Community accounts and sign-in — current implementation (October 17, 2026)
PrivateFap.com manages the Community account service. You may browse videos without registering. For privacy questions and requests, contact [email protected] or use the Contact page. This section describes the data used by the current Community features, including social sign-in when a provider is enabled.
Account information
For email registration we store your chosen nickname, email address, a protected password hash, account number, registration and update dates, account status, email-verification status, and the time you confirm adulthood and accept the Terms. Passwords are not stored in readable form. We do not ask for your real name, postal address, phone number or an identity document to create an ordinary Community account. The adulthood checkbox is a self-declaration, not certified age verification.
You can choose a site avatar or upload an image. If you provide them, we store your profile presentation and self-declared profile label, along with your privacy choices. Do not include unnecessary identifying or sensitive information in public fields.
Activity and visibility
We store the favorites, playlists, friendships, blocks and reactions you create, comments you submit, and moderation or account-security actions relevant to your account. If account history is enabled, we store recently watched video references, playback position, completion status and the last update so you can resume watching. Disabling account history deletes that history; favorites and playlists are separate.
Your email and private account settings are not published. Your profile and Community-list visibility depend on your choices. An approved comment is public under the video, with the nickname used when it was submitted and the current avatar of an associated active account. This does not make a private profile public. The profile link is shown only when the profile is public. Sharing comments or reactions on your profile and in the Community activity section is controlled by the corresponding privacy choices; switching off sharing does not remove a comment already approved under a video. Playlists are private unless you choose to make them public. If a video becomes unavailable, its playlist is retained and its owner receives an explanatory notice.
Optional social sign-in
When enabled, Google, Telegram and Discord are alternative ways to register or access the same PrivateFap account. Email registration remains available. A provider is offered only after its credentials have been configured and the service has been enabled by the administrator. X and Reddit sign-in are not offered.
Clicking a social sign-in button takes you to that service. The provider will know that you are signing in to PrivateFap and processes the sign-in under its own privacy rules. We receive a unique provider identifier. Google may also provide your verified email address if you authorize the email permission. Telegram sign-in requests only the unique sign-in identifier, without profile, phone or messaging permissions. Discord sign-in uses only the identify permission; the returned username and profile picture are discarded. It does not request email, messaging, friends or server permissions. For a new account, you supply and verify a contact email separately through PrivateFap. If you change an email supplied by Google, the replacement address must be verified by PrivateFap.
We store the selected provider and an identifier derived using a keyed hash to recognize its association with your account, with creation and last social-login times. We do not store social access tokens or refresh tokens permanently. Authorization codes, anti-replay values and the information needed to finish a new registration are processed temporarily. A registration in progress is usable for ten minutes; protected technical session files may remain until normal expiry and cleanup. Callback requests also pass through the existing protected web-server security logs.
We do not import a social real name, profile picture, contacts, posts, messages or browsing history into your public PrivateFap profile. The integration does not publish to your social account. A social identity is never connected to an existing PrivateFap account solely because an email address matches. To connect another sign-in method, sign in to the existing PrivateFap account and explicitly link the service. You can disconnect it in your account settings after confirming a working local password, which helps prevent accidental loss of access. You can also revoke the application's authorization in the provider's settings.
Why we use the data
Account creation, authentication, profile settings and the Community functions you request are used to provide the account service. Access controls, abuse limits, technical logs, moderation records and security checks protect the service and its users. Support and removal requests are used to respond to the request and meet applicable obligations. Where applicable, the legal bases are performance of the account service, legitimate interests in security and moderation, legal obligations, and consent for optional processing where required. Choosing social sign-in does not constitute consent to advertising or unrelated data uses.
The Community account integration does not activate advertising scripts. Optional Google Analytics is separate from account authentication and is activated only by the explicit statistics preference, on supported public pages. Account-management routes and private conversations do not activate it. Sharing buttons and social sign-in services are contacted when you choose them. Optional browser storage and aggregate tag-click statistics follow the separate cookie choices and Cookie Policy.
Storage, recipients and retention
Account data and the associations you create are kept while they are needed for the active account and requested functions, until you remove them or request account deletion, subject to justified legal or security retention. PrivateFap includes user-generated content (UGC), including videos and photographic albums submitted by registered users and reviewed before publication. Public comments and uploaded content are reviewed separately: deleting an account does not automatically remove every published comment, video or photographic album. Ask support to review specific public content that you want removed. Limited moderation records and permanent technical account numbers may remain where necessary; an erased account's email, usable login credentials and social associations are removed or invalidated by the account-erasure procedure. Protected backups may temporarily retain earlier versions until they are rotated or removed; restored data must continue to respect completed deletion requests.
Account-login cookies and sessions last up to twenty-four hours from sign-in, without an additional inactivity timeout. Logging out, account restrictions or security revocation can end a session earlier. Email-verification links are usable for twenty-four hours and password-reset links for one hour. Expired or revoked technical session/token records are cleaned hourly after the applicable additional retention window of approximately twenty-four hours. Abuse limits have their own short expiry. Temporary reaction anti-abuse references expire after forty-eight hours; actual votes are separate and are not reset by this cleanup. Other technical logs are retained according to their security purpose and applicable operational retention rules, rather than indefinitely for account personalization.
Authorized site administrators can access account and moderation data for support, safety and account management. Hosting and security infrastructure providers, including VSYS and Cloudflare where used, process the traffic and technical information needed for their service. Your chosen sign-in provider processes its own authorization flow. These providers may process information outside your country or the European Economic Area under their applicable arrangements and privacy notices. We do not send your PrivateFap viewing history, playlists, favorites or comments to a social provider as part of sign-in.
Your choices and requests
You can change profile visibility and sharing settings, remove favorites and playlist items, disable or clear account history, disconnect a social sign-in, or request account deletion. To request access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, or to object or withdraw an applicable consent, contact [email protected]. We may need proportionate verification before disclosing or changing account data. You may complain to the competent data-protection authority. Required account fields are marked with an asterisk; without the information necessary to create and secure an account, the account service cannot be provided. Optional profile fields and social sign-in are not required to browse the site. These features do not use automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
Private messages and image attachments — October 20, 2026
We store the participants, text, timestamps and read status needed for private conversations and notifications. Contact preferences, friendship requirements where selected, blocks and account restrictions govern access. Removing a conversation with “Delete chat for me” hides its earlier history only from your account; it does not physically delete the other participant’s copy or moderation records.
You may attach JPG, PNG, WebP or animated GIF images of up to 5 MB. Images are technically validated and processed before delivery; the original uploaded file and its original metadata are not retained as the delivered attachment. GIFs are subject to additional duration, frame and resource limits. Attachments are stored privately and served through authenticated access checks, not through public media links.
Authorized administrators may examine image attachments when a participant reports the relevant message, or when they open a documented review for a concrete security need. Attachments are hidden in the administration interface until that review is opened. Access is limited to the selected conversation for a security review, or only to the reported attachment for a report review, and expires after fifteen minutes or when the review is closed. The reason, inspections and moderation actions are logged privately. Administrators may remove attachments when necessary. Private message text is made available to staff through the message-reporting procedure, rather than in a general conversation-text browser. The attachment notice states its thirty-day expiry; this Privacy Policy describes the review procedure.
Image attachments expire thirty days after they are sent. Access stops at expiry, and the scheduled cleanup removes the attachment and its thumbnail. A text placeholder remains in the conversation; expiry does not delete the message text. Images removed by staff also become unavailable through their previous links. Protected backups may temporarily retain earlier data according to the backup retention described above.
You can manage activity-email preferences in your account; these are separate from in-site notifications and from confirmation or password-recovery emails. Activity emails are not activated by the current attachment update.
Private account and upload IP evidence
For real member accounts, PrivateFap records the network IP address observed at registration and at the most recent successful sign-in, including social sign-in. The latest sign-in replaces the previous sign-in address; this is not a complete sign-in history. Registered members’ video and photo upload addresses are also retained. These data are available only in the authenticated administration interface and are not included in public profiles or public APIs. Generated administrative profiles have no real-member registration or sign-in IP records.
Each address expires 365 days after its corresponding registration, sign-in or upload event. Expired addresses are hidden immediately and removed from the operational database by the existing hourly bounded cleanup, including address copies in removed-content records. Other moderation records, content and account identifiers are preserved. Existing records that were never collected or have already been cleared are not reconstructed. Protected historical backups follow their separate retention; they are not rewritten by this operational cleanup. Before a recovered backup is used, the expiry cleanup must run offline so expired addresses are not restored to service.
Optional statistics and advertising — November 1, 2026
The cookie banner offers accept all, essential only and customization with separate Preferences, Statistics and Advertising choices. Google Analytics 4 is optional and starts only after Statistics is accepted. The administrator has enabled Google's Enhanced Measurement, including automatic public page views and supported interactions. This integration does not send duplicate manual page_view events. The site does not set email, nickname, account ID, private message text or authentication tokens as Analytics user data. Private account, administrative and messaging pages and non-public video/album pages are excluded. Google signals and advertising-personalization features are not enabled by the integration.
The administrator may separately configure an invisible counter such as Histats; an empty or disabled counter slot does not load the service. An enabled counter follows the Statistics choice. The Cookie Policy describes these optional integrations, cookie durations and provider information. Google may process device, request and pseudonymous identifier data under its applicable arrangements, including outside the EEA where applicable. Provider/property retention and sharing settings are managed separately.
Advertising may use administrator-selected providers such as ExoClick and Adsterra. Optional advertising technology starts after the Advertising choice. Verified contextual advertisements that do not require optional tracking may be displayed independently. Administrative and private-message pages do not run these ad scripts. Creating empty advertising boxes does not activate a network. Provider purposes and disclosures must be updated to reflect the specific codes actually activated; selecting a contextual mode does not itself remove tracking from a script.
You may refuse or withdraw optional choices using Preferenze cookie in the footer or Cookie in Shorts. Withdrawal stops new optional loading; open documents that ran a third-party counter or popunder/instant-message script are reloaded to remove its running code. Google cookies accessible to the integration are removed. This does not automatically delete previous provider statistics or cookies outside the site's control.
