special and album posters.
• ▸YouTube (Google) and Spotify serve embedded video and audio players, which load only on the pages that contain a clip.

We receive none of this data ourselves. Each provider's handling is governed by its own policy; the YouTube and Spotify players in particular may set cookies once a page with an embed loads.

We set no cookies of our own. Any cookies that appear come from the embedded YouTube and Spotify players or other third-party resources described above. You can block or clear these in your browser settings, and most browsers offer a way to refuse third-party cookies entirely; doing so will not break the rest of the site.

The third-party providers above are based in, or transfer data to, the United States. Because we set no cookies and run no tracking ourselves, the site places nothing on your device before you interact with it, except what those providers load to render a page. If you would rather not contact Google, Wikimedia, or TMDB at all, browser privacy settings and content blockers can prevent those resources from loading.

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR you have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the limited data a provider may hold, but because we hold no personal data ourselves, those requests are best directed to the relevant provider. Anything you email us is covered by Section 7.

We do not sell or share personal information, and we have no personal information to sell. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and comparable state laws you have rights to know, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; because we collect none, there is nothing for us to disclose, delete, or stop selling. If you believe otherwise, contact us and we will respond.

If you reach out through the contact page with a correction, a takedown request, or a question, we receive what you choose to send (such as your email address and message) and use it solely to respond. We do not add you to any list, and we keep correspondence only as long as needed to handle the matter.

This is a general-audience archive about stand-up comedy. It is not directed to children under 13, and we knowingly collect no personal information from anyone, including children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

The site is served over HTTPS. Because we store no personal data, there is no user database to breach. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, but the surface here is deliberately minimal.

As the project grows into something with accounts, a newsletter, or community features, this policy will be rewritten and reviewed before any of that goes live. Material changes will be reflected in the effective date below. Until then, it stays this simple.
