Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 28, 2026
Thank you for visiting the B.S. Institute of North America website. Your privacy is important to us — mostly because we're too lazy to do anything sketchy with your data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you interact with our website.
1. Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the dates and times of your visits. This helps us understand how many people are laughing at our jokes.
2. Information You Choose to Provide
If you take our quiz and purchase a certificate, you provide us with your name and email address. We use this information for exactly one reason: to deliver your satirical certificate via email. We do not use it for anything else — we have better things to do, like thinking up new punchlines.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
Send you the B.S. Artist Certificate you paid for
Improve our website's functionality (so it doesn't crash mid-quiz)
Occasionally communicate about our services, if you opt in
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. (We're not even sure how to do that, honestly.)
4. Data Security
We take appropriate measures to safeguard your information against unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If a data breach occurs, we will notify you as required by law — and probably also make a self-deprecating joke about it.
5. Links to Third-Party Sites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (for example, our payment processor, Stripe). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies if you're concerned.
6. Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently done so, please contact us immediately — we'll fix it.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the "Last Updated" date will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review it periodically — but let's be honest, neither of us enjoys reading privacy policies.
8. Contact Us
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy — or if you just want to tell us we're funny — please contact us at: info_bsartist@disroot.org
By using our website, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Thank you for trusting the B.S. Institute of North America with your personal information. (We promise not to do anything weird with it.)
Terms of Service
Last Updated: May 28, 2026
Welcome to the B.S. Institute of North America website ("the Website"). This Website is operated by the B.S. Institute of North America ("we", "our", or "us"), a satirical online entity with no physical campus, no accredited programs, and absolutely no standards worth mentioning.
By accessing or using this Website — including taking our quiz, purchasing a certificate, or simply laughing at our jokes — you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please enjoy your day elsewhere.
What This Website Is (And Isn't)
The B.S. Institute of North America is a satirical entertainment website. Our quiz, certificate, and all associated content are for entertainment purposes only.
Specifically: The "B.S. Artist Certificate" is a satirical novelty item, not an accredited academic degree from any recognized educational institution. It has no legal, professional, or academic value. You cannot use it to get a job, enroll in school, or impress anyone with actual authority. (Your friends might laugh, though).
What You're Buying
When you purchase a certificate for $4.99, you receive:
A digital PDF file designed to look amusingly official
The honorary, completely made-up title of "B.S. Artist"
You do not receive:
Any real academic credential
Any professional certification
Any right to claim you have expertise you don't actually possess
Intellectual Property
The Website's content — including quiz questions, certificate design, and satirical text — is owned by the B.S. Institute of North America. You may not reproduce, sell, or distribute our content without permission. However, you are welcome to share your certificate socially and laugh about it.
Your Data
We collect your name and email address solely to deliver your certificate. We do not share your data with third parties (we're too lazy, and also we respect your privacy). For more details, see our [Privacy Policy].
Limitation of Liability (The Important One)
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
The B.S. Institute of North America is not liable for any harm, embarrassment, or existential crisis resulting from your use of this Website.
You acknowledge that the B.S. Artist Certificate is a satirical novelty item and has no real-world value.
We are not responsible if you attempt to use this certificate to apply for a job, get into graduate school, or impress a romantic interest — and we reserve the right to laugh if you do.
No refunds will be issued simply because you realized after purchase that this was obviously satire. (The disclaimer is everywhere. We tried.)
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada. If any dispute arises — and we can't imagine why it would, since this is clearly a joke — it will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
