Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The data controller is the person named in our Legal Notice (Impressum).

2. What Personal Data We Collect

Account Information

To create an account, we require only:

• Email address
• Username (freely selectable; no real-name requirement)

User Content

If you submit Stories, images, profile information, or comments, this content may contain personal data depending on what you choose to include.

Technical Data (Server Logs)

Our servers automatically process:

• IP address
• timestamps
• basic technical error and access logs
• email addresses if they appear in system events (e.g., login attempts)

These logs are required for security, troubleshooting, and stable operation.

We do not use analytics, tracking services, ad networks, or third-party cookies.

3. Cookies

This website uses only essential technical cookies, such as:

• session cookies (to keep you logged in),
• cookies storing user interface settings.

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled through the site.
We do not use marketing cookies, analytics cookies, or cookies from external services.

You will be informed about the use of essential cookies when you first visit the site.

4. Why We Process Your Data

We process personal data only for:

• operating your account,
• publishing and managing content you submit,
• maintaining website functionality and security,

Legal bases under GDPR, BGB:

• Art. 6(1)(b): providing the user account and services,
• Art. 6(1)(a): your consent when submitting content,

5. Deleting Your Data

You may request deletion of your account at any time by emailing: admin@gaykinkystories.com

When we delete your account:

• your Stories and uploaded images are removed unless you ask us to keep them;
• comments you posted remain visible but are anonymized.

Technical server logs may continue to contain your IP address or email address for a limited period, as these logs are necessary for security and cannot always be modified retroactively.

You have the right to:

• access your personal data,
• request correction or deletion,
• restrict or object to processing,
