Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Bellas.top collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data when you access or use the platform.
This Privacy Policy is a pre-launch draft and must be reviewed with legal counsel before production launch.
1. Introduction. This Policy describes Bellas.top privacy practices for visitors, users, and account holders. It should be read together with the Terms and Conditions and the GDPR / data protection page.
2. Data controller. The controller responsible for the processing described in this Policy is [BELLAS LEGAL ENTITY], located at [BELLAS COMPANY ADDRESS]. Privacy questions and requests may be sent to [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL]. These placeholders must be replaced before production launch.
3. Data we collect. Depending on the features used, we may collect account data such as name or display name, email, phone number, and authentication data; account type and role; profile data such as public information, city, country, description, preferences, and settings; identity or age verification status and provider metadata, review status, and timestamps; uploaded profile photos and other media; technical data such as IP address, browser, device, logs, security events, and session data; support messages and notification, email, or SMS delivery metadata; payment and subscription metadata where applicable; and moderation and safety data such as reports, account status, review notes, and visibility decisions.
4. Sensitive or higher-risk data. Identity verification material, age verification results, facial or liveness verification metadata where applicable, public profile media, and safety or moderation records require additional care. Bellas seeks to limit access, use, and retention of this data and does not disclose fraud logic, internal thresholds, or raw provider scores.
5. How we use personal data. We may process data to create and manage accounts; authenticate users; provide platform features; manage public-profile and catalogue visibility; verify age or identity where required; prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access; moderate content and enforce the Terms; process subscriptions or payments where applicable; send transactional notifications; respond to support and privacy requests; and comply with legal obligations.
6. Legal bases. Depending on the jurisdiction and context, processing may rely on contract or performance of the service, consent where required, legitimate interests such as safety, fraud prevention, moderation, security, and platform integrity, legal obligation, and explicit consent where special-category processing may apply.
7. Age and identity verification. Bellas may require verification before allowing certain features or profile visibility. Verification data may be processed by trusted providers. We seek to minimize retained verification material, although outcomes and related records may be retained as needed for safety, legal, compliance, or dispute-resolution purposes.
8. Public profile information. Some information from escort accounts may be visible publicly or to platform users. Account holders are responsible for information they choose to submit. Visibility may depend on verification, moderation, and account status, and certain profile information may be edited through the account dashboard.
9. Cookies, sessions, and similar technologies. Bellas may use cookies and session technologies for login, security, preferences, and analytics where applicable. Actual use depends on implemented features and consent choices required by applicable law.
10. Sharing with third parties. We may share data only as necessary with provider categories such as hosting and database, verification, payment, email or SMS communication, analytics, security, and monitoring providers, as well as legal or compliance authorities where required. These third parties must handle data according to their functions and applicable obligations.
11. International transfers. Depending on the infrastructure and providers used, data may be processed in countries outside the user's location. Where required, we seek to apply appropriate safeguards for those transfers.
12. Retention. Account data may be retained while an account is active. Verification and safety data is retained only as necessary for compliance, fraud prevention, disputes, and legal obligations. Public profile data may be retained while the profile or account is active unless deleted or required for compliance. Logs are retained for limited operational or security periods, and backup retention may delay complete deletion.
13. Data security. We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures, including access controls, minimization, monitoring, security safeguards, and encryption where appropriate. No system or transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
14. User rights. Subject to applicable law, you may request access, rectification, deletion or erasure, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, and information about solely automated decisions where applicable, and may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
15. Consent withdrawal. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing completed before withdrawal. It may limit platform functionality that depends on that consent.
16. Account deletion and privacy requests. Requests for deletion, access, or other privacy actions may be sent to [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL] or through available account and support channels. We may request reasonable information to confirm the requester's identity.
17. Children and minors. Bellas is not for minors. Users must be at least 18 years old and meet the minimum legal age required in their jurisdiction. Accounts suspected of belonging to minors may be suspended or removed.
18. Changes to this Privacy Policy. Bellas may update this Policy to reflect legal, operational, or platform changes and may notify users of material changes where appropriate.
