Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains how Friendboy processes personal data in connection with the directory, profile submissions, contact requests and account access.

Site publisher and data controller

Friendboy is published by Friendboy BV, Hulstweg 11, 1032 LB Amsterdam, Netherlands. For privacy, profile removal, correction, reporting or personal-data requests, use the contact form. Do not send private or sensitive information unless it is necessary for the request.

1. Controller and contact

The data controller for Friendboy is Friendboy BV. Use the contact form for controller requests, including access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent or objections to processing.

2. Data we process

Depending on how the site is used, Friendboy may process:

  • profile and listing information submitted for publication, including display name, location, description, rates, contact details and photos;
  • account information used to create, confirm, log in to and manage a profile, including email address, password-related technical data and session data;
  • contact form messages and the email address provided so we can reply;
  • profile status, moderation and publication records needed to manage submitted profiles;
  • technical logs, IP address, browser or device data, user-agent data and security events.

3. Special category data

Because Friendboy is an adult gay male escort directory, submitted or displayed profile data may reveal or suggest sexual orientation, adult services or other sensitive information. This data is processed for publication only when it is voluntarily provided by the person concerned, with explicit consent. Do not submit data about another person unless you have authority and consent to do so.

4. Purposes

Data is used to operate the directory, create and manage profile accounts, review and publish submissions, manage profile status, respond to contact requests, handle removal or correction requests, prevent abuse, protect site security, keep operational records and comply with legal obligations.

5. Legal bases

Depending on the context, processing may rely on explicit consent for publication of sensitive profile data, performance of a requested service, legitimate interests in operating, moderating and securing the site, or compliance with legal obligations.

6. Public profiles and search engines

Information submitted for publication may become publicly accessible on Friendboy profile pages and may be indexed, copied, cached or archived by search engines or third-party services outside Friendboy's control. Removal from Friendboy does not guarantee immediate removal from external caches or copies.

7. Retention

Published profile data remains online until removed, replaced, unpublished or archived. Account, contact, moderation and technical records are kept only as long as necessary to operate the site, handle requests, prevent abuse, document consent or compliance actions, and meet legal obligations.

8. Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Data may be shared only where necessary with hosting, email, security, moderation or technical service providers, or with authorities when required by law or when reporting suspected illegal activity.

9. Cookies and local storage

The site may use strictly necessary cookies or local storage for adult age-gate confirmation, login sessions, security, abuse prevention and basic site functionality. Server logs may be used for security and diagnostics.

10. Your rights

Where applicable, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability of your personal data. You may also withdraw consent for profile publication. We may need information to verify the request and may refuse or limit a request where required or permitted by law. To exercise these rights, use the contact form.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the site and submitted information, including access controls, moderation workflows and security monitoring. No online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Minors

Friendboy is for adults only. We do not knowingly accept profiles or submissions involving anyone under 18. Any suspected minor, exploitation or trafficking issue should be reported immediately through the contact form.

13. Changes

This policy may be updated when the site, legal requirements or operational practices change. The version published on this page is the current public privacy policy.
