2. Information we collect

Information you choose to provide

• General contact: name, email address, selected topic, an optional OddityMall page address, and your message.
• Product submissions: name, email address, company or publication, relationship to the product, product name, official and media URLs, price or availability details, product description, and your explanation of why it fits OddityMall.
• Copyright, trademark, attribution, and removal requests: request type, rights holder, legal name, role or authority, email, telephone number, mailing address, description and location of the material, explanation, requested action, declarations, and electronic signature.
• Privacy requests: name, email address, request type, relationship to OddityMall, location or jurisdiction if supplied, and the details needed to understand the request.
• Newsletter: email address and subscription status. The primary signup flow uses a self-hosted Sendy newsletter service; a hosted or legacy signup link may route through Mailchimp.
• Comments: if comments are enabled on a page and you submit one, WordPress may collect the name, email, website, comment, IP address, browser information, and convenience-cookie choices associated with that submission.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Site, our servers and service providers may process IP address, user agent, browser and device type, operating system, screen or viewport size, page path and title, referring page, traffic source, standard campaign parameters, approximate country or region, timestamps, session activity, ad impressions or interactions, and security or bot signals.

Our forms also use nonces, signed timing tokens, hidden honeypot fields, and temporary rate-limit records to distinguish ordinary submissions from automated abuse. The form plugin emails accepted submissions to the OddityMall support mailbox and does not intentionally publish them or add them to a public database.

Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information

Do not send Social Security numbers, government identification, financial account credentials, payment-card data, passwords, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through an OddityMall form. A rights request may require contact, authority, declaration, and signature information, but it should not include unrelated confidential material.

3. How and why we use information

• Operate, deliver, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Site.
• Respond to questions, corrections, accessibility feedback, media requests, partnerships, and other communications.
• Evaluate product submissions, verify details, request clarification, and make independent editorial decisions.
• Investigate and document copyright, trademark, attribution, privacy, legal, and safety requests.
• Manage newsletter subscriptions, deliver requested email, and maintain suppression records after an unsubscribe.
• Measure audience activity, understand content performance, prevent abuse, and protect the Site.
• Display, personalize where permitted, limit repetition of, and measure advertising.
• Attribute affiliate referrals and understand whether a click resulted in a purchase or other action.
• Comply with law, enforce our policies, establish or defend legal claims, and protect people, rights, and systems.

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or a similar law applies, our legal bases may include your consent; performance of a service you requested; compliance with legal obligations; and our legitimate interests in publishing, communicating, measuring audiences, preventing abuse, improving the Site, and protecting legal rights. We balance those interests against the effect on individuals and rely on consent when applicable law requires it.

5. When information is disclosed

We may disclose relevant information to service providers that support hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, advertising, email delivery, newsletter management, backups, technical support, and professional advice. Depending on the request, we may also share information with:

• A product maker, retailer, publicist, or source when clarification or permission is reasonably necessary.
• A content provider, rights holder, claimant, adviser, or platform when investigating a copyright, trademark, attribution, removal, counter-notification, or similar request.
• Government authorities, courts, regulators, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, and legal claims.
• A successor or adviser involved in a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or transfer of all or part of the business, subject to appropriate safeguards.

OddityMall does not sell personal information for money. Depending on your jurisdiction, disclosure of cookie, device, and activity data for personalized or cross-context behavioral advertising may be defined as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Use the privacy request form to submit an applicable opt-out request.

6. Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, the relationship involved, security and recordkeeping needs, and applicable legal obligations. Retention depends on the record:

• Messages and product submissions: while they are being reviewed and for a reasonable period afterward to handle follow-up, prevent repeated pitches, document editorial decisions, and resolve disputes.
• Rights, privacy, and legal requests: as long as reasonably necessary to investigate, respond, document compliance, and establish or defend legal claims.
• Newsletter records: while subscribed. We may retain a limited suppression record after an unsubscribe so the address is not added or mailed again unintentionally.
• Comments: while the comment remains published or as otherwise needed for moderation, security, and legal obligations.
• Analytics: according to configured service periods. Fluxly analytics may be retained for up to 24 months by default; aggregate or de-identified reporting may be kept longer.
• Security and server logs: for a limited period appropriate for operation, fraud prevention, investigation, backup rotation, and legal compliance.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, de-identify, or aggregate it. Copies may remain temporarily in backups or records that must be preserved by law.

8. International processing, security, and children

International processing

OddityMall is based in the United States, and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where applicable law requires a transfer mechanism or safeguard, we and our providers rely on appropriate contractual, legal, or recognized transfer measures.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including encrypted transport, access controls, software maintenance, form validation, anti-spam controls, and security monitoring. No internet service or email system can guarantee absolute security.

Children

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If you believe a child submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate. Additional age thresholds may apply in some jurisdictions.
