Short version: I collect what you send me and the technical information described below, use it to respond to your requests and operate the site, and don’t sell your personal information. You can opt out or ask me to delete it anytime.

Privacy notice

Jovertime is Joe Martocci’s independent editorial project at jovertime.com. This notice covers information collected through the website, resource requests, email signups, guest pitches, and related communications. Contact joe@jovertime.com with privacy questions or requests.

Information collected

You choose what to provide: an email address for resources or updates; a name, email address, and story details for guest pitches; and anything included in correspondence. Forms also record submission time, IP address, and browser information. Website services may process technical logs and cookie data. Do not send passwords, financial account details, health information, confidential employer/client information, or information you lack permission to share.

Use, storage, and sharing

Information is used to deliver requested resources, manage requested updates, answer questions, assess guest pitches, and operate and protect Jovertime. Form records are stored in WordPress and may appear in notification emails and backups. Hosting, website, security, and email providers process information as needed to supply their services. Information may also be disclosed when legally required, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect rights, safety, and the site against fraud or abuse. A guest pitch is not permission to publish identifying details; publication permissions are handled separately.

Email choices and opting out

The Monday Test signup requests worksheet delivery and weekly Jovertime updates, as described on the form. Other signup forms explain the updates requested before submission. A guest pitch is handled separately and does not subscribe you to the newsletter. You can opt out of marketing updates at any time by emailing joe@jovertime.com; use the unsubscribe link in recurring newsletters once that service launches. Requesting a resource or pitching a story does not by itself authorize unrelated marketing. An opt-out does not prevent replies to new requests or necessary non-marketing communications. A minimal suppression record may be retained to respect your choice.

Cookies, external services, and public content

WordPress and related services may use cookies for login, preferences, and security. Browser controls can restrict cookies, although some features may stop working. External fonts and embedded media can send technical data, including IP addresses, to their providers. Social links lead to services governed by their own notices. Website comments are disabled. Do not send private information through other public channels.

Security and retention

No website, email transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not use forms or email to transmit sensitive or confidential material. Suspected misuse or a security concern can be reported to joe@jovertime.com. Records should be kept only as needed for the purposes described, applicable obligations, dispute handling, and security; copies in backups may remain until routine replacement.

Privacy requests and applicable rights

Email joe@jovertime.com to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of information you submitted, or to withdraw a marketing preference. Depending on your location and applicable law, additional rights may include restricting or objecting to processing, portability, an appeal, or a complaint to a privacy regulator. Identity or authority may need verification; do not send identity documents unless a secure method is arranged. Some requests may be limited by legal, security, recordkeeping, or other permitted exceptions. Withdrawing a preference does not undo earlier lawful processing.

Children and international visitors

Jovertime is intended for a general adult audience and does not invite children under 13 to submit personal information. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact joe@jovertime.com so it can be reviewed and addressed. Providers may process information outside your country, where laws can differ.

Editorial and website disclaimer

General information, not professional advice

Jovertime interviews, 2-Minute Drill articles, Film Study reviews, and worksheets are provided for general educational and informational purposes. Nothing on this site or in Jovertime emails, interviews, social content, or downloadable resources constitutes legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, medical, employment, or other professional advice. Content is not a recommendation to buy or sell any investment or financial product. Accessing content, using a worksheet, or contacting Jovertime does not create an attorney-client, advisory, fiduciary, or other professional-client relationship. Consider your circumstances and consult a qualified professional when appropriate.

Views and outcomes

The views and opinions expressed by Joe Martocci are his own and do not represent or speak for any current or former employer, client, investor, board, or affiliated organization. Guests and contributors speak for themselves; their views are their own and are not necessarily those of Joe Martocci or Jovertime. Mentioning an organization does not imply its sponsorship, approval, or endorsement. Experiences and examples are context-specific. A result in one situation does not guarantee a similar result elsewhere. Content may become outdated or contain errors; use your own judgment and let me know about corrections.

Guest pitches and interviews

Sending a pitch allows Jovertime to review it and contact you about your story. A pitch is not a promise of an interview, publication, confidentiality, or compensation. Do not send material subject to another person’s confidentiality or ownership rights. Recording, publication, editing, and promotional permissions should be agreed separately with each guest before an interview is recorded or published.

Books, third-party material, and disclosures

Book titles, covers, trademarks, and other third-party materials belong to their respective owners. Discussion or review does not imply endorsement by an author, publisher, or featured organization. Any paid partnership, sponsorship, affiliate link, or material relationship must be disclosed alongside the relevant content. Links to external sites are provided for convenience; their content, availability, security and practices are outside Jovertime’s control.

Copyright and permitted use

© 2026 Joe Martocci / Jovertime. All rights reserved in original content owned by Joe Martocci, except where a different owner or license is identified. Copyright claims do not extend to third-party material. Nothing here limits uses permitted by applicable law, including fair use.
