Sensitive Information

Because the Platform is adult-only and includes social, dating-adjacent, location-enabled, and user-generated content features, some information we process may be sensitive. This may include government ID information, verification images, biometric-derived verification information, approximate location, explicit content, private messages, sexual preferences, sex life, sexual orientation, relationship status, lifestyle information, consent records, 2257 records, and safety reports.

We use this information to provide the Platform, verify users, maintain an adult-only environment, protect users, moderate content, process subscriptions, comply with law, maintain consent and 2257 records, process complaints and takedowns, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms and policies.

How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

• create, manage, secure, and verify accounts;
• provide profiles, posts, feeds, messages, groups, events, discovery, matching, location-based features, NSFW controls, blocking, muting, hidden-content tools, bookmarks, referrals, rewards, achievements, badges, and leaderboards;
• verify age and identity and prevent minors from using the Platform;
• process subscriptions, payments, cancellations, refunds, trials, and billing support;
• host and display User Content according to Platform features and your settings;
• review content, messages, reports, complaints, appeals, and takedown requests;
• detect and prevent fraud, bots, impersonation, abuse, harassment, nonconsensual intimate content, trafficking, exploitation, child-safety violations, and illegal activity;
• maintain 2257, consent, creator-status, payment, tax, legal, safety, moderation, and compliance records;
• provide support, respond to feedback, diagnose bugs, analyze Platform performance, and improve the Platform;
• send account, service, safety, legal, subscription, event, group, marketing, and notification communications where permitted; and
• comply with law, app-store rules, payment-processor rules, card-network rules, court orders, regulator requests, law-enforcement requests, and our legal obligations.

What Other Users May See

AfterDark Society is a social and user-generated content platform. Other users or the public may see information you choose to provide or make available, depending on the feature and your settings.

This may include your profile, display name, photos, videos, posts, comments, reactions, group activity, event activity, badges, leaderboards, approximate location indicators, content tags, and other public or semi-public activity.

Private groups, private events, close friends, blocking, muting, hidden content, keyword filters, location privacy settings, and NSFW settings may limit visibility, but they do not guarantee complete privacy. Other users may copy, save, screenshot, record, share, or misuse content despite Platform rules.

Private Messages

Private messages are hosted by AfterDark Society and are not guaranteed to be confidential from AfterDark Society.

We may review messages or message metadata using automated tools, human reviewers, service providers, or user reports for safety, moderation, legal compliance, fraud prevention, anti-trafficking, child safety, nonconsensual content detection, harassment prevention, support, and policy enforcement.

Location

The Platform may use approximate location to provide nearby discovery, maps, groups, events, search, matching, safety features, fraud prevention, and Platform functionality.

You may be able to disable location features, deny device permissions, or adjust radius and location-privacy settings. If you do, some features may not work or may be less accurate.

Payments and App Stores

Web subscriptions are processed by CCBill. In-app purchases may be processed by Apple or Google.

We receive limited payment and subscription information, such as transaction identifiers, subscription status, plan information, renewal status, cancellation status, refund status, and chargeback information. CCBill, Apple, and Google process payment information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Who We Disclose Information To

We may disclose personal information to:

• other users or the public, depending on your settings and Platform features;
• hosting, cloud infrastructure, storage, content delivery, security, analytics, crash-reporting, and technical providers;
• age and identity verification providers, OCR providers, liveness-check providers, fraud-prevention providers, moderation vendors, trust-and-safety vendors, and compliance providers;
• payment processors, CCBill, Apple, Google, banks, card networks, app stores, and payment-support providers;
• customer-support providers, tawk.to or similar chat providers, email providers, push-notification providers, and communications providers;
• legal, accounting, tax, audit, insurance, and professional advisors;
• law enforcement, regulators, courts, NCMEC, anti-trafficking organizations, child-safety organizations, emergency services, payment processors, card networks, and app stores where required or appropriate; and
• corporate transaction counterparties and advisors if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, change of control, or similar transaction.

We do not currently sell personal information for money. We do not currently share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not currently process personal information for targeted advertising.

Cookies, SDKs, and Analytics

We may use cookies, mobile SDKs, pixels, local storage, web beacons, device identifiers, analytics tools, crash-reporting tools, and similar technologies to operate the Platform, remember preferences, authenticate users, prevent fraud, analyze usage, fix bugs, improve performance, secure the Platform, support subscriptions, and improve features.

Where required by law, we will provide cookie choices or request consent for certain technologies.

Automated Tools

We may use automated tools, algorithms, rules-based systems, machine learning, and human review for age and identity verification, OCR, liveness checks, fraud detection, spam detection, content review, NSFW labeling, moderation prioritization, nonconsensual intimate content detection, child-safety detection, trafficking or exploitation signal detection, discovery, matching, recommendations, support routing, and policy enforcement.

Where required by law, you may have rights to request information, object, opt out, request human review, or appeal certain automated decisions.

Your Choices

Depending on your location, settings, and Platform features, you may be able to:

• update account and profile information;
• manage single or couple account status;
• adjust profile visibility;
• change NSFW and content preferences;
• block, mute, hide content, use keyword filters, and manage close friends;
• adjust location settings and radius controls;
• disable device permissions;
• manage email preferences and push notifications;
• control cookies, SDKs, or device identifiers where available;
• request access, correction, deletion, portability, or other privacy rights;
• opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling where applicable;
• appeal certain privacy-rights decisions where applicable; and
• delete your account.

Some choices may limit or disable features.

Retention and Account Deletion

You may request or initiate account deletion through Platform tools where available.

Account deletion removes your account from ordinary Platform use and may remove or de-identify user-facing account data. We may retain information after account deletion as needed for legal, safety, fraud-prevention, tax, chargeback, payment, 2257, consent, reporting, moderation, dispute-resolution, law-enforcement, audit, app-store, payment-processor, card-network, and compliance purposes.

Private messages are deleted or anonymized after account deletion, except that we may retain messages or related records as needed for safety, moderation, legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute handling, law-enforcement cooperation, 2257 compliance, consent compliance, or other legitimate business or legal purposes.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information.

No system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that personal information will be completely secure or that Platform content will not be copied, saved, photographed, recorded, screenshotted, shared, or misused by other users.

Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, restrict, object, withdraw consent, opt out, appeal, or receive information about how we process personal information.

California, Nevada, other U.S. state, EU, UK, Brazil, Canada, and other international privacy rights are described in the full Privacy Policy.
