Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 20, 2026
TL;DR
Joke Box collects no personal data. Jokes are stored on your device only. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Safe for kids.
Overview
Joke Box ("the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information.
Information We DO NOT Collect
The App does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information, including:
- No personal identification information
- No location data
- No device identifiers
- No usage analytics
- No advertising identifiers
- No user accounts or profiles
- No contact information
- No photos or media
- No payment information
Data Storage
The App stores joke history locally on your device only using iOS UserDefaults. This data includes:
- Jokes you've heard today
- Joke IDs to prevent repetition
- Your favorite jokes
- Date of last use
This data never leaves your device, is not backed up to iCloud, is automatically cleared daily (except favorites), and can be deleted by deleting the app.
Joke Feedback
When you flag a joke using the report button, the joke text and your selected reason are sent to our feedback service. No personal information, device identifiers, or account data is included with this report.
Third-Party Services
The App fetches jokes from JokeAPI, a free public API. When you request a joke, a network request is made to v2.jokeapi.dev. No personal information is sent. JokeAPI's safe-mode is enabled to filter inappropriate content.
Children's Privacy
Joke Box is designed for children ages 5 and up. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children or any other users.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above.
