Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the operator of HolyTaboo (https://holytaboo.com) ("we," "us," "our") handles information when you visit or interact with the Website. It should be read together with our Terms of Use.

The public Website does not require registration, login, or paid membership. We do not operate user profiles for browsing.

Information we collect

Information you send us: If you email us (legal questions, abuse reports, privacy requests, or similar), we receive your email address, message content, and any attachments or identifiers you choose to include.

Technical and usage data: Our hosting, CDN, and security providers may automatically process data such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, date and time of requests, and error logs. We use this to deliver the Website, prevent abuse, debug issues, and understand aggregate traffic patterns.

View counts and browsing signals: When you watch a video, we may generate a pseudonymous browser identifier (via fingerprinting techniques) and store which videos were viewed, including date and time. We use this to count views fairly (once per browser per video per day), improve site performance, and develop future recommendation features. We do not require an account to browse, and this identifier is not used to identify you by name or contact details.

Cookies and local storage: We and third parties may store small files or identifiers on your device. See the section below.

Cookies and similar technologies

Depending on how the Website is configured, cookies and similar tools may be used to:

• Operate core functionality (for example, security or load balancing).
• Remember preferences that improve your visit.
• Measure audience and performance (analytics).
• Deliver, cap frequency of, and measure advertisements.
• Attribute clicks to affiliate or live cam partner programs.

You can limit cookies through your browser or device settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features, embed playback, or ad relevance.

Third-party services

When you watch an embedded video, click an ad, or follow an affiliate link, those third parties may collect data under their own privacy policies. This includes video hosts, ad networks, affiliate platforms, analytics vendors, and payment processors on partner sites (not on HolyTaboo itself). We do not control their practices.

How we use information

We use information to:

• Provide, maintain, and secure the Website.
• Respond to your emails and legal or abuse reports.
• Enforce our Terms and protect users, the public, and our rights.
• Comply with lawful requests from authorities when required.
• Improve catalog quality, search, and layout in aggregate form.

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product. We may earn revenue through advertising and affiliate arrangements described on the Website and in our Terms.

Why we process data (legal bases)

Where privacy laws require a legal basis, we rely on: (a) performance of the service you request by visiting the Website; (b) our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving an adult-content aggregator, balanced against your rights; (c) compliance with legal obligations; and (d) your consent where required (for example, for certain non-essential cookies if we implement a consent banner).

Sharing of information

We may share information with:

• Infrastructure and security vendors that process data on our instructions (hosting, CDN, email).
• Advertising, analytics, and affiliate partners when you interact with their tags, links, or embeds.
• Law enforcement, regulators, or courts when we believe disclosure is required by law or necessary to address illegal content, fraud, or threats to safety.
• Successors in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization of the Website, subject to this Policy.

International processing

Data may be processed in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have different data-protection rules. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including security logs, correspondence, and legal holds. Retention periods vary by data type and legal requirements.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, or to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Because we do not use accounts for browsing, we may need you to verify your request (for example, by emailing from an address you previously used to contact us). Send privacy requests to [email protected].

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to them; we treat DNT according to applicable law and our current technical setup.

Children

HolyTaboo is for adults only. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has contacted us, email [email protected] so we can delete relevant correspondence.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy by posting a revised version on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Website after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy, to the extent permitted by law.
