Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2026

This policy explains how AFTERDARK handles information when you use the site.

Information you provide

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message. We use it to respond to your request and operate the site.

Browser and device information

The site and the services used to deliver it may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, timestamps, referring pages, and request logs for security, delivery, troubleshooting, and service operation.

Age-gate preference

AFTERDARK currently uses browser session storage to remember that a visitor has passed the 18+ entry screen during that browsing session.

Video and third-party services

Videos, embeds, content-delivery services, and future advertising or affiliate partners may receive technical information when their content loads or when you interact with their links. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links may contain tracking information so a partner can attribute a visit, registration, purchase, or other qualifying action to AFTERDARK. We will disclose compensated relationships where required.

Data retention and security

We retain information we receive directly only as reasonably necessary for site operations, support, recordkeeping, security, or legal obligations. No method of Internet transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure.

Children

AFTERDARK is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from minors.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as our services and vendors change. Privacy questions may be sent to [email protected].
