Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24/10/2025

Welcome to sitelist.org (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit or interact with our website at https://sitelist.org (the “Service”).

1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

  • Personal Information you provide: name, email address, messages you send via contact forms, newsletter signups, and any other information you choose to provide when contacting us or registering on the Site.
  • Automatically collected information: technical data collected automatically when you visit our Site — IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, pages visited, referring/exit pages, timestamps, and other diagnostic data. We or our third-party service providers (like Google Analytics) collect this information using cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our content.
  • To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you (including email newsletters, if you subscribe).
  • To serve personalized advertising and measure ad performance (e.g., Google AdSense).
  • To analyze usage patterns and improve user experience and site performance (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • To process and track affiliate referrals and commissions when you click affiliate links on our site.
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and fraud.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (if you are in the EEA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Consent: where you have given consent (e.g., cookie consent for non-essential cookies).
  • Contractual necessity: to fulfill requests you make (such as subscribing to our newsletter if required by the service).
  • Legitimate interests: for our legitimate business interests such as improving the Site, providing content, and protecting against fraud. We always balance these interests against your privacy rights.

4. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities and to provide certain features.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies: necessary for the Site to function (e.g., session cookies).
  • Performance & analytics cookies: collect anonymous statistics to help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • Advertising cookies: used to deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance (e.g., Google AdSense).
  • Third-party cookies: cookies set by third parties when you interact with embedded content or ads (e.g., social widgets, ad networks).

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. You can also manage your preferences via our cookie consent banner (if enabled).

5. Third-Party Services & Links

We may use the following third-party services which may collect information about you:

  • Google AdSense: We display ads via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your previous visits to this Site and other sites. Learn about Google’s practices and opt-out options at Google Ads Policies.
  • Google Analytics / GA4: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics may collect device and usage data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or visiting Google’s Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com/.
  • Affiliate networks: We participate in affiliate programs (for example Amazon Associates, ShareASale, CJ, and others). Affiliate networks may track clicks and referrals using cookies and similar technologies. We receive commissions from qualifying purchases; see our Advertising Policy for details.
  • Other services: payment processors, email providers (for newsletters), hosting providers, and analytics/monitoring services. Each third party has its own privacy practices; we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

The Site may contain links to other websites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites; visiting those sites is at your own risk.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • With service providers who perform services on our behalf (hosting, email providers, analytics, ad partners, etc.).
  • To comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or protect rights and property.
  • In connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (we will notify users if material changes occur).

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide a mechanism to opt out where required by law.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including for legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Specific retention periods depend on the type of data and applicable laws. For example:

  • Contact form messages: retained until the matter is resolved and for a reasonable time afterward (typically up to 2 years).
  • Analytics data: aggregated or anonymized analytics data may be retained longer for trend analysis.
  • Newsletter lists: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. Below are common rights; not all rights apply in all jurisdictions.

  • Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: You can request deletion of personal data we no longer need or that you withdraw consent for.
  • Restriction: You can ask us to limit the processing of your data in certain cases.

9. GDPR (EU) Specifics

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the rights described above. Our legal bases for collecting and using personal information depend on the personal information we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

If you believe we are processing your personal data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your EU member state.

10. CCPA (California) Rights

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may provide you with rights including:

  • The right to request disclosure of categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect.
  • The right to request deletion of your personal information, with certain exceptions.
  • The right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. (We do not sell personal information for money; if our practices change, we will update this policy and provide opt-out instructions.)

To submit a request under the CCPA, email sitelist@gmail.com with the subject line “CCPA Request”. We will verify your request and respond in accordance with CCPA timelines.

11. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include using HTTPS, secure hosting environments, and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International Transfers

Our Site is hosted in Bangladesh. If you are located outside that country, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than your country of residence. By using the Site, you consent to transfers of your information to countries which may have different data protection rules than your country.

Our Site is not directed to children under 13 (or where higher age limits apply by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the applicable age. If we become aware that personal information from a child under the applicable age has been collected, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we may have collected such information, please contact us at sitelist@gmail.com.
