Mefco, and its advertisers and affiliates are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of Internet users. Below is information outlining our continued support for the responsible management of consumer information.

Consumer Information

During the process of delivering a joke to you, Mefco does not collect any personally identifiable information about you such as name, address, phone number, or e-mail address. However, Mefco does obtain some types of non-personally identifiable information such as the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet, your browser type, or the type of computer operating system you use (Macintosh or Windows, for example). The information collected by Mefco is used for the purpose of fine tuning our site to match our audience, and to provide overall audience information to our advertisers.

Information You May Voluntarily Provide

In some cases you may voluntarily provide personal information to us. They may be in the form of an e-mail sent to us, or by entering information into one of our response forms. In particular we may track and remember the source of a submitted joke, along with any information you provided with the submission. In general we keep this information private.

We may choose to release summaries of the submitted information (such as breakdowns by sex or age). We may also choose to make some of the specific personal information public, but only in those cases where you have specifically granted us permission to do so. You grant us permission to make personal information public by using our joke submission form and checking the "Yes, you can list me on the contributors page" option.

In all cases, when you submit a joke to us, we may make the content of the joke public without making public any personal information about you. By submitting a joke, you are granting us the unlimited right to use your joke in whatever fashion we see fit. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to edit any joke received, or to refrain from publishing any joke.
