Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2024 | Effective Date: Upon reading

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

• User Reviews & Confessions: Content you voluntarily submit through our interactive features is stored locally in your browser
• Quiz Responses: Your quiz answers are processed locally and not transmitted to our servers
• Contact Information: If you contact us (unlikely, given our response time), we may retain your message

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent, and general browsing patterns (aggregated and anonymized)
• Device Information: Browser type, operating system, and screen size for optimizing your experience
• IP Address: For security purposes and geographic content optimization

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide and improve our satirical content
• Analyze website performance and user engagement
• Ensure website security and prevent abuse
• Display relevant advertisements through our ad partners
• Remember your preferences (like daily tip claims)

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and local storage for:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site
• Advertising Cookies: Used by our ad partners (Adsterra) to display relevant ads
• Local Storage: Stores your reviews, confessions, and game progress locally on your device

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website features.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Advertising Partners

We partner with Adsterra for advertising. They may collect and use data according to their own privacy policies. For more information, visit Adsterra's Privacy Policy.

4.2 Hosting and Analytics

Our website is hosted on secure servers. We may use analytics services to understand website usage. These services process data according to their respective privacy policies.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use common sense online—which, ironically, is the opposite of what our tips recommend.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to certain data processing
• Data portability

Since most data is stored locally in your browser, you can manage it directly through your browser settings (clearing cookies and local storage).

7. Children's Privacy

BOST is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

8. International Users

Our website is accessible globally. By using BOST, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in accordance with this policy, regardless of your location.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. Material changes will be noted with an updated date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

10. Contact Us

For privacy-related inquiries, please understand that our response capacity is limited. For immediate data control, use your browser's privacy settings to clear cookies and local storage associated with our site.
