Privacy Policy

Quick Summary: OFree.net collects minimal information - primarily what you voluntarily provide (like newsletter emails or contact messages) and basic technical data used for site security and analytics. Third-party advertising (such as Google AdSense) and affiliate partners use cookies to serve ads and measure performance. We never directly sell your personal information for money.

1. Information We Collect

OFree.net collects limited information to operate securely and effectively:

• Voluntary Information: If you subscribe to our newsletter, use the Report Issue / Expired feature, or contact us via a form, we collect the details you choose to submit (such as your name, email address, or message content).
• Technical & Security Data: Like most websites, we automatically receive basic technical logs - including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and approximate geographic region. This is used strictly for security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.
• Advertising & Affiliate Data: Third-party advertisers, affiliate networks, and offer providers may process referral, click, or conversion data under their own independent privacy policies.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information only for legitimate operational purposes:

• To send newsletter updates if you explicitly subscribed.
• To respond to your questions, feedback, or expired deal reports.
• To maintain, optimize, and secure the OFree.net infrastructure.
• To detect and prevent spam, scraping, technical issues, and security threats.
• To measure third-party advertising performance and support site monetization.

3. Cookies & Google AdSense

OFree.net does not use custom first-party tracking cookies for user accounts or internal profiling. However, third-party services on our site use cookies, pixels, and local storage:

Google AdSense: We display third-party ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use advertising cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to OFree.net and other websites on the Internet. These technologies also help measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and manage ad frequency.

• You can learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites.
• You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising anytime through Google My Ad Center or at aboutads.info.

Where required by regional laws, Google AdSense Privacy & messaging tools display consent and opt-out options automatically based on your location.

4. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Websites

OFree.net features links to external websites, including retailers, brands, sweepstakes providers, sample request forms, and affiliate networks. When you click a third-party link, you leave OFree.net.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, terms, security, or data collection of external websites. Before submitting personal details, surveys, or payment information on any third-party site, please review that website's official privacy policy and terms.

5. Newsletters & Contact Forms

If you subscribe to an OFree.net newsletter, your email address is processed solely for newsletter delivery by our email service provider. You can unsubscribe at any time using the one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email.

When using our contact or deal-reporting forms, please do not submit sensitive personal data (such as financial information, passwords, or government IDs).

6. Regional Privacy Rights (U.S., EEA, UK & Switzerland)

OFree.net does not sell personal information for monetary compensation. However, under certain U.S. state laws, third-party advertising and affiliate tracking may be classified as targeted advertising or "sharing."

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, Switzerland, or applicable U.S. states, consent management dialogs are presented where required by law to let you manage your advertising cookie preferences. You also have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you voluntarily submitted to us.

7. Data Security & Retention

We implement reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect data from unauthorized access or loss. We retain voluntarily provided information (such as newsletter emails or support messages) only for as long as necessary to fulfill its intended purpose, or until you request its deletion.

8. Children's Privacy

OFree.net is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or the minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal details to us, please contact us immediately so we can remove the data.

9. Policy Updates & Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technical or legal changes. Continued use of OFree.net after updates are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
