How We Collect Information

We collect information about you directly from you when you:

• Use the Website;
• Create an account with us;
• Make purchases from us;
• Subscribe to our emails; or
• Communicate with or otherwise interact us.

In addition to data that you provide to us directly, we use tools like cookies and web beacons, as well as analytics services and advertising providers to gather data automatically and indirectly. Some of these tools offer you the ability to opt out of data collection.

Some of these Data Collection Tools are operated by third-party service providers that assist us with analytics, advertising, and communications. These providers collect and process information on our behalf or for their own purposes, depending on the context and your choices. Where required by law, you may have the ability to opt out of or manage these technologies:

Analytics

We use third-party analytics services like Google Analytics and Amplitude on the website. These services use Data Collection Tools (as defined below) to help us analyze and learn about how you use our website.  For more information about how these third-party analytics services collect, use, and disclose information, please see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and https://amplitude.com/terms. To help us gauge the effectiveness of our communications, we may also use common digital tools that allow us to see if you opened an email we sent or visited a link in those emails.

Advertising

We also partner with third-party advertising services to deliver advertising to you on the Services about other websites you may be interested in and on other websites and online services. The ads may be based on your use of the Services, including the content filters you’ve chosen to use to browse our Website, and your activities elsewhere on the internet.

These third-party services may place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, phone, or other device and may access those tracking technologies in order to serve these tailored advertisements to you. For more information, please visit the Section titled “Cookies and Automatic Data Collection Technologies,” below.

Purposes for Which We Collect Data

We use the data we collect through your use of the website to:

• Provide and administer the Services, including to display customized content, process transactions, support the features available to you, and improve the performance of the Website;
• Communicate with you about your account by:
  • Responding to your questions and concerns;
  • Sending you transaction-related information;
  • Sending you information about updates to your Favorites, new services, new features, promotions, newsletters, and other information (which you can opt out of at any time);
• Manage your account preferences;
• Market and administer surveys and promotions administered or sponsored by Kink;
• Improve our website and develop new products, services, and features;
• To determine whether users of our Website are unique, or whether the same user is using the Website on multiple occasions, and to monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed and demographic patterns;
• Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our website;
• Depending on your jurisdiction, we process identifiers, and we may use third party service providers to process biometric information, for the purpose of verifying your identity and the authenticity of the identifiers you provide when registering an account on the Website;
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, abuse, and other illegal activities;
• Troubleshooting, de-bugging, and otherwise addressing issues that may arise with the functionality of the Services;
• Perform accounting and administrative tasks, and enforce or manage legal claims;  
• Protecting our legal rights, property, and security of records or information, our members and Service users, our organization and others;
• Complying with industry standards, applicable law, judicial process, and any properly authorized civil, criminal, or regulatory investigation, or any subpoena or summons issued by a competent authority;
• Enforcing our policies, terms of use, or rights arising from contracts; or
• As we, in our sole discretion, otherwise determine to be necessary to ensure the safety or integrity of our users, employees, third parties, the public, or our company.

Biometric Information

In some jurisdictions, where the law requires, we may employ a third-party service provider to verify your identity, age, and to verify the authenticity of the identification documents you provide us using facial recognition technology. Facial recognition technology creates a mathematical representation of your facial features which are detected from the live scan of your face, your selfie, and the government-issued ID you submit or have previously submitted to us. We do not process face recognition data. Face recognition data is collected by and remains with our third-party providers, and is never provided to or accessed by us.

Where applicable, your biometric information may be processed to:

• Verify you are a real, live person and to prevent the use of methods which would allow a user to identify as someone else;
• Match your selfie with your government-issued ID which you will submit or have previously submitted to us namely to make sure that nobody is impersonating you.

You will be asked to provide your consent to biometric information processing by our third-party provider, which you may withdraw at any time by contacting us. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any collection, use, processing, or disclosure that occurred prior to the withdrawal. Kink does not receive, access, or store biometric data; Kink receives only your IP address and a verification result (i.e., pass or fail).

Please note that this section entitled "Biometric Information" only applies to identifiers processed by our third-party age verification service provider for the purpose of granting you access to the Website in certain jurisdictions.

The Kink Live Platform

When you visit the Website, you can take advantage of the Kink Live live-cam channel. Kink Live is operated by Flirt4Free (“F4F”), not Kink, so when you click into Kink Live, you are leaving the Kink.com environment and entering a digital property that is fully controlled by F4F.

Notice:  We may sell your personal information.  Depending upon your state of residence, you may have the right under applicable privacy laws to opt out of the disclosure of your personal data to third parties. Because the automatic sharing of your registration details with F4F upon account creation may constitute a “sale” of personal data to a third party under some laws, you may have the right to opt out of this sharing before it occurs. 

When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a cookie and privacy preferences banner where required by applicable law. By clicking “Reject” on that banner, you will opt out of (i) the automatic disclosure of your registration details (including your username, email address, and IP address) to F4F at the time of account creation. If you opt out, your account will not be automatically registered with Kink Live. You may still access Kink Live separately by registering directly with F4F through the Kink Live platform, at which point F4F’s own privacy policy will govern your information.

Kink does not determine how F4F collects, uses, or discloses your personal data on Kink Live, and it does not set, monitor, or enforce F4F’s data handling practices. However, when you register with our Website, we share registration details, such as your username, email address, and IP address, with F4F to automatically register you with the Kink Live channel. This allows you to seamlessly sign into Kink Live using the same username and password that you use for our Website. If you choose to make purchases through Kink Live, we share certain tokenized payment identifiers with F4F so that F4F can authenticate your payment method without requiring you to re-enter your information.

Because Kink Live is operated by F4F, F4F’s privacy policy (https://www.flirt4free.com/privacy.php)—not this Kink Privacy Policy—will govern the personal data that is collected or processed once you are on Kink Live. We encourage you to review F4F’s privacy carefully before interacting with Kink Live content or making purchases. If you initially allow the automatic sharing of your information with F4F but later wish to opt out, you may do so at any time by updating your privacy preferences in your account settings, by adjusting your cookie preferences in your browser or by contacting us at [e-mail]. Upon receiving a verified opt-out request, we will cease disclosing your registration details to F4F on a going-forward basis. Please note that any information already disclosed to F4F prior to your opt-out request will be subject to F4F's privacy policy, and you should contact F4F directly to exercise any rights with respect to information already in F4F's possession.

Kink is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of F4F. By accessing Kink Live, you acknowledge that Kink disclaims all liability arising from F4F’s handling of your personal data through Kink Live.

Cookies and Automatic Data Collection Technologies

When you visit the Website, Kink and third parties with whom we work, including service providers acting on our behalf (like Google Analytics, third party advertisers  and third party IT service providers), use server log files and automated data collection tools like cookies, tags, scripts, customized links, device or browser fingerprints, and web beacons (together, “Data Collection Tools”) to collect personal data and other information when you access and use the Services and about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. These Data Collection Tools automatically track and collect certain System Data, Technical Data, Log and Usage Data and Geographic Data (as detailed above) when you access the Services. In some cases, we tie data gathered through those Data Collection Tools to other data that we collect as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

You may be able to modify your cookie settings or turn off all or certain types of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Please note, however, that if you delete or turn off cookies, you may not have access to some of the features that make your experience on our site smoother, you may not be able to store your preferences, and some portions of our website may not function properly.

These tools and technologies collect and analyze certain types of information, including IP addresses, device, and software identifiers, referring and exit URLs, onsite behavior and usage information, feature use metrics and statistics, usage and purchase history, media access control address (MAC Address), mobile unique device identifiers, and other similar information via the use of cookies. The information generated by Google Analytics about your use of the Website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. You can learn more on how Google uses data here, and you can opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page or by accepting only necessary cookies.

• Targeting cookies: These cookies enable us to make the Website more relevant to your interests and to help us serve ads that might be of interest to you.

A persistent cookie will remain until it expires, or you delete your cookies. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years.

Do Not Track: Our systems do not recognize browser "Do Not Track" signals. We honor universal opt out signals like the Global Privacy Control where we are required to do so by applicable law. These are signals you can automatically send from your browser to a website to convey your choice to exercise certain opt-out rights granted by individual states. To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.
