EMail Addresses
To be told that we've released a new issue of this life-altering publication, you must give Check, Please! your email address. We really, really don't want to know anything else about you. And don't expect any other emails from us either, except as noted in "Changes to This Policy" below.

Please note that signing up for Check, Please! will not cause you to receive emails from its related biological entity, HumorFeed. And vice versa. To sign up for the HumorFeed's daily compilation of the best new satire on the planet, click here.

Also, we will not sell or share the email addresses we collect with anyone else, either, so don't sic your significant other on us for that "accidental" latex fetish site subscription. We won't cover for you anymore.

Cookies
Check, Please! uses cookies in its ad serving system. These cookies are for ad display purposes only. Outside companies who advertise on Check, Please! may also be using cookies. Some of these may contain peanut butter, or may have been created at dual-use plants where other nut-like products were present and run through the same machinery.

External Links
Check, Please! contains links to external sites. We stood up in front of everyone at Co-Dependents Anonymous, and declared once and for all that we are not responsible for the privacy policies of other websites. We love them, but they're grown-ups now, and we have to treat them like grown-ups. No more enabling!

Changes to this Policy
As our service grows, this privacy policy is subject to change. Changes to this policy will be either sent to the Check, Please! email list or announced on the Check, Please! website. If you don't ask to be removed from the email list when changes are announced, we'll assume that you think the changes are just hunky-dory, and we'll give ourselves a nice pat on the back for a job well done.
