How this Policy applies and our lawful bases

Information concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation may be special category personal data. Users must not submit unnecessary intimate, medical, sexual-orientation, racial, religious, biometric, or other sensitive information.

Public content and visibility
Reviews, ratings, profile information, photographs, usernames, and other content submitted for publication may be visible to the public, accessible internationally, indexed by search engines, shared through links, and copied or archived by third parties. Users should not submit private contact details, identifying documents, financial information, or other data that is not intended for public disclosure.
Removal from AussieAffairs does not guarantee deletion of copies retained by search engines, internet archives, recipients, or other independent third parties.

Sources of personal data
We may obtain personal data directly from the individual concerned; from registered users and reviewers; from escorts, agencies, or authorised representatives; from public advertisements, websites, and social-media profiles; from technical observation of use of the website; from service providers; and from complainants, regulators, law-enforcement bodies, or professional advisers.

How do we protect your personal information?
AussieAffairs uses proportionate technical and organisational safeguards, which may include access controls, password hashing, encryption in transit, secure hosting, logging, monitoring, backups, least-privilege access, and procedures for responding to security incidents. Hosting data in the European Union does not by itself determine which privacy law applies.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Users should use a unique password and promptly report suspected account compromise or a personal-data incident to info@aussieaffairs.com. Where required by law, AussieAffairs will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals of a qualifying personal-data breach.

These rights are not absolute and may be limited where information must be retained, where disclosure would affect another person's rights, or where a legal exemption applies.

Applicable data protection laws
AussieAffairs is operated from the European Union. The EU GDPR and mandatory privacy laws in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, or other locations may also apply depending on the individuals, processing, targeting, and services involved. Hosting in the EU does not by itself make the EU GDPR the primary governing law.
Where local law provides additional or conflicting mandatory rights, AussieAffairs will apply those requirements to the extent applicable. Before publication, confirm whether an EU, or other local representative must be appointed and add the representative's contact details if required.
Cookies & Tracking
AussieAffairs uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies. Strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent where they are essential to provide a service requested by the user, maintain security, authenticate accounts, remember age-gate or privacy choices, or operate core website functions.
Non-essential analytics or advertising technologies, including Google Analytics 4 if enabled, will be activated only after the user gives any consent required by applicable law. These technologies may process device, browser, approximate-location, referral, interaction, consent, and cookie-identifier data. Continuing to browse the website is not treated as consent to non-essential cookies.
Users must be offered a clear choice to accept or reject non-essential technologies and may withdraw or change consent at any time through https://aussieaffairs.com/privacy. No marketing or behavioural-advertising cookies should be used unless they are accurately disclosed and valid consent has been obtained.
Content Removal Requests
A person identified or depicted in a review, profile, or image may submit a privacy, correction, restriction, or removal request to info@aussieaffairs.com.The request should include the exact URL, identification of the disputed data, the requested outcome, the legal or factual basis, and evidence of identity or authority where reasonably required.
Reports involving a person under 18, non-consensual intimate imagery, threats, trafficking, extortion, or immediate danger should be marked “URGENT”. AussieAffairs may temporarily disable content while investigating, seek information from the uploader, preserve evidence, and notify competent authorities where required. Privacy requests are assessed separately from copyright, defamation, and contractual complaints, although the same content may raise more than one issue.
https://aussieaffairs.com/copyright-removal
Removal from AussieAffairs does not guarantee removal from independent search engine caches, archives, or third-party copies.
Adult content, images, and age-related data
AussieAffairs is intended only for adults and may contain reviews and images involving adult nudity. The age-gate may store a necessary cookie or similar record showing the user's age-confirmation choice. This record is used to control access and demonstrate operation of the age-gate; it is not proof of the user's identity or age unless a separate verification process is completed.
Images and profiles may identify the person depicted. AussieAffairs does not currently use facial recognition or biometric identification. If such technology is introduced, this Policy and the lawful basis will be updated before use, and any explicit consent or other condition required by law will be obtained.
Users must not submit images involving minors, non-consensual intimate images, or images for which they lack the necessary copyright and publication permissions. Personal data connected with reports, permissions, age assurances, or takedown requests may be retained as described in the Data retention section.
Automated tools and moderation
AussieAffairs may use automated or rule-based tools to assist with spam detection, security monitoring, duplicate detection, prohibited-keyword screening, risk prioritisation, and analytics. These tools may flag content or accounts for review. AussieAffairs does not currently make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects; material moderation and account decisions are subject to human review.

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, service providers, features, or processing. The revised version will show a new “Last updated” date. Where a change materially affects individuals, we will provide a prominent website notice or email notification where appropriate and obtain fresh consent if the law requires it.
