This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, disclose, store, and protect information when you visit kinkdatinghub.com, read our pages, interact with our content, or click links from this website to Shame, shame.to, or other third-party websites.
Kink Dating Hub is a non-explicit information and discovery website for adults interested in kink-aware dating, BDSM social networking, fetish communities, privacy, consent, and adult community discovery. This website is connected to Shame but is not the full Shame platform.
Current shame.to policy states that shame.to is intended for adult persons aged 18+ and that use is prohibited for users under 18. If you are under 18, do not use this website or click through to Shame.
1. Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to kinkdatinghub.com and related 1000&1 Pages content operated for the Kink Dating Hub by Shame project.
This Privacy Policy does not fully govern the separate Shame platform at shame.to. If you register on Shame, log in, create a profile, upload content, use communities, messages, ads, videos, live streams, creator features, or other Shame functionality, Shame’s own Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Legal Notice, DMCA policy, and platform rules may also apply.
Relevant Shame legal pages may include:
