Privacy Policy
1Introduction
FapWiki ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. This policy is designed to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / RODO) and other applicable data-protection legislation. By accessing or using FapWiki you acknowledge the practices described herein.
2Data Controller
The data controller responsible for processing your personal data is FapWiki, reachable at [email protected]. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you may exercise your rights under the GDPR by contacting us at the same address.
3Data We Collect
Personal Data
When you visit FapWiki we may automatically collect your IP address. This information is used solely for operational purposes (e.g., security, abuse prevention) and is not used to personally identify individual users.
Usage & Analytics Data
We use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to gather anonymized information about how visitors interact with our website. This data helps us understand traffic patterns, improve performance, and enhance the user experience.
4Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Art. 6)
Under the GDPR we process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) — maintaining site security, preventing abuse, and analyzing aggregate usage trends to improve the service.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — where we use cookies or analytics trackers that are not strictly necessary, we rely on your explicit consent obtained through our cookie banner.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — where we are required to retain or disclose data to comply with applicable law.
5How We Use Your Data
- Operating, maintaining, and improving our website and services.
- Analyzing aggregate usage trends and site performance.
- Complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
- Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud or security issues.
- Communicating service updates or responding to inquiries.
6Third-Party Sharing
We may share data with:
- Analytics providers — such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity — for behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and performance monitoring.
- Law enforcement or regulatory bodies — where disclosure is required by applicable law or legal process.
This site may use reCAPTCHA, subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We may also use Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising for session replay, heatmaps, and behavioral analytics. For details, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
7International Data Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers (e.g., Google, Microsoft) are based outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the service provider's participation in recognized data-transfer frameworks. By using FapWiki you acknowledge these transfers.
8Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. IP addresses collected for security purposes are stored in hashed form and periodically purged. Analytics data is retained in anonymized or aggregated form and cannot be linked back to individual users.
9Security
We employ industry-standard measures — including password hashing and IP anonymization — to safeguard your data. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
10Your Rights (GDPR Art. 15–22)
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights under the GDPR:
- Access (Art. 15) — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification (Art. 16) — Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure (Art. 17) — Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.
- Restriction (Art. 18) — Request that we limit the processing of your data under certain circumstances.
- Data portability (Art. 20) — Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection (Art. 21) — Object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time.
- Withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
- Complaint — You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
