Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Shy Housewife (“The Shy Housewife,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website and services (the “Service”). We aim to collect only what we need to operate the Service and to be transparent about how that information is handled.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your email address and account details when you sign up, and payment information when you purchase a membership (processed by our payment provider). We also collect information automatically as you use the Service, including basic device and browser data, IP address, and usage activity such as the items you view and filters you apply.

2. How we use information

We use information to provide and improve the Service, authenticate your account, process payments and memberships, enforce access controls and protect content, respond to support requests, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

Sensitive information & discretion

Because The Shy Housewife is an adult website, the simple fact that you visit or hold an account may be sensitive. We treat your membership and viewing activity as confidential, do not sell personal information, and limit access to account and activity data to what is needed to run the Service.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small set of essential cookies: one to keep you signed in, one to remember your light or dark theme, and an age-confirmation cookie (set when you confirm you are of legal age) so you are not asked again on every visit. The age-confirmation cookie stores only that you confirmed; it does not identify you. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work without them.

Discreet billing

Payments are handled by our payment provider. Your card statement shows a neutral billing descriptor that does not disclose the nature of the content. We receive only the transaction and membership status needed to grant access.

4. Third parties

We share information with service providers who help us operate the Service, such as hosting, authentication, payment processing, and analytics providers. These providers may only process information on our behalf and under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights and users.

5. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, and thereafter as required to meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond consistently with applicable law.

7. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice of material changes.
