Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-07. This is a draft for the operator to complete and have reviewed by a qualified lawyer before launch. Items in square brackets must be filled in or confirmed.

odd-sites.com ("the site", "we", "us") is operated by [OPERATOR NAME]. You can reach us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site and what we do with it.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us.

• Submissions: when you submit a site, we collect the URL, name, pitch, suggested category and, optionally, your name or handle and email address.
• Contact messages: if you email us, we keep your message and your email address so that we can reply.
• Newsletter: if you subscribe, we collect your email address and the time you confirmed it. [Confirm: the newsletter provider and whether double opt-in is used.]
• Reactions and reports: if you react to or report a site, we record that action.

Information collected automatically.

• Server logs: like most websites, our servers record technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps. We use these for security, abuse prevention and fixing problems.
• Analytics: [Confirm: describe the analytics tool used, or state that none is used.]
• Advertising: [Confirm: if ads are shown, name the ad network and describe cookies, personalized advertising and consent choices.]

Information stored in your browser. The site stores small amounts of data in your browser (local storage or a cookie) so it can remember things like the sites you have already seen through the random button, your last-used filters and your daily visit streak. This data stays on your device unless you choose to create an account, if one is offered. [Confirm: whether accounts exist and what is synced.] You can clear it any time in your browser settings.

2. How we use information

We use information to run and improve the site, to review submissions, to answer messages, to send the newsletter you asked for, to prevent spam and abuse, and to comply with the law. We do not sell your personal information. [Confirm.]

3. Third-party sites

We link to many websites we do not control. When you leave odd-sites.com, their privacy practices apply, not ours. Some sites open inside a frame under our toolbar, and some open in a new tab. Those sites may set their own cookies.

4. Our link checker

Our automated link checker visits listed sites. It does not collect personal information about visitors to those sites.

5. Sharing

We share information only with service providers who help us run the site (for example hosting, email delivery and anti-spam), when the law requires it, or to protect the site and its users. [List the actual providers.]

6. Retention

We keep submission and contact records for as long as we need them for the purposes above, and server logs for [retention period]. You can ask us to delete your information.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email [CONTACT EMAIL]. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in each message.

8. Children

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. [Confirm with counsel for your audience and jurisdictions.]

9. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no system is perfectly secure.

10. Changes

We may update this policy and will change the date above when we do.
