PRIVACY & CHOICES.

Privacy & Choices

At Humans Need Supervision, our job is to document questionable human decisions—not collect more personal information than we need.

This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when visiting or participating in our community.

1. Information We Collect

When you visit our website

We automatically receive basic technical information needed to operate and protect the website. This may include your IP address, browser information, pages requested, and information used to prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.

We also use essential cookies to support website features such as logging in, submitting forms, maintaining security, and limiting duplicate votes.

When you create an account

We collect:

• Your username or display name.
• Your email address for account verification and password recovery.
• A securely stored password hash, never your actual password.
• Your account preferences, permissions, and activity.

Your email address and password are not displayed publicly.

When you participate

If you submit an incident report, photo, comment, or vote, we store the information needed to display and manage your contribution.

Contact forms may collect your name, email address, and message so we can respond.

2. Community Posts and Submissions

Humans Need Supervision is an entertainment community where visitors can share funny stories about human behavior, often from their pets' perspectives.

When you submit content, you understand that approved stories, comments, photos, and submitted video links may appear publicly on our website.

Depending on your account status, some contributions may appear immediately, while others require review.

We reserve the right to review, edit, reject, remove, or unpublish content that violates our community guidelines. Accounts that repeatedly violate our rules may have posting privileges restricted or disabled.

Please protect everyone's privacy. Don't submit private information, personal addresses, or identifiable photos of other people without appropriate permission.

Uploaded images are processed to remove embedded metadata, but visible details in photographs may still reveal personal information.

Members can withdraw their own account-linked incident reports through their profiles or contact us for additional assistance.

3. How We Protect Your Information

Humans Need Supervision is hosted using DigitalOcean infrastructure and a separate DigitalOcean Managed PostgreSQL database.

We use security measures that include:

• Encrypted HTTPS connections.
• Protected account sessions and password hashing.
• Temporary, single-use password-recovery links.
• Restricted administrative access.
• Security checks, rate limiting, and community moderation.

We take reasonable precautions to protect information, but no website or online system can guarantee absolute security.

4. Cookies and Website Analytics

Essential cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. They help maintain your login session, protect forms, remember voting activity, and support security. These cookies are not used for optional analytics or personalized advertising.

Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, which episodes attract attention, and how we can improve the experience.

When optional analytics is enabled, it loads only after you allow it through our privacy controls.

You can change your analytics choice on this page.

5. Advertising and Google AdSense

To help support the website and keep our entertainment free, Humans Need Supervision may display advertisements through Google AdSense.

If advertising is enabled, Google and its authorized advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver ads, measure performance, and, where permitted, personalize advertisements.

Google may use information about visits to this and other websites for advertising purposes.

You can learn more about managing Google's advertising preferences at:

https://myadcenter.google.com/

Additional advertising opt-out information is available at:

https://optout.aboutads.info/

Where applicable law requires additional advertising consent, we will use the appropriate consent-management tools before enabling advertising that requires those choices.

Advertising preferences and analytics preferences are separate. Allowing or declining optional website analytics does not automatically determine your advertising privacy choices.

6. YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok

Our website features original comedy Shorts and may embed videos from YouTube or link to our pages on Facebook and TikTok.

When you interact with embedded videos or visit those platforms, they may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

Those services operate independently of Humans Need Supervision.

Our recurring animal characters and produced comedy scenes are AI-generated fictional entertainment. Community submissions are identified separately from our original fictional episodes.

7. Your Privacy Choices

You can contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with your account or submissions.

Registered members can manage certain account details and contributions from their profiles.

Some information may need to be retained for legitimate security, dispute-resolution, backup, or legal purposes. We review privacy requests in accordance with applicable law.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the website, support the community, protect against abuse, and meet applicable obligations. Backup copies and limited security records may remain for additional periods.

8. Children's Privacy

Humans Need Supervision is not intended for children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy as our website, community features, or advertising services change.

The current policy version and effective date are displayed on this page. Significant changes will be reflected in a new published version.
