/Privacy Policy

At FilthyGorgeousThings.com we respect your personal privacy.

As a contributor, can I be anonymous?

Absolutely. We believe that being open about sexuality sometimes requires personal privacy, so if you prefer to be anonymous or use a pseudonym, we will absolutely respect that. If someone contacts us seeking your real identity, we will not disclose it, under any circumstances, unless you give us permission. This also applies to interviews. If we interview you and you want to have your identity protected, we will protect it. All advice questions submitted to the advice column are kept anonymous as a rule.

When does F/lthyGorgeousTh/ngs.com collect my personal information?

You may provide personal information to FilthyGorgeousThings.com in one of three ways: (1) by voluntarily sharing your e-mail address and subscribing to email newsletters (2) by voluntarily sharing personal information when you provide submissions or inquiries and (3) through tracking information collected as you navigate through our website.

At no time does any party other than FilthyGorgeousThings.com have access to your personally identifiable information, and you will never be contacted by any party other than FilthyGorgeousThings.com. The only exceptions to the foregoing are that we may disclose personally identifiable information (i) in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or subpoena, (ii) in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take actions regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of another person, violations of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law, or (iii) in the event we are acquired by or merged with another company, which is exceptionally unlikely since at least one of us is quite stubborn.

When you sign up for our newsletter FilthyGorgeousThings.com, you will always be given the chance to opt-out.

Who else has access to my personal information?

Email newsletters received by subscribers are delivered to you by Constant Contact, our emarketing solutions provider. Under no circumstances will Constant Contact make any personal information about an individual user available to anyone.

Third parties and websites that have links (i.e. sites you visit via our website) on our website may also collect or use information about you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies or people that F/lthyGorgeousTh/ngs.com does not employ or manage.
