Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-22

This Privacy Policy describes what information oshizi.com collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. For the rules governing your use of the site, see our Terms of Service.

1. Summary

We do not provide user accounts, and we do not collect account credentials such as usernames, passwords, or profile accounts for the Service.

We collect limited information:

• information you voluntarily submit to us, such as through a form;
• your IP address when necessary to enforce rate-limited or abuse-sensitive features;
• analytics and advertising cookies only after you consent through our cookie banner.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information you provide directly

We collect the content you voluntarily submit through the Service, such as form entries, messages, or requests.

B. IP addresses for rate-limited features

When you use certain abuse-sensitive features, such as the Like button on a VOD page or the Now Streaming submission form, we may store your IP address together with the relevant interaction so we can enforce one-action-per-IP or otherwise protect the feature from abuse.

We use this information only for security, abuse prevention, rate limiting, and feature integrity. We do not sell it.

C. Automatically transmitted technical data

Like most websites, our servers may automatically receive certain technical information when you visit the Service, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and request timing, as part of normal web hosting and security logs.

3. Cookies, Consent, Analytics, and Advertising

We use optional cookies and similar technologies only after consent where required by law.

Consent choices are managed through our cookie banner. Depending on your location, you may be able to accept or reject separate categories such as Analytics, Advertising, and Personalized Advertising.

Google Analytics
If you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics may store cookies or similar identifiers in your browser to help us understand aggregate traffic and usage patterns.

Google AdSense
If you consent to advertising cookies, Google AdSense may store cookies or similar identifiers to serve ads, measure ad performance, and help limit fraud or abuse.

Personalized Advertising
If you also consent to personalized advertising, Google and its partners may use information such as your browser, device, approximate location, and interactions with the Service to show more relevant ads.

If you do not consent to personalized advertising, ads shown to you may be non-personalized or more limited.

For users in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, we seek consent where required before using non-essential cookies or enabling personalized advertising.

Examples of cookies or identifiers that may be used after consent include:

• Google Analytics: _ga, _gid
• Google advertising / AdSense: __gads, __gpi, IDE

Google's advertising and privacy practices are governed by Google's own policies.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• operate and maintain the Service;
• process and respond to submissions you send us;
• enforce feature-level rate limits and prevent abuse;
• understand aggregate usage trends;
• show ads where enabled by your consent settings;
• protect the security and integrity of the Service;
• comply with legal obligations.

5. Consent and Cookie Choices

We use Google Consent Mode v2 and deny Google analytics and advertising storage by default unless and until you explicitly consent.

Using our cookie banner, you can:

• accept all optional cookies;
• reject all optional cookies; or
• selectively enable categories where available.

If you reject optional cookies, Google Analytics and Google AdSense cookies will not be enabled. Core site functionality that does not depend on those cookies may still work.

You can reopen the cookie settings from the footer at any time.

6. Legal Bases

Where applicable under privacy law, we process information on the following bases:

• your consent, for optional analytics and advertising cookies;
• our legitimate interests, such as protecting the Service against abuse, securing the Service, and operating site features;
• compliance with legal obligations.

7. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information only in these limited situations:

• with service providers that help us operate the Service, such as hosting, analytics, or advertising vendors;
• when required by law, legal process, or governmental request;
• to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Oshizi, the Service, or others;
• in connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including security, abuse prevention, compliance, and operational needs.

For example:

• optional analytics / advertising data retention is governed in part by the relevant third-party provider;
• IP data used for rate-limited interactions may be retained as long as needed to enforce those limits or investigate abuse;
• server logs may be retained for a limited operational or security period.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information we handle.

All traffic to oshizi.com is served over HTTPS. Access to server-side data is restricted to the site operator and service providers who need that access to operate the Service.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

11. International Users

If you access the Service from outside the country where the Service is operated, you understand that your information may be processed in other countries that may have different data protection laws than your own.

12. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing.

Because we do not operate user accounts, our ability to identify and fulfill some requests may be limited unless you provide enough information for us to locate the relevant data.

13. Third-Party Links

The Service may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or availability of those third parties. Please review their own privacy policies.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date above.

Your continued use of the Service after the updated Privacy Policy is posted means you acknowledge the revised policy.
