Privacy policy
We collect as little as we can: enough to let you sign in, post memes and keep the site free of spam. We don’t sell your data, we don’t show ads and we don’t use tracking or analytics cookies.
Who we are
Memetime (memetime.net) is a moderated meme feed. For any privacy question or request, write to [email protected].
What we collect and why
| Data | Why | How long |

| Sign-in provider ID and name (if you use Google or Discord) | To recognise you next time. We receive your account ID, email address and display name. We never see your password. | Until you delete your account |
| Username | Shown next to your memes and comments. | Until you delete your account |
| Memes you upload, their titles and tags | To show them in the feed after moderation. We remove location and camera data (EXIF) from pictures and metadata from videos when we process them. | Until you or a moderator delete them. Rejected files are deleted right after the decision |
| Comments, votes and reports | To run the feed, the discussions and moderation. Reports are only visible to moderators. | Until deleted, or until you delete your account |
| IP address and browser type of your signed-in sessions | Security: to spot account takeovers and abuse. | Up to 30 days (the life of a session) |
| IP address and email address of sign-in code requests | To stop spam and limit how many codes can be sent. | Codes: 10 minutes. Request log: 2 days |
| Anonymous visit statistics: pages viewed, the site you came from, browser, operating system, device type and country | To understand which parts of Memetime people use. Counted by Umami on our own server, without cookies. Your IP address is used only to work out the country and is not stored. | Kept as statistics that cannot be linked to you |
| Account dates and status | New-account limits, bans and keeping the site safe. | Until you delete your account |
The legal bases are performing our service for you (account, posting) and our legitimate interest in keeping Memetime safe and free of spam (limits, bot protection, moderation).

Who processes data for us
We use a few services to run Memetime. They process data only to provide their service to us.
- Cloudflare — delivers the website, protects it from attacks, runs the “are you human” check (Turnstile) and stores published memes (R2). Cloudflare privacy policy.
- OVHcloud — the server that runs Memetime, its database, memes waiting for moderation and our visit statistics (Umami, an open-source tool we run ourselves).
- Resend — sends the emails with sign-in codes. Resend privacy policy.
- Google and Discord — only if you choose to sign in with them. Google, Discord.
Some of these providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. They use standard safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
What other people can see
Your username, the memes you publish, your comments and the number of votes are public. Your email address, IP address, individual votes and reports are never shown to other users.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, export it, or delete your account and everything you posted. Write to [email protected] from the email address of your account; we answer within 30 days. If you live in the EU, the UK or another region with data protection laws, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Memetime is for people aged 16 and over. If we learn that an account belongs to someone younger, we delete it.
Security
All connections use HTTPS. Sign-in codes and session tokens are stored only as one-way hashes. Access to the server is limited to the people who run Memetime.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use your data in an important way, we will announce it on the site.
