Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how OffTheHype (othtnr.com) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to transparency and do not collect personal information through registrations, accounts, or databases. Our site uses standard web technologies to improve your experience and analyze traffic.
Information We Collect
When you visit OffTheHype, we automatically collect certain non-personal information through standard web technologies. This includes:
- IP address (used only for geolocation and security)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referral URLs
- Standard server logs
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form — and even then, it is not stored in a database.
How We Use Information
The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- To understand how visitors interact with our content
- To improve website performance and user experience
- To deliver relevant advertising through third-party networks
- To ensure website security and detect fraudulent activity
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. All usage is limited to internal analytics and operational needs.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember preferences, analyze site traffic, and serve targeted ads.
Types of cookies we use include:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality
- Analytics cookies: Used by third-party services to measure site performance
- Advertising cookies: Used by ad networks to display relevant content
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some features of the site.
Third-Party Services
OffTheHype uses trusted third-party services to support our operations:
- Google Analytics: To analyze traffic patterns and user behavior
- Google AdSense: To serve contextual advertisements
- Cloudflare: For website security and performance optimization
These services may collect data such as IP addresses, browsing behavior, and device information. They operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:
Data Security
We implement industry-standard measures to protect your data, including secure servers, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected
- Request deletion of their data
- Opt out of the sale of their personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
Since we do not sell personal information and do not collect identifiable data, these rights are largely applicable to data collected by third parties. You may contact us to request access to or deletion of any information you believe we hold.
Children's Privacy
OffTheHype does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
