1. Public by design — please read first
Everything you publish through SiteShare is public by design: your project name, URL and page content appear in the public gallery, in sitemap.xml, and are crawlable by search engines. Never publish passwords, private keys, personal documents, or anyone else's private information.
2. Data we store when you publish
When you publish a page we store:
- Your code — the HTML, CSS and JavaScript files of the published page, served publicly at your project URL.
- Project registry — project name, public URL and creation date, used to power the gallery and sitemap.
- IP address + publish count — stored alongside the registry entry and in a rate-limit counter to enforce the 200 publishes per IP per day fair-use limit and to detect spam, phishing and abuse. Server logs with IP addresses are kept for a maximum of 30 days.
Registry data is kept for as long as your page is hosted. If your page is removed following a takedown request, its gallery and sitemap entries are removed as well.
3. Automatically collected data & analytics
When you visit SiteShare, your browser automatically sends technical information (IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, pages visited, referral source). We analyse it in aggregate via Google Analytics 4 to understand usage and improve the service.
You can opt out with a tracker blocker or via Google's opt-out add-on. See how Google uses data on partner sites.
4. Cookies
SiteShare itself sets no tracking cookies of its own. Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga / _gid for aggregated statistics. Published user pages are plain static files and set no cookies unless their author's own code does.
5. GDPR rights (EEA)
If you are in the European Economic Area you have the right to be informed, access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, plus rights around automated decision-making. Our lawful bases are your consent and our legitimate interests in operating a free, abuse-free hosting service.
To exercise any right, email [email protected] — we respond within 30 days as required by law.
6. CCPA (California)
California residents have the right to know, delete, opt out of sale, and non-discrimination. SiteShare does not sell personal information — never has, never will. To submit a request, email [email protected]; we verify identity and respond within 45 days.
7. Security & retention
- HTTPS encryption on all pages; abuse monitoring on the publish API.
- Registry data retained while your page is live; removed from gallery/sitemap on takedown.
- Server logs (IP addresses) retained max 30 days, then deleted.
8. Children's privacy
SiteShare is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 — if you believe a child has published personal data here, contact [email protected] and we will remove it.
9. Third parties
Third-party services used on this site:
- Google Analytics 4 — usage statistics (Privacy Policy)
Published pages may themselves load third-party resources chosen by their authors — those are the author's responsibility, not ours.
10. Changes & contact
We may update this policy; changes appear here with a new "Last updated" date, and material changes get a site notice. Questions or requests: [email protected] (Bangladesh — serving the world). EEA/UK users may also complain to their local supervisory authority.
