Selfgags
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Selfgags (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit selfgags.com (the “Site”), why, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. It also serves as our Cookie Policy.
In short
- No accounts, purchases, comments, uploads or newsletters on the Site, so we never ask for your name, address or payment details.
- We collect technical data (such as IP address, device and browser information and pages viewed) through server logs, Google Analytics and affiliate tracking, including cookies.
- Non-essential cookies are controlled through our cookie consent banner, and you can change your choice at any time.
- When you click through to a third-party platform, that platform handles any data you give it under its own privacy policy.
- We do not sell your personal information for money.
Who We Are and Scope
The operator of the Site is the “controller” (or “business”) responsible for personal information processed through the Site. Contact us about anything in this policy at admin@selfgags.com.
This policy covers information processed when you visit the Site and when you email us. It does not cover third-party platforms you reach through links on the Site, including the platforms where full-length videos are sold. They have their own privacy policies.
Information We Collect
The Site has no accounts or forms, so we collect only a limited amount of information, almost all of it automatically.
Server and security logs
Our hosting servers automatically record technical information when you request a page: IP address, date and time, page or file requested, referring URL, browser type and version, operating system, and HTTP status and error codes.
Device and usage information
Through cookies and similar technologies (see Cookies), we and our analytics and affiliate partners may collect: device type, screen size, browser and language settings; approximate location (country, region or city) derived from your IP address; pages visited, trailers played, time spent and navigation within the Site; links clicked, including outbound and affiliate links; and online identifiers such as cookie IDs.
Affiliate tracking information
When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate program or platform records that the click came from the Site, usually with a cookie or a referral parameter in the link. If you later buy or subscribe on the platform, it may report that a referred sale or sign-up occurred so that the referral can be credited. We generally receive aggregated or transaction-level reports (such as date, product and amount). We do not receive your payment details, and we do not ask platforms for your name or contact details.
Your consent choices
Our cookie consent banner records your cookie choices (for example, accepted or rejected categories and the date), so that we can respect and demonstrate them.
Information you send us
If you email us (for example with a question, content report, copyright notice or privacy request), we receive your email address, the content of your message, any attachments and any other details you include.
Information we do not collect
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. We do not ask for, and ask you not to send, sensitive information about you. Note that the fact that a device visited an adult website may itself be considered sensitive in some jurisdictions, and we treat all visit data with that in mind.
How We Use Information and Our Legal Bases
We use information only for the purposes below. Where the GDPR, the UK GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on the legal bases shown.
| Purpose | Information | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Delivering the Site, playing trailers and remembering basic settings (such as your age confirmation and cookie choices) | Server logs, device information, strictly necessary cookies | Legitimate interests in operating the Site; strictly necessary storage does not require consent |
| Keeping the Site secure, preventing abuse, scraping, fraud and attacks, and enforcing our Terms | Server and security logs, IP address | Legitimate interests in security; legal obligations where applicable |
| Measuring audience and improving the Site with Google Analytics | Analytics cookies, usage and device information, approximate location | Consent, given through our cookie consent banner |
| Tracking referrals to third-party platforms, crediting sales and detecting affiliate fraud | Affiliate cookies and referral parameters, click data, platform reports | Consent, given through our cookie consent banner, where cookies are involved; otherwise legitimate interests in funding the Site |
| Responding to emails, content reports, copyright notices and privacy requests | Your email address and message | Legitimate interests in responding; legal obligations (for example under copyright and data protection law) |
| Complying with the law, responding to lawful requests, and establishing, exercising or defending legal claims | Any of the above, as necessary | Legal obligations; legitimate interests in protecting our rights |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed them against your rights and concluded the processing is limited, expected and proportionate. You can object at any time (see Your Privacy Rights). We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
Cookies and Your Consent
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage and link parameters. We use them in these categories:
| Category | Purpose | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Functional / strictly necessary | Making the Site work and keeping it secure; remembering your age confirmation and your cookie consent choices | Us, our hosting and security providers, and our consent banner |
| Statistics (analytics) | Counting visits and traffic sources, and understanding which pages, trailers and links are used | Google (Google Analytics) |
| Marketing (affiliate) | Recording that you reached a third-party platform through the Site, so a resulting sale or sign-up can be credited | Affiliate programs and third-party platforms, usually after you click an outbound link |
Google Analytics typically sets first-party cookies whose names begin with _ga, which by default can last up to two years. Affiliate cookies are usually set on the platform’s own domain when you click through, and their duration is set by that platform.
Our cookie consent banner
When you first visit, a cookie consent banner lets you accept, reject or choose which non-essential cookie categories to allow. Where the law requires consent, statistics and marketing cookies are only used after you agree. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the consent settings available on the Site (for example the “Manage consent” button or link). Withdrawing consent does not affect processing before you withdrew it.
Other ways to control cookies
- Browser settings: most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies, including third-party cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Site from working.
- Google Analytics opt-out: install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Private browsing: cookies are deleted when you close a private or incognito window.
Blocking affiliate cookies does not prevent you from buying on a third-party platform. It only means the referral may not be credited.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the Site. It collects information such as pages viewed, time on site, device and browser details, approximate location and how you arrived at the Site. According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses; approximate location is derived from the IP address before it is discarded.
We use Google Analytics reports in aggregated form. We do not use them to identify individual visitors, and we do not combine analytics data with information that would identify you by name.
Learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in Google’s Privacy Policy. To opt out, use our consent settings or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Who We Share Information With
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with:
- Service providers that help run the Site, such as hosting, video delivery, security, consent-management and email providers, acting on our behalf and instructions.
- Google, as our analytics provider.
- Affiliate programs and third-party platforms, which receive click and referral information when you follow an affiliate link, and may share sales reports with us. Once you are on a platform, it is responsible for the data it collects from you.
- Rights holders and platforms, where necessary to process a copyright notice, counter-notice or content report.
- Authorities and others, where we believe disclosure is required by law or legal process, or is necessary to protect the rights, safety or property of any person, to investigate suspected child sexual abuse material or other illegal content, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- Successors, if the Site is sold, transferred or reorganised, subject to this policy.
“Selling” and “sharing” under some privacy laws
Some privacy laws, such as the CCPA/CPRA, define “selling”, “sharing” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough that third-party analytics or affiliate cookies may fall within those terms even though no money changes hands for your data. You can opt out at any time by rejecting statistics and marketing cookies in our consent settings, by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, by enabling an opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control, or by emailing us. Where applicable law requires it, we treat a recognised opt-out preference signal as a valid opt-out request for that browser.
International Data Transfers
The Site serves a worldwide audience, and our service providers, Google and affiliate platforms may process information in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws.
Where the law requires a safeguard for such transfers, we rely on an appropriate mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or a recognised data privacy framework, or standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities, together with any supplementary measures required. You can ask us for more information by email.
How Long We Keep Information
- Server and security logs: a limited period needed for security and troubleshooting, then deleted or anonymised, unless needed longer to investigate a specific incident.
- Google Analytics data: according to the retention setting configured in Google Analytics (Google Analytics 4 allows a maximum of 14 months for user-level and event-level data). Aggregated, non-identifying reports may be kept longer.
- Consent records: for as long as needed to demonstrate your choices, and renewed periodically as the consent banner requires.
- Cookies: for the periods described in Cookies, unless you delete them earlier.
- Affiliate reports: as long as needed for accounting, tax and commission-dispute purposes.
- Emails and requests: as long as needed to deal with them, and longer only where a record is needed to meet legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (for example, records of copyright notices).
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access restrictions and keeping software up to date. No website or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a personal data breach affects you, we will notify you and the relevant authorities where the law requires.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights. We respect these rights for all visitors where reasonably possible, wherever you are.
Under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and similar laws
- Access to your personal data and a copy of it;
- Rectification of inaccurate data;
- Erasure of your data in certain circumstances;
- Restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
- Objection to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling;
- Portability of data you provided to us;
- Withdrawal of consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing; and
- Complaint to the data protection supervisory authority where you live or work, or where you believe a breach occurred. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.
Under the CCPA/CPRA and similar privacy laws
In the past 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information: identifiers (such as IP address and cookie IDs); internet or other electronic network activity (such as pages viewed, trailers played and links clicked); approximate geolocation derived from IP address; and, if you email us, the contact details and content you provide. Sources, purposes and recipients are described in this policy. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would create a right to limit its use.
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to: know and access the personal information we have collected about you; delete it; correct it; opt out of its “sale” or “sharing” and of targeted advertising; appeal our decision on your request (reply to our response with the word “Appeal”); and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
Other privacy laws
Many other jurisdictions give similar rights, such as access, correction, deletion and objection, and the right to complain to a local regulator. We honour these rights as required by the law that applies to you.
How to Exercise Your Rights
Email admin@selfgags.com with the subject line “[Selfgags] Privacy Request”, telling us which right you want to exercise and where you live. You may use an authorised agent, who must provide proof of their authority.
Because the Site has no accounts and we do not link visit data to names, we can often only find data relating to you if you give us identifiers we hold, such as the IP address you used with the approximate date and time of your visit, or the value of your Google Analytics cookie (beginning _ga). We may ask for this to verify your request and avoid disclosing someone else’s data, and we will not ask for more than is reasonably necessary. If we cannot link any data to you, we will tell you.
We respond within the time required by applicable law, normally within one month under the GDPR and UK GDPR or 45 days under the CCPA/CPRA, extendable where the law allows. Requests are free unless manifestly unfounded or excessive. For data held by Google or by a third-party platform, you can also contact them directly.
Do Not Track and Opt-Out Signals
There is no common standard for responding to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals, so the Site does not change its behaviour in response to DNT alone. Where applicable law requires it, we treat a recognised opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for that browser.
You can limit tracking at any time by rejecting statistics and marketing cookies in our consent settings, installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, blocking third-party cookies in your browser, or using private browsing.
Children
18+ only
The Site is strictly for adults aged 18 or over, or the age of majority where they live, if higher. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has accessed the Site or sent us personal information, contact admin@selfgags.com and we will delete it.
We strongly recommend parental-control tools. The Site carries the RTA (“Restricted To Adults”) label to help those tools block it. See Parental Controls in our Terms.
Third-Party Platforms
Full-length videos are sold and hosted by third-party platforms. When you click an outbound link, the platform may collect information from you directly, including account, payment and contact details. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their privacy policies before giving them any information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Site, our partners or the law. The updated version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. If changes are significant, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention, and where the law requires your consent to a change, we will ask for it, for example through the cookie consent banner.
