Privacy Policy

Last updated October 12, 2026 (channel submissions)

Jokosphere ("we") is a free site that helps you find comedy videos on YouTube. This page explains what we collect and how we use it.

We use YouTube API Services

Jokosphere uses YouTube API Services to find and play videos. Videos play in YouTube's official embedded player, so YouTube and Google receive information about your use of that player under their own policies. By using Jokosphere you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy applies to that data. You can review or revoke access Google apps have to your data on the Google security settings page.

What we collect

• No accounts, no tracking profiles. You don't sign in, and we don't sell or share personal information.
• Server logs. Our server keeps standard request logs (IP address, browser type, the page requested, time) for security and troubleshooting. We don't use them to identify or profile visitors.
• Video health reports. When a video plays or fails to play, your browser tells our server the video's length or the player's error code, so we can label lengths and remove broken videos. These reports contain no personal information.
• Your location. If you tap "Use my location" on Live near you, your browser asks first, and the distance math happens on your device. Your location is never sent to us. The city you pick is remembered in your browser only.
• Cookies. Jokosphere sets one small cookie of its own, cf_lists, and only when you have saved, followed or watched something. It holds the number 1 and nothing else: no ID. It tells our server to bring your saved lists along when our web address changes. YouTube's embedded player may set cookies or use similar technology on your device. See the Google Privacy Policy linked above.
• Channel submissions. If you submit a channel on /submit, we keep the channel link, the name you typed and the result of our checks, plus a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address that only limits how many submissions one connection can send in a day. We don't ask for an email address.

YouTube data we store

We store public information about videos (titles, descriptions, thumbnails, channel names, publish dates) to build the feed. We refresh or delete that data at least every 30 days, as YouTube's policies require.

Children

Jokosphere is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
