Last Modified: July 1, 2025

The PLAD8 Team ("PLAD8", "we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

OUR APPROACH TO PRIVACY

This privacy policy sets out how we collect, store, process, transfer, share and use data that identifies or is associated with you ("personal information") when you use our app(s), any website operated by us (including https://PLAD8.com/), any services we provide or otherwise interact with us (collectively, the "Service" or the “Services”).

You may also provide us with personal information when you:

Social media login

Please note that if you create your account using social media login details (e.g. Facebook), you give permission to that social media platform to share with us your name, profile picture and email address.

Special categories of personal data

Some of the personal information you provide us, including sexual orientation, sexual preferences, and certain other information you may choose to provide as part of using the Services (such as information about your race, ethnicity, politics, religion, philosophical beliefs, health and sex life) will be treated as special category personal data to which additional protections apply under data protection law.

We process such special category personal data because you have chosen to submit that information to our Services. We will not share this data with anyone other than in accordance with this privacy policy.

When completing your profile, or providing information to other members or to us via the Services, you can provide as much or as little detail as you see fit. By completing and sharing your profile information relating to your sexual life, you give your consent for us to process this information for the purposes of providing our Services. You can amend your profile and remove this information at any time if you no longer want to share this information.

RIGHT OF ASSIGNMENT

In the event that PLAD8 is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, in whole or in part, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

If you have created an account with us, it will be terminated when you decide to terminate your account or after your account has remained paused (“Deactivated”) continuously for 1 year. Please note, however, that we will continue to retain anonymized transactional records and purchase complaint records. We may also retain your personal information for a longer period in certain circumstances, including in the event of an on-going complaint, in the context of a criminal, financial or regulatory investigation (or similar), if we consider on-going retention is needed to protect the health, safety and well-being of our staff, other users or other third parties, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do our best to limit sharing personal information to only what is strictly necessary to operate the Service. We may share your personal information with the following:

  • Service providers: we may share your personal information with third parties and other service providers that perform services for us or on our behalf, which may include providing app and data hosting, data centre and storage facilities, payment and billing processing, communications, surveys and chat facilities, user relationship management, social media platforms, marketing communications, advertising, push notifications, customer and technical support, error reporting and fixing, analytics, cybersecurity, verification services and/or fraud prevention, monitoring, user safety and safeguarding.
  • Purchasers and third parties in connection with a business transaction: your personal information may be disclosed to third parties in connection with a transaction, such as a merger, sale of assets or shares, reorganisation, financing, change of control or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.
  • Law enforcement, regulators and other parties for legal reasons: we may share your personal information with third parties as required by law or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (i) comply with the law and/or the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (ii) detect and investigate illegal activities and breaches of agreements; (iii) enforce our terms and/or (iv) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of PLAD8, its users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of cybersecurity, fraud protection, online and user safety and credit risk reduction.
  • Other members of our group: where applicable, we may share your personal information with our affiliates (for example, where they provide services on our behalf) or where such sharing is otherwise necessary in accordance with the uses set out herein.

MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

From time to time, we may contact you with information about the Services, including sending you marketing messages and asking for your feedback on our Services.

Most marketing messages we send will be by email. For some marketing messages, we may use personal information we collect about you to help us determine the most relevant marketing information to share with you.

We will only send you marketing messages if we have your consent or, if consent is not required under applicable law, you have not opted out of receiving messages from us. You can withdraw your consent, or opt out of receiving further communications at a later date, by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our marketing emails or toggling your preferences within your account settings.

Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not unsubscribe you from system or legal notifications which we may need to send as part of the Service we provide. From time to time, we may need to contact you by email or via our support team.

Use of Google & Third Party Advertising Technologies

From time to time, we may use Google’s advertising and tracking tools, including cookies, tags, and similar technologies, on public facing landing pages and sign-up pages to help us understand how users discover our Service and to optimize our marketing efforts. This data helps us deliver more relevant advertisements and measure campaign performance. These tracking technologies are not used on the pages of our Services that require user authentication, other than initial sign-up and sign-in forms. Authenticated pages are kept free of third-party advertising or tracking scripts to ensure user privacy and confidentiality.

STORING AND TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption, to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful access, destruction, loss, alteration or damage. All personal information we collect will be stored on our secure servers, with the exception of any billing and payment processing information, which is collected and stored via our 3rd party billing partner, CCBill. PLAD8 does not collect or store credit card numbers or any other payment vehicle information on our servers. Where data processing is carried out on our behalf by a third party, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to prevent unauthorised disclosure of personal information.

Despite these precautions, however, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the internet or that unauthorised persons will not obtain access to personal information.

International Transfers of your Personal Information

The personal information we collect may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the jurisdiction you are in, where our affiliates and our third party service providers have operations. If you are located in the UK or European Economic Area ("EEA"), your personal information may be transferred outside of the UK and EEA, respectively, to a country which is not recognised by the UK or European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal data. These international transfers of your personal information will be made pursuant to appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission and UK government (as applicable).

The Services are presently hosted in the United States. If you are a User accessing the Services from Europe, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, retention, and disclosure that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the Services, which are governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Notice, and our Terms of Use Agreement, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to that transfer.

YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We respect all rights in accordance with applicable United States privacy law. If you wish to exercise one of these rights, please contact us using the contact details at the end of this privacy policy. You may also review, remove and edit some of the personal information you have submitted to us by logging into your account on the app.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

The Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from third-party websites, including those of our business partners, advertisers, news publications and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies.

COOKIE POLICY

We use cookies and similar technologies (“Cookies”) on our website. “Cookies” are small text files, placed on a computer hard drive, that enable websites to remember a particular device. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently for visitors and to provide web providers with traffic information.

Cookies allow the server to deliver personalized pages for users as cookies remember your preferences and make the interaction between you and the website smoother and more efficient. When users load the website, the browser retrieves their previous activity. This allows the browser to keep the user logged in and many other functions that make the navigation more effective.

Without cookies, we may not be able to provide certain services or features, and our website will not work as efficiently as intended. You can turn cookies off, but if you do this, you may not be able to access some of the Services. Cookies may be set either by the website you are visiting (“First-Party cookies”) or by third parties that run content on the website you are viewing (“Third-Party cookies”). They may be stored either for the duration of your visit or for repeat visits.

There are four main types of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to login, navigate around and use the features of a website, or to provide a service requested by you. We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these cookies.
  • Functionality cookies: These cookies allow a website to remember choices you make (such as username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by using a cookie to store information about the region in which you are currently located. The information these cookies collect remains anonymous and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  • Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use a website, (such as identifying which pages you go to most often), and record difficulties you may experience while using the website, such as error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve the efficiency of the website.
  • Targeting cookies or advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements tailored to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.

Consent to use cookies

Your use of the Services grants your permission (consent) to place cookies or other similar tracking technologies on your device where these are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested.

How to manage your cookie settings

There are various ways in which you can manage and control your cookie settings. Please note that, by deleting or blocking cookies, some or all of the websites you visit (or features of them) may not work properly or as effectively.
