Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 27, 2026

OFFERINGS INDEX takes your privacy seriously. This policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what choices are available to you as a visitor.

Our approach to privacy

We believe privacy is a right, not a feature. Our default position is to collect the minimum amount of information necessary to operate the site effectively, respond to your enquiries, and understand how our content is being used at an aggregate level. We do not build profiles of individual visitors, we do not sell data, and we do not use the information you give us for purposes beyond what is described in this policy.

This policy applies to all information collected through OFFERINGS INDEX — including through the website itself, our contact form, and our newsletter subscription. It does not govern the practices of any third-party provider whose website you may reach via a link on our platform.

What information we collect

We collect only what is genuinely necessary to operate the site and respond to your needs. Here is a full breakdown:

Information you provide directly

• Contact form submissions: when you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, the topic category you selected, and the message content you wrote. This information is used solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. It is not used for marketing unless you separately consent to newsletter communications.
• Newsletter subscriptions: when you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. This is used only to send you updates about new offers, new content, and changes to the index. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. We do not subscribe people to our newsletter without their explicit opt-in.

Information collected automatically

• Usage and analytics data: we may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the site — including which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, what devices and browsers they use, how they arrived at the site, and their approximate geographic region (at country or broad city level). This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally. It helps us understand what content is useful and how to improve the platform.
• Cookies: we may use cookies — small text files placed on your device by your browser — to help the site function correctly, remember session-level preferences, and measure site performance. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising or to track you across other websites. You can control, restrict, or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time without losing access to the site's core functionality.
• Server logs: like most websites, our servers automatically record certain technical information each time a request is made to them. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, the referring URL, the pages you access, and the time and date of access. These logs are retained for a limited period for security monitoring and diagnostic purposes and are not used to profile individual visitors.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect only for the purposes described here:

• To respond to messages, questions, and enquiries you submit via the contact form.
• To send newsletter updates to subscribers who have explicitly opted in, and to manage those subscriptions (including processing unsubscribes promptly).
• To understand how people use the site in aggregate, so we can make improvements to the content, structure, and user experience.
• To monitor, maintain, and protect the security and reliability of the platform.
• To comply with legal obligations where applicable.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. If this policy ever changes in a way that permits such sharing, we will notify users and obtain appropriate consent before doing so.

Third-party services we use

OFFERINGS INDEX uses a small, carefully selected set of third-party services to operate effectively. These may include email delivery services (used for contact form messages and newsletter distribution) and web analytics tools. When we use such services, those providers may process a limited amount of data on our behalf. We choose providers who operate under appropriate data protection standards and who are bound by their own privacy commitments.

We share only the minimum information necessary for these services to function. We do not provide third-party services with more data than they need, and we do not authorise them to use your data for their own purposes beyond what is necessary for the service they provide us.

Our pages also link to third-party provider websites. Once you click through to an external site, that provider's own privacy policy governs how your data is handled. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, how third-party providers collect, store, or use your information. We encourage you to read any provider's privacy policy before submitting personal information on their platform.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law:

• Contact form enquiries are retained for as long as is necessary to respond to and resolve your query, and then deleted or anonymised.
• Newsletter subscriber records are maintained for as long as you remain subscribed. When you unsubscribe, your email address is removed from our active list promptly. We may retain a suppression record (a note that you previously unsubscribed) to ensure we do not inadvertently contact you again.
• Analytics data is aggregated and does not constitute personal data retained about individual visitors. Where analytics providers store session or visitor identifiers, these are typically subject to the provider's own retention policies.
• Server logs are typically retained for a short period (days or weeks) for security purposes and then deleted or overwritten.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have concerns about how we store or protect your data, please contact us.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable data protection law. These may include the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy of it.
• Request correction of any personal information we hold that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain it.
• Withdraw consent at any time where our processing is based on consent (for example, newsletter subscriptions).
• Object to certain types of processing where we rely on legitimate interests as a legal basis.
• Request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Request that we transfer your data to another service provider in a portable format, where technically feasible.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@offeringsindex.com. We will acknowledge your request promptly and respond in full within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. We will not charge a fee for reasonable requests and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for adults and is not directed at, or designed for, children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal information from children. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through our site, please contact us at hello@offeringsindex.com and we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we use, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify users — for example, by adding a notice on the site or sending an email to newsletter subscribers. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.

Contact us

If you have questions, concerns, or requests related to this privacy policy or the way we handle your personal information, please contact us at hello@offeringsindex.com. We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries promptly and transparently.
