What we collect

We may collect the following information when you use this site:

How we use your data

  • Email addresses provided with submissions are used only to notify you when your example is published. They are not used for marketing and are not shared with third parties.
  • Submitted irony examples are published on the site for community voting, with no personal attribution unless you choose to include identifying information in your submission.
  • We use Cloudflare Turnstile for spam prevention on our submission form. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to this service.
