1.3 Information from Third Parties

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymised usage statistics. Google may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policy. We also display advertisements from third-party ad networks that may collect data independently.

• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or illegal activity;
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area, our legal bases for processing personal data are:

• Contract: processing necessary to provide your account and the services you request;
• Legitimate interests: analytics, security monitoring, and fraud prevention;
• Consent: non-essential cookies and analytics (you can withdraw consent at any time via your browser settings);
• Legal obligation: where we are required to retain or disclose data by law.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service providers: hosting, email delivery (Mailtrap), and analytics providers acting as data processors under written agreements;
• Advertising networks: third-party ad networks may receive anonymised data to serve relevant ads;
• Law enforcement: when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of PornPic.com or others.

5. Data Retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. Server logs are retained for up to 90 days. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including password hashing (bcrypt), HTTPS, and CSRF protection. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you;
• Rectification: request correction of inaccurate data;
• Erasure: request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten");

• Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format;
• Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests;

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond within 30 days.
