Privacy Policy

At ShemaleEscortSweden.com (“the Website”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), privacy and the secure processing of personal data are taken seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used and protected, and what rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Swedish data protection law, under the supervision of Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY). If you do not agree with this Policy, you must not use the Website.

The Policy may be updated from time to time, for example to reflect legal changes or adjustments in how the Website operates. When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date will be revised and, where appropriate, additional notice may be provided. Continued use of the Website after publication of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated version.

1. Information collected

Information is collected only to operate the Website, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.

Information you provide directly may include:

account details such as email address, username or nickname, and password when an account is registered;
profile and listing information if you act as an Advertiser, such as city or region, descriptive texts, photos you upload, and contact or availability details you choose to publish;
content of messages sent through contact forms or other channels (support requests, reports, feedback).

Information collected automatically may include:

technical data such as IP address, device type, browser type and version, operating system, language settings, access date and time, pages viewed, and referring URLs;
log and diagnostic data used to monitor performance, detect errors, and strengthen security.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

maintain sessions and authentication;
remember preferences (for example language);
compile aggregated statistics about visits and Website usage.

Cookies can be managed in browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some Website features.

Limited data may also be received from third‑party service providers (hosting, security tools, analytics) to the extent necessary to operate and protect the Website.

2. Purposes and legal bases

Personal data is processed only for specific, legitimate purposes and in line with GDPR principles: lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, and storage limitation.

Main purposes include:

providing access to the Website, creating and managing user accounts, and enabling the publication and display of Advertiser profiles;
supporting search, filtering, and navigation functions for listings;
communicating with you about your account, responding to enquiries, and providing technical or customer support;
maintaining security, preventing and investigating abuse, suspicious activity, and fraud, and protecting the Website’s integrity;
improving the Website and user experience based on aggregated and anonymised data;
fulfilling legal obligations under Swedish and EU law, including responding to legitimate requests from competent authorities.

Processing may rely on one or more legal bases under GDPR:

performance of a contract (for example, operating your account and profile);
compliance with legal obligations (for example, record‑keeping, responding to regulatory requests);
legitimate interests (for example, Website security and improvement), provided that these do not override your fundamental rights;
your consent for specific activities (for example certain cookies or optional communications), which can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

3. Sharing and disclosure of data

Personal data is not sold.

Public content:
If information is published in a profile or listing, that information becomes visible to other visitors and may be indexed by search engines or accessed by third parties. Only information that you are comfortable sharing publicly and that does not violate law or third‑party rights should be published.

Service providers:
Data may be shared with trusted third‑party providers (such as hosting companies, content delivery networks, analytics services, security solutions, and email/notification providers) acting on documented instructions and bound by contractual obligations of confidentiality and security.

Legal/regulatory reasons:
Data may be disclosed where there is a good‑faith belief that this is reasonably necessary to:

comply with applicable laws, court orders, or regulatory requirements;
respond to lawful requests from competent authorities;
protect the rights, property, or safety of the Website, its owners, users, or third parties;
investigate suspected breaches, fraud, or unlawful activity and help prevent them.

Business changes:
In the event of a reorganisation, merger, transfer of assets, or similar transaction, personal data may be transferred to a successor entity, subject to GDPR and Swedish data protection requirements.

4. Data retention

Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or for the periods required or permitted by law.

Account and profile data are generally retained while the account is active.
When deletion of an account is requested, personal data is deleted or anonymised within a reasonable time, except where longer retention is required (for example for legal claims, bookkeeping, or tax obligations).
Technical logs and anonymised statistics may be retained for longer in aggregated form that does not directly identify individuals.

5. Your rights under GDPR and Swedish law

Under GDPR and Swedish data protection law, and subject to statutory conditions, you may have the following rights:

Right to information and access: to obtain confirmation whether your personal data is being processed and, where so, access to that data and information about the processing.
Right to rectification: to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): in certain circumstances, to request deletion of your personal data.
Right to restriction of processing: to request that processing is restricted in specific situations.
Right to data portability: to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format and, where technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller.
Right to object: to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Requests to exercise rights can be submitted via the contact details provided on the Website, with a clear description of the request. Additional information may be requested to verify identity before responding. Requests will be handled in accordance with GDPR and Swedish law within applicable time limits.

If you believe that data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) or, where relevant, another supervisory authority in the EU/EEA.

6. International transfers

Servers or service providers may be located outside your country and, in some cases, outside the EU/EEA. When personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards required by GDPR are applied, such as:

adequacy decisions of the European Commission;
Standard Contractual Clauses;
other approved transfer mechanisms.

By using the Website, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to other jurisdictions, while remaining protected as described in this Policy and in accordance with applicable law.

7. Data security

Technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures may include access controls, encryption in transit where appropriate, secure configurations, regular software updates, security monitoring, and the use of service providers with appropriate security standards.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. You understand the inherent risks of transmitting data over the Internet and agree to take reasonable precautions, such as:

using strong, unique passwords;
keeping login details confidential;
logging out on shared devices;
being careful about any information chosen for public publication.

8. Children’s data

The Website is intended solely for adult users (18+). Personal data relating to individuals under 18 is not knowingly collected or processed. If it becomes apparent that data from a minor has been obtained, reasonable steps will be taken to delete such data as soon as possible. If you believe that a minor has provided personal data, please make contact so the matter can be addressed.

9. Contact
