a. Types of Data That We Automatically Collect
In addition to the data we receive from all Website visitors, we also process other data from registered users.
The exact amount of this data depends on how you use the Service.
Personal information that you publicly upload to your profile or other areas of the Service will be visible to other users (and searchable via the search function within the Service). If you choose additional settings for the publication of your data, this information will also be accessible to users who are not logged in. The privacy settings can be determined by you in your profile settings.

However, you may also provide additional personal information in your Profile, such as physical characteristics, personal interests or detailed information about your sexual preferences, political opinion or ideological beliefs.

vi. Data for Age Verification and Fake Detection:
To perform the age verification (FSK18 check), we need a video from you. You must be in the video. In addition, your date of birth must be clearly visible on an official identity card. This way, we can verify that you are in fact of age.
Alternatively you can do the age verification also in connection with a Schufa information.
If you are suspected to be a fake, you must have your profile verified. To do this, you need to upload an image that shows your face. You must also visibly hold a note in your hand stating your user name and the current date.
vii. Social Sign-On:
You can also use the "Login with Facebook" function to create your profile. If you choose this function, you send us your username on the social network at www.facebook.com ("Facebook"), your email address with which you registered on Facebook, as well as your gender, first name and your profile picture.
We process your data exclusively for the following defined purposes:
- to allow you and other users to use the Service and to ensure its functionality
- to provide you with additional Services that you have purchased
- to keep you up to date with relevant information about our Service and to send you system notifications to the e-mail address you have provided.
- to adapt the provision of the Service to your needs
- to display advertising tailored to your interests (including participation in prize competitions, discount campaigns, user surveys for market research and sweepstakes)
- to continuously improve the Service offer and to correct errors
- to detect and prevent fraud attempts
- to ensure the protection of minors
- to enable the exchange with customer Service in case of questions
- to check information published on your profile or shared by you through the Service
- to disclose your personal data to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so
- to assert legal claims and to defend against legal disputes
- to ensure IT security and operation of our systems
- to assist the competent authorities in discovering and prosecuting criminal offences including, but not limited to, offences causing bodily injury or death of the victims
In doing so, we rely on various legal bases in accordance with the so-called General Data Protection Regulation, a European Union legal framework for the standardisation of data protection law (“GDPR” for short). We refer in detail to the following legal bases:
Your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR)
When visiting the Website without registration, you agree to the cookie guidelines in the pop-up. If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes, this consent ensures the legality of the processing. By registering and creating your profile, you expressly agree to its use for the purposes described in detail in this Privacy Notice by ticking the box before sending off the registration form. So, if we process your data, it is because you have expressly allowed us to do so when you registered. Your consent is therefore the most important legal basis for the processing of your personal data by us. If you provide us with information about your sexual orientation or preferences, we will process this data exclusively on the basis of your consent.
Fulfilment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR)
At the same time, the processing of personal data takes place also for the provision of the Service and in the context of the performance of our contract with you. In many cases, the processing is not only justified by your consent, but also because it is necessary to fulfil our contract with you: In order to fulfil your claim to the Services described in more detail in our General Terms and Conditions, it may be necessary, for example, to process your personal data. For example, if you wish to pay for your Vip or Premium membership the processing of your payment information is required for this.
Protecting vital interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR)
We invoke this legal basis in narrowly defined case constellations (e.g. reported suicide announcements) where the processing is necessary for the protection of the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Safeguarding legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR)
By registering to use the Service, you consent to the processing of your data in accordance with this Privacy Notice. That is why we process your data in principle, because you have allowed us to do so. However, there are some cases in which we would be entitled to process your data without your consent because it is necessary to protect our legitimate interests (or the interests of third parties). In this respect, the purposes for which we process your data also represent legitimate interests. We pursue legitimate interests, for example, if we check images or texts for content relevant under Applicable criminal law or if we take measures to secure our “virtual domiciliary rights” as provider of the Service and in protection of other users. In these cases, we will not ask you in advance whether you agree to this processing, since processing is otherwise permitted by law.
Legal requirements or in the public interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. c & e GDPR)
In addition, we are legally obliged to provide certain information to criminal prosecution or tax authorities in individual cases upon request.
We treat your personal data with care and confidentiality and will only pass them on to third parties to the extent described below and not beyond.
a. To Other Users:
As our Service is a platform for getting to know each other, it is in the nature of things that we forward your profile data as well as other data (e.g. news you write and other communication you have with other users and the community) at your request and on your behalf to the corresponding users of the Service.
b. To Group Companies:
We transfer data to affiliated companies which form part of the same group of companies as us within the framework of strict protection requirements. This is the case, for example, when you make a customer service request. We will then forward this request to SmH ServiceCenter.de GmbH, a service company associated with us. In addition, our development company, TheNetCircle Network Co. Ltd. as well as the debt collection partners Compay GmbH and Faircollect GmbH and the community management and marketing at Playamedia S.L. receive the necessary information to ensure the security and functionality of the Service and the handling of payments.
In addition, we transmit data to external service providers who enable us to provide the Service to you. These include hosting providers, delivery service providers, payment service providers and providers of analytics platforms. We require each of these service providers to comply with strict rules about the security of your personal information when processing personal information on our behalf. Such processing operations are therefore based on contractual clauses guaranteeing an adequate level of protection for your data.

Facebook SDK
The Facebook SDK (USA, Privacy Shield certified) included in our App helps us to increase the success of Facebook advertising campaigns by, for example, not displaying ads on devices on which this App is already installed. In addition, the Facebook SDK allows for various evaluations of the installation of the App and of the success of the advertising campaign. In addition, individual activities (events) of the user within the App can be analyzed in order to better define the target group for advertising campaigns, for example. For this purpose, we send Facebook pseudonymous data, such as the time, model name of the device, IP address, name of the App, a unique Ad-ID created by Facebook, and the information that the App has been started. The Advertising ID provided by the operating system of the terminal device serves as the pseudonym. The latter occurs regardless of whether the user uses Facebook or not. Facebook uses this information to create a profile for the Ad-ID along with other information and uses this profile for promotional purposes.

When purchasing on our service through the Website or mobile Website, we transfer different information to our collection partners for each payment method. Our partners are Compay GmbH, Vendo Services GmbH, Paysafecard.com Services and BS PAYONE GmbH. If you want to use paid offers via the App, you will be provided with different additional information depending on the chosen payment method. However, you will not transfer this information to us, but will transfer it directly to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store after you have given your consent to the terms and conditions and privacy policy. You make the purchases directly through the relevant store.
“Behavioral advertising" means the use of tracking measures to determine the potential interest of users in advertisements on our Website and in our App and to display them in accordance with their interests. For this we use the following features: Gender, membership type, FSK-18 status, preferences, interest in membership, number of logins and which gender a member is looking for. Members with a Premium and VIP membership have the possibility to turn off the advertising.
All servers of the Service are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), so your data do not technically leave the EEA for the time being, but the technical provision and processing of the data for the operation of the service takes place in the European Union.
However, when you submit information to us, it is legally transferred to a country outside the EEA because we are based in Hong Kong (P.R. China). In addition, our development company is also based in China, from where it has technical access to the servers in the European Union (EU).
According to the GDPR, China is a so-called "Third Country" in which no adequate level of data protection can be guaranteed in principle; there is no corresponding adequacy decision and no specific guarantees to compensate for this deficit. This means that, from a European perspective, personal data and data subjects there enjoy less protection and rights, as would be the case, for example, with processing operations in Australia, Russia or India.
If we transfer data to a third country, we generally guarantee an adequate level of data protection. This applies regardless of whether it is a transfer to an affiliated company or to another recipient (such as an external service provider). In these cases, we will ensure that the transfer is either based on approved standard contractual clauses, or that providers in the United States are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Program, or that there is another appropriate guarantee of an adequate level of data protection.
We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual or legal obligations. Thus, we store the data in principle only as long as our contractual relationship with you exists and also after termination only as far as the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and the People's Republic of China require this. If the data are no longer necessary for the fulfilment of such obligations, they shall be deleted regularly and without delay, unless their further processing is necessary for the protection of legitimate interests or for the preservation of evidence within the framework of statutes of limitations. In this sense, in particular the storage of age verification and fake suspicion photos and videos is carried out expressly for the entire duration of the contract, since we hold this data in particular for the ongoing guarantee of the protection of minors and the prevention of fraud attempts.
The data collected under 2.a are stored for 180 days. This storage period serves our protection against attacks on the systems of our service, e.g. by so-called Distributed Denial of Service attacks, in which the systems are deliberately overloaded by a large number of accesses to our service in order to interrupt the provision of our service.
You are not legally obliged to provide us with the above data. In principle, the contractual relationship that you have entered into with us by agreeing to our General Terms and Conditions does not result in any obligation to provide this personal data. However, the transmission of the compulsory data is a basic requirement for a conclusion of a contract with us. In addition, if you do not provide us with certain information or if you object to its use, you may not be able to use the Service, or only to a limited extent. This is because the service essentially only becomes "alive" through the content posted by the users.
You can assert the following rights:
Your right to information according to article 15 GDPR,
Your right to rectification according to article 16 GDPR,
Your right to erasure according to article 17 GDPR,
Your right to restriction of processing in accordance with Article 18 GDPR as well as
Your right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR.
If you have any questions in this regard, please contact customer service at [email protected].
You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible data protection supervisory authority.
a. Right of Objection in Individual Cases
In addition to the rights already mentioned, you have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests). If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
b. Right to Object to the Processing of Data for Advertising Purposes
You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data.
Please also note the information in Section 9 of this Privacy Policy: If we terminate the processing due to your objection, it may be that the service can no longer be made available to you or only to a limited extent.
The objection can be made in each case form-free and should be addressed to [email protected] if possible.
