💼 Privacy Policy

Who we are

We are Real Desperation - an adult media catalogue service based in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We do not produce media - we only organise and distribute existing content through our website: www.realdesperation.com.

What personal data we collect and why

Email address - you will be asked to provide us with your email address during the creation of a user account. Your email will be stored on our secure server, and is not displayed publicly anywhere on our site - it is only only viewable by yourself and the Admin. Its primary purpose is for you to use when logging in to your account - however in exceptional circumstances the Admin may use it to contact you. This will only ever happen if: we cannot reach you via the on-site message centre, and it is absolutely necessary that you are contacted. We do not share your email with any third parties, and if you deactivate your account, your email will be permanently removed from our database.

Cookies - when you visit this website, your visit is tracked by cookies. A cookie is a small data file with a unique identifier, and does not include any personal information, and by itself may not be used to identify anyone. These cookies last for 90 days, and include information such as the ID of the last video you watched. Cookies will also be set if you close a notification such as the "over 18" warning on your first visit.

If you have an account and you login (sign in) to the site, we will set two cookies with your user ID and a unique key code. These cookies tell the server you have access to increased site functionality, and allow you to stay logged in and access the site across multiple devices - each of which will be set an identical pair of cookies. These cookies do not include any personal information, and by themselves may not be used to identify anyone. Each cookie last for 90 days, and will expire if you logout (sign out) of your account on one device.

Content from other websites - When you choose to watch a video on Real Desperation, we may display the same video embedded video from another website by default. This is done in order to both save bandwidth, and respect the orginal producer or uploader. Watching an embedded video is like visiting the other website - it may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the video, including tracking it if you have an account with the other website. Real Desperation has no control over this, and you are subject to the individual site(s)' privacy polic(ies) on these occasions.

Who we share your data with

We will do our best to comply with any request for information by law enforcement upon recieving a warrant. Otherwise, we do not share your data with anyone else.

How long we retain your data

You are provided with the option to disable your account at any time, which can be found in your user settings. If you disable your account, your email address and encrypted password will be removed from our database, and only your chosen username will remain - though it will be inaccessible.

If you make a topic or post on our forums, comment on a video, or send a message, the contents and metadata of all of these communications are retained indefinitely.

What rights you have over your data

If you have a user account on this site, you can request to view or erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes. You can do this by making a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to the email address provided on the right-hand side of this page.

Protecting your data

Your username, email address, encrypted password, and other information pertaining to your account which is not public-facing, are stored on an encrypted server. While we take due care in securing your information to the best of our ability, we cannot ensure or warrant absolute security of any information or content. Any information or content provided to us is done at your own risk.

In the event of a data breach, we will notify users via a site-wide notice and provide as much detail as possible.

We reserve the right to modify or update this document as necessary.
