DirectDesire ("we", "us", "our") operates a private, invite-only lifestyle community. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services. By applying for membership or using the platform, you consent to the practices described here.
We collect information you provide directly, including:
We use your information to operate and improve the community, including to: create and manage your account; display your profile to other approved members; enable messaging, travel, and event features; review membership applications and verify identity; maintain safety and enforce our community guidelines; and communicate important service updates.
Verification photos are used solely to confirm that applicants are genuine and of legal age. Verification photos are reviewed by our admin team and are not displayed publicly. Profile and album photos you upload may be visible to other approved members according to the visibility setting you choose (public or private). You may delete your photos at any time. We do not sell, license, or share member photos with third parties.
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only: with other approved members, as part of normal platform functionality (e.g. your public profile); with service providers who host our infrastructure, bound by confidentiality obligations; or where required by law, valid legal process, or to protect the safety of our members.
We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect site functionality.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Members inactive for 12 months may be removed. When you delete your account, we remove or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal or safety reasons.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten"); object to or restrict certain processing; request a portable copy of your data; and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted password storage and access controls. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong, unique password and keep your login credentials confidential.
