Terms of Service

For MemeDB (meme.yiays.com).

Definitions

MemeDB, by the nature of being a database designed to record the history of memes and follow trends, allows almost all meme-related content, and will even store local backups of memes wherever possible in case the source material is ever deleted (which happens frequently).

Obviously, MemeDB operates within all applicable law. Refer to the privacy policy (below) for what we do with user data. MemeDB will refuse to host any content that breaks US, EU or NZ law.

Some examples of what we won't host on MemeDB include, but aren't limited to the following...

• Exploitation of minors (sexual or violent in nature) - based on appearance and/or age.
• Graphic imagery posted for the sake of graphic imagery. (context is considered)
• Memes using footage from the Christchurch Shooting or the related manifesto are illegal for us to possess as long as this website is hosted in New Zealand due to local censorship law.
• Content that you don't own the rights to - while memes should be considered a form of fair use by means of parody, not all memes are fair use. And as such can be taken down by the rightful copyright holder using a DMCA Takedown Request on the relevant page.
• Anything else that is otherwise illegal.

Privacy Policy

MemeDB takes a stance of collecting as little data as possible from our users. For this reason, you will find that we don't even store passwords and instead rely soley on OAuth through Discord. As a casual browser, the bare minimum cookies are used in order to make browsing the site possible, cookies are also used to store your settings locally instead of associating them with your account. When you create an account, this is purely used to associate any edits you make with an identity that can be restricted should your account be used to abuse the site.

To simplify... Before logging in, MemeDB knows the following about you;

• Your IP address
• Your browser
• Your preferences (zoom and edge rating, for example.) Unless you disable cookies.

• Your Discord ID, Username and Discriminator (Username#1234, for example.)
• Your email address (this may be used for mailing users notifications and updates later on.)
• Everything you vote on within MemeDB
• Every change you contribute to MemeDB
