Draft — not legal advice

This Privacy Policy is a starting draft, not a finished legal document. Every bracketed placeholder like [Company Legal Name] must be replaced with your real details, and this document must be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before you rely on it or launch publicly.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how [Company Legal Name] ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use tubevibe.org (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

1. Information We Collect

Account information

When you register, we collect your username, email address, and a hashed (never plain-text) password. Anything you add to your profile — avatar, background image, bio, gender — is also stored.

Content you provide

Videos, photos, comments, private messages, and reports you submit are stored to operate the Service.

Usage and log data

We automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser/device information, pages viewed, and timestamps, including for rate-limiting and abuse prevention (see Section 4).

Cookies

We use cookies for authentication (keeping you signed in), remembering your age-gate confirmation, and — for signed-out visitors — a random, non-identifying guest token used only to prevent duplicate likes. See Section 3.

2. How We Use Information

to create and secure your account and authenticate you;
to operate core features: uploading, viewing, liking, commenting, messaging, following, blocking, and reporting;
to enforce these policies and our Terms of Service, including detecting abuse and applying rate limits;
to respond to support requests and legal notices (e.g. DMCA);
to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests from authorities.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use a small number of cookies that are necessary for the Service to function: a session/authentication cookie, an age-verification cookie confirming you passed the age gate, and, for guests, an opaque device token. We do not currently use third-party advertising or analytics cookies; if that changes, this policy will be updated and, where required by law, we will ask for your consent first.

4. Age Verification

Because the Service hosts adult content, we display an age-gate on first visit asking you to confirm you are 18 or older (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). This is a self-declaration, not a document-based verification. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 — see Section 8.

5. How We Share Information

We share information only: with service providers who host or process data on our behalf (e.g. hosting, database, and email infrastructure) under confidentiality obligations; when required by law, subpoena, or valid legal process; to investigate and prevent fraud, security incidents, or violations of our Terms; in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy continuing to apply; and with your consent.

Your public profile, publications, and comments are visible to other users and, unless you restrict them, to the public — that visibility is inherent to the Service, not a third-party disclosure.

6. Data Retention

We retain account and content data for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward as needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Reports and moderation records may be retained longer for safety and legal compliance purposes.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Most account information can be edited directly in your account settings; for deletion or other requests, contact [Support Email] / Data Protection Contact. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (e.g. GDPR, CCPA).

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is strictly for adults 18 and older and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have done so, we will delete that information promptly. Contact [Support Email] if you believe a minor has provided us information.

9. Security

We use technical and organizational measures — including password hashing and access controls — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be stored and processed in [Country/Region] or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your own. Where required, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection for such transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
