At KillingJargon.com, we’re here to slay buzzwords, not your privacy. We take your data seriously, even if we don’t take jargon seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site, join the slaughter, or submit your own jargon to the kill list. If you don’t agree with this policy, you might be a buzzword sympathizer—proceed with caution!

​

1. What We Collect and Why

We collect minimal data to keep the #KillJargon movement alive and kicking:

• Email and Name (If You Join the Slaughter): When you sign up for our newsletter via our subscribe form, we collect your email address and name (if provided). We use this to send you snarky updates, kill lists, and jargon-slaying tips. We integrate with Mailchimp to manage subscriptions—check their Privacy Policy for details.

• Jargon Submissions: If you submit jargon to our kill list via our form, we collect the term and any optional details you provide (e.g., your name, email). We use this to fuel our guillotine and feature submissions on the site (anonymously unless you say otherwise).

• Cookies and Analytics: We use cookies to track site usage (e.g., page views, clicks) via Wix Analytics. This helps us understand what jargon you hate most and improve the site. Cookies might also be set by third-party services (e.g., Mailchimp, affiliate partners).

• Affiliate Links: We use affiliate links (e.g., Grammarly, Amazon Associates) to fund our mission. If you click these links, third parties might collect data like your IP address or purchase details—see their privacy policies for more info.

 

2. How We Use Your Data

We’re not here to hoard your info—we use it to:

• Send you email updates (if you subscribed) with the latest jargon kills and calls to action.

• Feature submitted jargon on our site or social media (e.g., X) to rally the movement.

• Analyze site performance and user behavior to make KillingJargon.com sharper than a guillotine blade.

• Earn commissions via affiliate links if you buy through them (at no extra cost to you, punk!).

 

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t sell your data to corporate buzzword lovers. We only share it with:

• Mailchimp: To manage email subscriptions and send updates.

• Wix: Our hosting platform, which collects analytics data (see Wix’s Privacy Policy).

• Affiliate Partners: If you click an affiliate link, partners like Grammarly or Amazon might collect data (e.g., IP address, purchase info). Check their privacy policies for details.

• Legal Requirements: If the law demands it (e.g., a court order), we’ll comply—but we’ll fight for your privacy like we fight jargon.

 

4. Your Choices and Rights

You’re in control of your data, not some jargon-spouting suit:

• Unsubscribe: Don’t want our emails? Click the “Unsubscribe” link in any email to ditch the slaughter (we’ll miss you, killer!).

• Cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features (like analytics) might not work as well.

• Access and Delete: Want to see or delete your data? Email us at [your-email@killingjargon.com (mailto:your-email@killingjargon.com)], and we’ll handle it faster than we guillotine “synergy.”

• GDPR/CCPA Rights: If you’re in the EU, California, or another region with privacy laws, you have rights to access, correct, or delete your data. Contact us to exercise these rights.

 

5. Security

We protect your data like we protect clear language:

• Wix uses secure servers and encryption (e.g., SSL) to keep your info safe.

• Mailchimp follows industry-standard security practices.

• We don’t store sensitive data (e.g., payment info) ourselves—affiliate partners handle that.

That said, no site is 100% secure. If a buzzword-loving hacker breaches us, we’ll notify you as required by law.

 

6. Third-Party Links

Our site includes affiliate links and third-party embeds (e.g., social media buttons). Clicking these might take you to sites we don’t control (e.g., Grammarly, Amazon). Their privacy policies apply, so read them if you care about that corporate nonsense.

 

7. Children’s Privacy

KillingJargon.com isn’t for kids under 13—we’re too busy slaying jargon to babysit. If we accidentally collect data from a minor, we’ll delete it faster than you can say “leverage.”

 

8. Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy as we sharpen our guillotine. If we make big changes (e.g., new data uses), we’ll notify you via email or a site notice. Check back here for the latest version.
