PRIVACY AND COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: 01-03-2022 or the date of user acceptance.

Welcome to Dirty Code's Privacy and Cookie Policy. This Policy explains how Dirty Code (“Dirty Code” or “we” or “us”) processes and puts you in control of your Personal Data. When we talk about processing Personal Data, we mean how we collect, use, share, and retain Personal Data. This policy covers these activities across all of our services (“Services” or “Dirty Code Services”).

This policy covers the following Dirty Code Services:

• The websites https://dirtycode.io (“Dirty Code Site”),
• And features such as Private Messaging.

Our Commitment to Privacy. As a global social networking site, the Dirty Code Site allows you to share sensitive information about yourself, including your sexual orientation and precise location, with us, the service providers who assist in the running of our services, and other Dirty Code users. It's our goal to put you in control of as much of the personal data you share with the Dirty Code Services as possible. We recommend you read this Privacy and Cookie Policy, and our Terms and Conditions, carefully. From time-to-time within the Dirty Code Services, you will see pop-up privacy notices meant to help you understand what you are participating in when you opt-in to certain features or services.

PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT - WHERE, WHEN, AND HOW

When you use the Dirty Code Services, we collect Personal Data about you. At Dirty Code, “Personal Data” means any information that allows someone to identify you directly. You choose to provide the majority of this data. We may collect data about your interactions, use, and experiences with our services and receive information from third parties.

• Personal Data You Are Required to Provide. When you set up an account, we require that you provide limited Personal Data
  • Account Credentials. In order to use the Dirty Code Services, you are required to provide an Account Authentication Mechanism (email) including for authentication and/or verification purposes.

The Dirty Code Site is a social networking platform that is designed to allow users to connect and share information. When you use the Dirty Code Services, your Community Profile Information is public, meaning other users of the Dirty Code Site can see your Profile Information and other Personal Data (including sensitive personal data) posted by you. For example, other users can search for you, search for your profile characteristics, see if you've viewed their profile, or see you listed as being within their vicinity. Do not include information in your profile that you want to keep private. While the Dirty Code Site permits you to make certain items (e.g., Profile Information, preferences, or other information) non-public, sophisticated users who use the Dirty Code Site in an unauthorized manner may be able to obtain this information and may be able to determine your identity. You should carefully consider what Personal Data to include in your Community Profile, and you can review and change that information at any time by accessing the “My Profile” or “Settings” section of the Site.
  • Feedback/Support. If you provide us feedback or contact customer support, we collect your name and email address and possibly other Personal Data (e.g. IP address), as well as any other content that you send to us in order to reply and address any issue.

If you send messages, you will be providing Dirty Code with your Personal Data as well as the user who views your message.
