This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information about visitors to our Site. We operate globally and provide this Policy to meet requirements in the U.S. (including California), the EU/EEA, the UK, and other regions. If any term here conflicts with local law that applies to you, the local law controls.
1) Scope
This Policy applies to information collected through odditymall.com and any email newsletters we send. It does not apply to information collected by third parties that we do not control (for example, when you click a link to another site or interact with third-party embeds or ads).
Our Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). See Section 14.
2) Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide to us
- Comments (WordPress native): When you post a comment, WordPress collects the information you provide (e.g., name, email, comment text) and may set convenience cookies so your details are remembered for future comments.
- Newsletter subscriptions (Mailchimp): If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and any optional fields you choose to submit.
2.2 Information collected automatically

- Advertising (Google AdSense): Ad delivery and measurement data, which may include cookie or device identifiers.
- Affiliate networks (e.g., Amazon Associates, ShareASale, Impact): We receive information indicating that a purchase or action occurred following our affiliate link (typically transaction totals and an anonymized identifier used for attribution; we do not receive your full payment information from affiliates).
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through the Site.
3) How We Use Your Information
We use information to:
- Provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Site (including debugging and preventing fraud/abuse).
- Publish and moderate comments.
- Send newsletters you request and manage subscription preferences.
- Understand audience interests and Site performance (analytics).
- Display and measure advertising and affiliate links and to attribute referrals.

Legal bases (EEA/UK users):
- Consent: cookies/trackers for analytics and advertising; newsletter subscriptions.
- Legitimate interests: Site security, basic performance measurement, comment moderation, preventing fraud/abuse.
- Legal obligation: responding to lawful requests and maintaining required records.
4) Advertising (Google AdSense)
We display ads through Google AdSense. In certain regions (e.g., EEA/UK), you will see a consent banner (provided via Google/AdSense) that asks for your permission to use cookies and similar technologies for advertising and measurement.
- If you grant consent, AdSense may use cookies or mobile identifiers to deliver personalized ads and measure their effectiveness.
- If you decline consent, ads may be limited or may not be displayed in your region. We currently do not offer non-personalized ads as an alternative experience.
You can adjust or withdraw consent at any time using the cookie controls available through the banner (see Section 5.4).
5) Cookies & Similar Technologies
5.1 What we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: Core WordPress, security (e.g., Cloudflare) — required for the Site to function.
- Functional cookies: Commenter convenience cookies (remembering your details when you comment).
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics for aggregate usage reporting.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense for ad delivery/measurement (subject to consent where required).
5.2 WordPress comments
When you leave a comment, WordPress may set cookies storing your name/email/website so you don’t have to re-enter them later.
5.3 Third-party embeds
Videos and social embeds (e.g., YouTube and other platforms) may set their own cookies or similar technologies when you view or interact with them. These providers’ use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
5.4 Your choices
- Consent banner (EEA/UK and where required): Use the banner’s “Privacy & Cookie Settings” (or similar) to review or change your choices at any time.
- Browser controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may affect Site functionality.
6) Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate Site usage (e.g., which pages are popular, general audience geography). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies. We use these reports to improve content and performance. Where required (e.g., EEA/UK), analytics runs only with your consent. You can also use browser tools or the consent banner to manage analytics cookies.
7) Affiliate Links & Third-Party Links
OddityMall participates in affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates, ShareASale, Impact, and others. When you click an affiliate link on our Site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. Affiliate partners use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals and attribute sales. We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties; please review their privacy policies.
The Site also contains links to third-party websites and embedded content (e.g., YouTube). Your interactions with those services are governed by their terms and privacy policies.
8) How We Share Information
We share information with service providers who process data on our behalf for the purposes described above, including:
- Hosting: Linode (U.S.)
- CDN/Security: Cloudflare
- Analytics: Google Analytics
- Advertising: Google AdSense
- Email Marketing: Mailchimp
- Affiliate Networks: Amazon Associates, ShareASale, Impact, and other networks we may partner with from time to time
We may also share information as required by law, to protect our rights or the rights of others, or in connection with a corporate transaction.
We do not sell personal information for money. For U.S. state laws (e.g., California), our use of personalized advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. See Section 11 for your opt-out rights.
9) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information, including TLS encryption in transit, access controls, and routine patching. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we learn of a breach affecting your information, we will follow applicable legal requirements to notify you.
10) Data Retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law. Typical retention periods include:
- Comments: retained and displayed indefinitely unless you request deletion or we remove them under our moderation policies.
- Newsletter (Mailchimp): retained until you unsubscribe; we may keep a suppression record so we don’t email you again.
- Analytics (Google Analytics): event-level data is typically retained for up to 14 months (or a similar period selected in our Analytics settings).
- Server/security logs (Cloudflare/Linode): retained for a limited period sufficient for security, troubleshooting, and auditing.
11) Your Rights & Choices

We are based in the United States, and many of our service providers process data in the U.S. and other countries. When we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards permitted by law (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses, or participation by certain vendors in recognized transfer frameworks). By using the Site or subscribing to our emails, you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws than your country of residence.
13) Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK).
