We do not sell your personal data. We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
What Other Members Can See
Other members may see your profile information, including your name, photos, and general preferences. Specific survey responses (such as detailed kink preferences) are used for matchmaking algorithms only and are not displayed to other members unless you choose to share them.
Profile data is accessible only to authenticated members and is not publicly accessible or indexed by search engines.

Violations of this policy may result in immediate account termination, as outlined in our Terms & Conditions and Consent & Community Guidelines.

- Active accounts: Data is retained for the duration of your membership
- Account deletion: Upon account closure, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law
- Legal holds: We may retain information longer if required for legal proceedings, regulatory compliance, or dispute resolution
- Safety and Fraud Controls: Limited records may be retained for backups, fraud prevention, safety enforcement, and to help prevent banned or abusive users from re-registering.
In some cases, residual data may remain in secure backups for a limited period before it is overwritten or deleted as part of our normal retention cycle.
