This is a standard industry-template privacy policy, not legal advice. Have a qualified lawyer review this — especially the data-handling, data-controller, and international-transfer sections — before relying on it. Last reviewed 18 June 2026.
Who We Are
DatingSiteSpot ("we", "us", the "Website") is an independent editorial and affiliate publication, reachable at [email protected]. Our website address is https://datingsitespot.com. We respect your privacy and collect as little personal data as possible.
The data controller for this Website is DatingSiteSpot Editorial, an independent editorial publisher. For any data-protection matter — including a request to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data — contact the controller at [email protected]. We operate as an editorial entity and identify ourselves by entity name and email contact rather than publishing personal details of the individuals behind the publication.
What This Policy Covers
This policy applies to this website only. It does not cover the third-party platforms we review and link to — each has its own privacy policy, which governs what happens once you leave our site.
What We Collect
The Website is a static publication. We do not run user accounts, comments, logins, or file uploads, so we do not collect that kind of data. We do process a limited amount of information:
- Server / log data. Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs — IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps — for security, abuse prevention, and basic traffic analysis. This is standard hosting activity and is not linked to your identity.
- Analytics data. We may use a privacy-respecting third-party analytics / visitor-counter service to understand which pages are read and how the site performs, so we can improve it. The service may set its own cookie and record standard visit data (such as pages viewed, referrer, approximate location, and browser type) under its own privacy policy. This is aggregate/statistical and not used to identify you personally.
- Affiliate referral data. When you click an affiliate link, the destination platform may record that the visit came from us so our partners can credit the referral. The commission, if any, is paid by the platform — see our Affiliate Disclosure.
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to include in your message and use it only to respond.
We do not sell your personal data.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. We use cookies sparingly:
- Essential cookies — needed for the site to function and to remember basic preferences. These do not track you across other sites.
- Analytics cookies — a third-party analytics / visitor-counter service may set a cookie so we can measure traffic and page performance in aggregate.
- Affiliate / advertising cookies — when you click an affiliate or advertising link, the partner platform (for example, an affiliate network) may set its own cookie to attribute the referral. These are set by the third party, under their own privacy policy, not by us.
You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can block them entirely — though parts of the site may then not work as intended. Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting and private-browsing modes. For affiliate/advertising cookies set by third parties, see that third party's own privacy policy to opt out.
Why We Process Data
As a matter of standard, GDPR-aligned best practice, we only process data where we have a clear reason to: our legitimate interest in running, securing, and improving the Website and measuring our affiliate referrals; your consent (where required, for non-essential analytics/advertising cookies); and to meet legal obligations. We aim to hold ourselves to strong international data-protection standards regardless of where you are.
Your Rights
As a matter of standard practice, you can ask us to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to provide it in a portable form. You may also lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in your own country. To exercise any of these, email us at [email protected] and we will help.
Data Retention
We keep server logs and analytics data only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize them. Emails you send are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry.
Children
The Website is intended for adults only (see our 18+ Age Statement). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Third-Party Links
Our pages link to third-party websites and affiliate partners. Once you follow a link, that third party's privacy practices and cookies apply, not ours. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, their data practices. Review their policies before sharing information with them.
International Transfers
Some service providers (for example, analytics or affiliate networks) may process data in various countries. Where that happens, we expect appropriate data-protection safeguards, consistent with the standards described above, to apply.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted here and the "last reviewed" date above will be updated.
