3. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends upon how you use SecretDoors.
This may include information that you provide directly to us, information generated through your use of the website and technical information collected automatically.
4. Account Information
When you register for a SecretDoors account, we may collect information including:

- age or date-of-birth information;
- account status;
- membership status;
- registration date;
- login information;
- account preferences; and
- information necessary to administer your account.
You may use a display name or username rather than your real name where the platform permits this.
You should never use another person’s identity or impersonate another person.
5. Profile and Listing Information
SecretDoors allows users to create profiles and listings.
Depending upon the features you use, you may voluntarily provide:
- profile name;

- appearance information;
- interests;

- other information you choose to include.
You are responsible for deciding what information you publish.
Please remember that information deliberately placed into a public profile or listing may be visible to other users and, depending upon the configuration of the website, potentially to members of the general public.
Do not publish information that you do not want other people to see.
6. Sensitive and Special Category Information
Some information that users voluntarily provide through SecretDoors may constitute special category personal data under applicable data protection law.
This may include information concerning:
- sexual orientation;
- sex life;
- racial or ethnic origin;
- religious or philosophical beliefs;
- health;
- biometric information used for identification; or
- other information receiving additional protection under applicable law.
Where SecretDoors processes special category information, we will seek to ensure that an appropriate lawful basis and, where required, an applicable additional condition for processing special category data are in place.
Where appropriate, we may rely upon explicit consent where a user voluntarily provides sensitive information.
You should carefully consider whether you wish to provide sensitive personal information through your profile, listing, messages or other areas of the website.
7. Photographs and Images
Users may upload photographs and other images.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to upload any photograph or image.
Images may contain personal information, including:
- your appearance;
- other people;
- locations;
- vehicles;
- homes or other property;
- identifying features; or
- embedded metadata.
We recommend removing unnecessary identifying information from photographs before uploading them.
SecretDoors may process uploaded images for purposes including:
- displaying your profile or listing;
- providing website functionality;
- moderation;
- preventing abuse;
- responding to reports;
- enforcing our Terms and Conditions; and
- protecting the security and integrity of the platform.
8. Private Messages and Communications
Where SecretDoors provides private messaging or other communication facilities, information associated with those communications may be processed.
This may include:
- sender and recipient information;
- dates and times;
- message metadata;
- attachments;
- reports concerning messages; and
- information required to investigate abuse, fraud or security incidents.
Private communications are intended to remain private between the relevant users.
However, privacy should not be understood to mean that communications can never be accessed under any circumstances.
Access or processing may occur where reasonably necessary for:
- reports of abuse;
- suspected fraud;
- threats or unlawful activity;
- safeguarding;
- security investigations;
- enforcement of our Terms and Conditions;
- legal obligations; or
- responding to lawful requests from competent authorities.
We do not guarantee that any online communication system can be completely secure or immune from unauthorised access.

Normal listings may be available without charge, while additional features may be available through paid membership.
Membership options may include tiers such as:

When you purchase a paid service, payment may be processed by a third-party payment provider.
SecretDoors may receive information such as:
- transaction reference;
- payment status;
- membership purchased;
- subscription status;
- transaction date;
- amount paid; and
- limited payment-related information.
Where a third-party payment processor handles your payment, your full payment-card details may be processed directly by that provider rather than being stored by SecretDoors.
You should review the privacy policy of the relevant payment provider for information about its processing of payment information.

19. Adults Only — 18+
SecretDoors is strictly an 18+ adults-only platform.
You must be at least 18 years old to register for or use SecretDoors.
We do not knowingly permit children or persons under 18 to create accounts.
If we become aware that a person under 18 has created an account, we may suspend or remove that account and take appropriate action concerning associated information.
If you believe that someone under 18 is using SecretDoors, please contact:
20. Adult Content and Privacy
SecretDoors may contain adult-oriented profiles, listings, imagery, descriptions or communications.
Some material may contain sexual themes, explicit language or imagery that some people may find offensive.
Users choose whether to view or interact with such material and must comply with the SecretDoors Terms and Conditions.
SecretDoors does not require users to publish sensitive personal information and users should never disclose information simply because another person requests it.
21. Data Retention
SecretDoors retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
For example:

When information is no longer required, reasonable steps will be taken to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
22. Deleting Your Account
You may request deletion of your SecretDoors account.
Where appropriate, we will delete or anonymise personal information associated with your account.
Deletion may not result in immediate removal of every record where information must be retained because:
- we are legally required to retain it;
- it is required for accounting or tax purposes;
- it is required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
- it is necessary for fraud prevention or security;
- it exists within secure backups awaiting scheduled deletion; or
- another lawful basis for retention applies.
Requests concerning deletion can be made by contacting:
23. Data Security
SecretDoors uses reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:
- unauthorised access;

- password protection;
- secure connections;
- software updates;
- server security;

However, no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection law.
Such safeguards may include:
