Terms of Use and Content Policy

1. Free and Non-Commercial Use

This entire website is provided **completely free of charge**. We do not charge fees for access, and the content is intended for personal and non-commercial educational use only.

2. Copyright and Linking Policy

We **do not support the stealing or infringing on copyrighted content**. This archive is purely a cataloguing service. We make a concerted effort to only link to videos hosted on **official or authorized sources** where possible (e.g., official YouTube channels, network archives).

User Responsibility: When submitting new appearances, please ensure the sources you provide are authorized to post the video to prevent us from linking to infringing material.

3. Personal Preferences & Local Storage

To allow you to track which videos you have "Seen" or added to your "Watch List" without requiring a login, we use **Local Storage**.

• No Account Needed. Your data lives on your device, not on our servers.
• Device Specific. Because this data is stored in your browser, your "Seen" list will not automatically sync between your phone and your computer.

4. Analytics

To understand user traffic and improve our services, we utilize **Google Analytics**.

• Traffic Analysis. We track anonymous traffic data such as page views, user location (city/country), and device type.
• Privacy First. We use standard settings which do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) like names or exact IP addresses.

5. External Links & Liability

Our service provides links to third-party websites (such as YouTube, Archive.org, and others). We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. You acknowledge and agree that The Norm Macdonald Archive shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused by or in connection with the use of any such content.
