Last updated: 31 July 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Adults.wiki handles information when visitors browse the directory, submit forms, rate a website, follow an outbound link, or use the administrator area. Adults.wiki aims to collect only the information reasonably needed to operate, secure, and improve the service.
1. Information collected automatically
Basic technical information may be processed when a page is requested, including an IP address, browser or device information, requested path, time of access, referral information, and security events. Where practical, IP addresses used for unique counts, rate limiting, ratings, and abuse prevention are converted into one-way hashes rather than stored as plain text in the application database.
The directory also records basic page-view and outbound-click statistics. These records help identify popular pages, prevent repeated artificial actions, measure listing performance, and troubleshoot service problems.
2. Information submitted by visitors
Forms may request information such as a name, email address, website URL, category, description, subject, message, or supporting attachment. This information is used to review the submission, respond where necessary, evaluate a listing, investigate abuse, process a removal request, or discuss advertising.
Public submissions are not published automatically. Email addresses and administrative notes are not displayed as part of a public website listing unless the sender separately authorizes publication.
3. Cookies and local preferences
Adults.wiki may use cookies or similar browser storage for age-gate confirmation, administrator sessions, security, form protection, interface preferences, screenshot visibility, and rating integrity. Clearing cookies may require you to repeat the age confirmation or reset certain preferences.
Essential cookies are used to maintain sessions and protect forms. Optional analytics or advertising technologies may set additional identifiers according to their own policies and the configuration chosen by the site administrator.
4. Histats and third-party services
The administrator may enable Histats or another third-party analytics service to obtain more detailed traffic information. Those services operate independently and may process device, network, referral, location, or cookie data under their own privacy terms. Adults.wiki does not control how an external analytics provider manages data once its script is loaded.
Screenshot services, favicon sources, advertising networks, content-delivery services, and external websites may also receive technical request information when their resources are used or when a visitor follows an outbound link.
5. How information is used
Information may be used to operate the directory; authenticate the administrator; process submissions and reports; maintain ratings and unique counts; detect spam, fraud, abuse, and malicious requests; check website availability; manage advertising; create backups; investigate errors; enforce policies; and comply with valid legal obligations.
6. Disclosure of information
Adults.wiki does not sell visitor personal information. Information may be disclosed to service providers that support hosting, analytics, security, screenshots, or advertising; to professional advisers; to authorities when legally required; or when reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, or the rights of another party.
Aggregated or de-identified statistics may be used for reporting, directory ranking, advertising discussions, and service improvement.
7. Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, including security, dispute resolution, legal compliance, directory maintenance, and historical records. The administrator may delete spam, expired logs, old backups, resolved requests, and obsolete technical records according to operational needs.
8. Security
Adults.wiki uses measures such as password hashing, session controls, prepared database statements, CSRF protection, input validation, output escaping, rate limiting, restricted upload types, and access controls. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, and visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.
9. External websites and adult services
When you leave Adults.wiki, the destination website's privacy policy applies. External adult websites may collect account, payment, viewing, messaging, upload, or device information that Adults.wiki neither receives nor controls. Review those policies before creating an account or making a payment.
10. Your choices and requests
You can clear browser cookies, avoid optional forms, decline to rate listings, or leave the website. A person who has submitted personal information may contact the administrator to request correction or deletion, subject to legal, security, fraud-prevention, and record-keeping requirements.
11. Children
Adults.wiki is not directed to children and does not knowingly invite information from minors. A person who is not of legal adult age must not use the directory. Suspected information involving a minor should be reported immediately through the dedicated abuse channel.
12. Policy changes and contact
This policy may be updated as the service, legal requirements, analytics, or advertising configuration changes. The current version and update date will be published on this page. Privacy questions may be submitted through the Contact page.
