Introduction

Welcome to Ragdolls Club. Protecting your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your personal information with the highest standards of security, transparency, and compliance. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

Our Commitment to Data Protection

We are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring that all data processing activities are carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Personal Data We Collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data:

How We Use Your Data

Your personal data is used exclusively for legitimate business purposes, including:

Legal Bases for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Data Ownership

You retain ownership of any data you provide to us. While we require certain rights to process and utilize your data to deliver our services, these rights do not transfer ownership. You have the right to access, amend, and delete your data as described in this policy.

Privacy by Design and Default

We implement the principles of Privacy by Design and Default in all our systems and processes. This means that we consider privacy at the earliest stages of any project or system design and ensure that personal data is handled with the highest level of protection by default. We regularly review and update our systems to maintain this standard.

Transparency Reports

We are committed to transparency regarding government and law enforcement requests for personal data. Should we receive such requests, we will carefully review them and only comply if they meet the necessary legal requirements. When legally permissible, we will include such requests in our transparency report, which can be made available to users upon request.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. We apply strict data retention policies and securely delete or anonymize data that is no longer required.

Data Security Measures

We implement advanced security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, regular security audits, and restricted access controls.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security due to the inherent risks of internet transmission.

Your Data Protection Rights

You have the following rights concerning your personal data:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to your request within one month, as required by law.

Data Sharing and International Transfers

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, and delivering services. These service providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are not permitted to use your data for other purposes.

If your data is transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or other regions with comprehensive data protection laws, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or other legal mechanisms, to protect your data.

Data Minimization

We adhere to the principle of data minimization. This means that we collect and process only the personal data that is necessary to fulfill the specific purposes outlined in this policy. We do not collect excessive or irrelevant data, and we ensure that any data collected is used in a way that is proportionate to the intended purpose.

Account Deletion

If you choose to delete your account, all of your personal data, including listings, messages, and other associated information, will be permanently removed from our servers. Please note that while your data will be deleted from our active systems, certain information may remain in backup systems for a limited time. This is necessary to ensure the integrity and security of our services.

To delete your account, you can access the account deletion feature through the User Control Panel or going directly via email at contact@ragdolls.club. Once the deletion process is initiated, it cannot be reversed, and all data associated with your account will be permanently lost.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not use any form of automated decision-making or profiling that would have a significant impact on you, such as decisions that could result in legal or similarly significant effects. All decisions related to subscriptions, access, and other critical areas are made by authorized personnel.

Data Anonymization and Pseudonymization

Where possible, we apply techniques such as anonymization and pseudonymization to personal data to enhance your privacy. Anonymization involves processing data in such a way that it cannot be linked back to an individual, while pseudonymization replaces identifiable information with pseudonyms. These methods are part of our commitment to safeguarding your personal data.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. For detailed information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

We use Google Analytics to monitor website performance and user behavior. This tool collects anonymized data, helping us improve our services. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We may also use other third-party tools for similar purposes. These tools are carefully vetted to ensure they comply with data protection standards.

Our website is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

If you exercise any of your rights as outlined in this policy, we will respond promptly and in accordance with legal requirements.
