Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely upon:

Contract

Processing may be necessary to provide something you have requested or purchased. Examples include:

• Creating your account;

Consent

We may rely on your consent for certain activities, including certain:

• Marketing communications;
• Cookies;
• Advertising technologies; and
• Personalisation or tracking activities.

Where processing relies upon consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information where it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. These interests may include:

• Improving DaComedyZone;
• Understanding how the Services are used;
• Preventing fraud;
• Protecting our systems;
• Providing customer support;
• Developing new features; and
• Measuring business performance.

Where required, we consider the potential impact on individuals before relying upon legitimate interests.

Legal Obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, tax requirements, accounting obligations, regulatory requirements, court orders or other legal duties.

4. Personalised Daily Jokes

If you sign up to receive personalised daily jokes, we may use information such as your:

• Name;
• Email address;
• Selected joke preferences;
• Favourite comedy categories;
• Previous interactions; and
• Other personalisation settings

to tailor the content delivered to you.

You can change applicable preferences or unsubscribe from marketing communications using the facilities provided.

Where an email is necessary to provide a service you specifically requested, different rules may apply from promotional marketing emails.

5. Marketing Communications

If you have opted in, or where otherwise permitted by law, we may send communications about:

• New comedy content;
• DaComedyZone features;
• Comedy Crew content;
• DaComedyZone+;
• Promotions;
• Special offers;
• New tools;
• Competitions; and
• Other DaComedyZone news.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in the email or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not necessarily prevent us from sending essential service communications relating to your account, purchases, subscription, security or legal matters.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

These may include:

Used to understand website traffic and how users interact with DaComedyZone.

Advertising Cookies and Technologies

May be used to measure advertising campaigns and, where applicable, provide or measure relevant advertising.

Depending on the technologies implemented, these services could include platforms such as:

These technologies may process information such as:

Where legally required, these technologies will not be activated until appropriate consent has been obtained.

Payment providers may collect and process information necessary to:

• Process transactions;
• Prevent fraud;
• Authenticate payments;
• Handle refunds;

DaComedyZone may receive transaction-related information from the payment provider but does not necessarily receive or store your complete payment-card details.

9. Who We Share Information With

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information with trusted service providers where reasonably necessary to operate DaComedyZone. These may include providers of:

• Website hosting;
• Cloud infrastructure;
• Payment processing;

• Customer support;
• Analytics;
• Advertising and campaign measurement;

We expect service providers processing personal information on our behalf to protect it appropriately and use it only as permitted by applicable arrangements and law.

We may also disclose information where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users or Services.

10. AI Service Providers

Some DaComedyZone features may rely upon third-party artificial intelligence or technology providers.

Where necessary to generate requested content, information contained in prompts may be transmitted to these providers for processing.

We encourage users not to enter:

• Financial information;
• Passwords;
• Government identification numbers;
• Medical information;
• Highly sensitive personal information;
• Confidential business information; or
• Information about another person that they do not have a lawful reason to provide

into comedy generators.

11. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security and regulatory requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the information. For example:

• Account information: generally retained while your account remains active and for an appropriate period afterwards.
• Transaction records: may be retained for the period required by tax, accounting and other applicable laws.
• Customer-support communications: retained for a reasonable period to resolve disputes and maintain appropriate records.
• Marketing information: retained until you unsubscribe or we determine it is no longer appropriate to retain it, subject to maintaining necessary suppression records.
• Technical/security records: retained for periods reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, diagnostics and legal compliance.
• Comedy prompts and generated content: retained only as necessary for providing, securing and improving the applicable Services, subject to the way the relevant feature is configured.

Where possible and appropriate, information may be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required.

12. International Data Transfers

DaComedyZone may use service providers located outside the United Kingdom. This means personal information may sometimes be processed in other countries. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps required by applicable data protection law to protect that information.

These may include relying on:

• UK adequacy regulations;
• Approved contractual safeguards;
• The UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
• The UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses; or
• Other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.

Where applicable, further information about safeguards may be requested using our contact details.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:

• Unauthorised access;
• Loss;
• Misuse;
• Alteration;
• Disclosure; and
• Destruction.

Measures may include encryption, access controls, authentication, secure hosting, monitoring and other appropriate safeguards.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for keeping their account credentials secure and should not share passwords with others.

14. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending upon applicable law and your circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Access — request a copy of personal information we hold about you.
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

15. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact hello@dacomedyzone.com.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

There is normally no fee for exercising your data-protection rights, although applicable law permits fees or refusal in certain circumstances involving manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.

16. Complaints

If you have concerns about how DaComedyZone handles personal information, please contact us first so we have an opportunity to investigate.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if UK data protection law applies.

If you live outside the United Kingdom, you may also have rights to contact your local data-protection authority.

17. Children

DaComedyZone is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where doing so would be unlawful.

Certain comedy content may contain sarcasm, roasts, adult themes or language that is unsuitable for younger audiences.

If we become aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected in circumstances requiring deletion or parental authorisation, we will take appropriate action.

18. Third-Party Links

DaComedyZone may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, advertisers, affiliate partners or other external services.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

Users should review the privacy policies of external services before providing personal information to them.

19. Affiliate Links

Some DaComedyZone content may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, DaComedyZone may receive a commission.

Third-party affiliate networks or retailers may process information about clicks and purchases in accordance with their own privacy practices. Appropriate affiliate disclosures will be provided where required.

20. Social Media

DaComedyZone may operate accounts on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other social networks.

If you interact with DaComedyZone through these platforms, the relevant platform may process personal information independently in accordance with its own privacy policy. Information you make publicly available through social media may also be visible to other users.

21. Automated Processing and Personalisation

DaComedyZone may use automated systems to personalise comedy content, recommend features or determine which content may be most relevant to a user.

For example, your selected comedy preferences may influence the jokes or Comedy Crew content shown to you. We do not intend to use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals unless appropriate safeguards and notices are provided as required by law.

22. Business Transfers

If DaComedyZone or the business operating it is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale or transfer of assets, personal information may form part of the transferred business assets where legally permitted.

Any recipient would be required to handle personal information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

• Changes to DaComedyZone;
• New products or features;
• New technology providers;
• Changes to our data practices;
• Changes to applicable law; or
