1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you interact with the site, including:

• Community contributions — pickup lines, ratings, and field notes you submit to the platform.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit DirtyPickupLines.com, certain technical information is automatically collected:

• Log data — IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited.
• Device information — device type, screen resolution, and language preferences.
• Usage data — pages you view, links you click, and time spent on pages.
• Cookies and local storage — we use browser local storage to remember your theme preference (dark/light mode). No tracking cookies are set without your consent.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and its features.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

DirtyPickupLines.com uses minimal tracking technologies:

• Local Storage — we store your dark/light mode preference locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.
• Analytics — we may use a privacy-respecting analytics tool (e.g., aggregate, anonymized page view data) to understand traffic patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected for analytics purposes.
• No third-party advertising cookies — we do not serve behavioral advertising and do not allow third-party ad networks to set cookies on our site.

You can control cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Clearing local storage will reset your theme preference.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

• Google Fonts — we load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. Google may collect limited request data. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Hosting provider — our site is hosted on a third-party infrastructure provider. Standard server log data is retained for security purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. Community contributions (pickup lines, ratings) are retained indefinitely unless you request deletion.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
