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:
- Right to Access: The right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

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