b. Commercial and Transactional Information
Records of products or services purchased, obtained, returned, or considered, payment information, billing and shipping addresses, and other purchasing or consumption histories or tendencies.
c. Messaging and Communication History
When you communicate with us through the Services - including via customer support, contests, sweepstakes, research studies, or surveys - we may collect the contents of your messages, your communication history, and any other information you choose to provide.
User-to-User Communications. Lovense is committed to respecting the privacy of communications between users:
Private chats and messages between users are not collected, monitored, accessed, or stored by the Company in the ordinary course of business, except as strictly required by law (such as in response to a valid legal request) or to investigate suspected violations of our Terms (such as harassment, illegal content, or abuse) reported through our reporting channels.
The Company does not use the contents of user-to-user communications for marketing, profiling, or training of artificial intelligence systems.

We are not obligated to publish or retain any User Content, and we may remove, modify, or decline to publish content as set forth in our Terms and Conditions.
h. General Fitness Data
If you choose to use general fitness features within the App (such as targeted exercises), we collect related usage data solely to provide feedback, track progress, and enhance your experience. Lovense products and their fitness features are not medical devices, and the data we collect is not intended for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or cure of any disease or health condition. Any insights are provided for personal fitness, and entertainment purposes only.

Aggregated Information. We may aggregate Personal Data to study user demographics, interests, and behavior in order to better understand and serve our users.

e. AI-Powered Features and Outputs
To provide and operate AI-powered features, including content generation, personalization, recommendations, and conversational tools (whether developed by the Company or provided by third-party AI providers). We may process your Inputs, Outputs, and related interaction data to deliver the AI Service, ensure its safety and reliability, and prevent misuse. We do not use your Inputs or Outputs to train third-party AI providers' general-purpose foundation models without your separate consent where such consent is required by applicable law.

h. Marketing and Promotional Communications
To send you, where permitted, information about our products, applications, services, new features, updates, promotions, and announcements. For users in the EU, UK, and other jurisdictions where opt-in consent is required, marketing communications will be sent only with your prior consent. For users in the US, we comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and provide an easy opt-out mechanism. You may withdraw consent or opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in any marketing message, by adjusting your account preferences, or by contacting us at [[email protected]].
i. Messaging Service
To deliver, operate, analyze, maintain, support, customize, and personalize the Lovense Messaging Service, and to enhance its features.
j. Safety, Security, and Fraud Prevention

l. Other Purposes Disclosed at Collection
If you provide Personal Data for a specific purpose, we will use it for that purpose. If we intend to use your Personal Data for any purpose that is materially different from those described above, we will inform you and, where required by law, obtain your consent before doing so.
m. Consent
By voluntarily providing Personal Data to the Company, you acknowledge that we may process it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires explicit consent - such as for special categories of personal data, direct marketing, or non-essential cookies - we will obtain such consent separately, and you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
3. THIRD-PARTY RECIPIENTS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The Company does not sell your Personal Data. Maintaining your privacy is a vital part of our relationship with you and an important aspect of the Services we provide. There are, however, certain limited circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with third parties, as described below:
a. Affiliates and Group Companies. We may share your Personal Data within HYTTO PTE. LTD., its related corporations, and affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and subject to appropriate safeguards.
b. Service Providers and Processors. We engage trusted third parties to perform business-related functions on our behalf — such as hosting, payment processing, order fulfillment, shipping, customer support, communications, analytics, fraud prevention, and IT services. Such service providers process Personal Data only on our documented instructions, under written contracts that impose confidentiality and security obligations, and only the data necessary to perform their specific function.
c. Third-Party Partners and Integrations. We partner with third parties — including, where applicable, AI service providers, advertising partners, and platform integrators — to deliver certain features of the Services. We make reasonable efforts to limit how these partners may use information they collect from you or that we provide. Their processing of your Personal Data is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review and, where required, accept separately.
d. Business Transfers. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, dissolution, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, Personal Data may be transferred as part of the assets involved. We will notify affected users where required by law and ensure that any successor honors the commitments of this Privacy Policy.
e. Legal and Safety Requirements. We may disclose Personal Data where we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to: (i) comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or legal process; (ii) respond to lawful requests from public authorities, including for national security or law-enforcement purposes; (iii) comply with mandatory reporting obligations, including those concerning child sexual abuse material; (iv) enforce our Terms or other agreements, or investigate suspected violations; (v) protect the rights, property, safety, or interests of the Company, our users, or any third party; or (vi) protect against legal liability.
f. With Your Consent or at Your Direction. We may share your Personal Data for any other purpose disclosed to you with your consent or at your direction.
We do not "sell" or "share" your Personal Data within the meaning of the CCPA/CPRA or analogous laws, except as expressly described in this Privacy Policy.
4. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Privacy Policy, and in each case in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements (including permitted or required retention periods and limitation periods relevant to legal action).
Retention Criteria. The retention period for any given category of Personal Data is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as: (a) the nature, sensitivity, and volume of the Personal Data; (b) the purposes for which it was collected and processed; (c) the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure; (d) whether the purposes can be achieved through other means; (e) applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or operational retention requirements; and (f) the time period during which legal claims may be brought.
General Retention Periods. By way of general guidance, and unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law:
- Account Data is retained for the duration of your active account and for a reasonable period thereafter to handle account closure, disputes, and legal claims.
- Transaction and Order Records are retained as required by applicable tax, accounting, consumer-protection, and warranty laws.
- Customer Support Communications are retained for a reasonable period after the matter is resolved, to enable follow-up and quality assurance.
- Community Message Caches are routinely and automatically purged on a regular basis to manage our storage capacity.
- Marketing Records (including consents and unsubscribe records) are retained for as long as required to demonstrate compliance with applicable laws.
- Logs, Security, and Fraud-Prevention Data are retained for the period necessary to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents and fraudulent activity.
When Personal Data is no longer required, we will either delete it, anonymize it, or securely archive it in a manner that prevents further processing, except where retention is required by applicable law.
Account Closure and Deletion Requests. If you wish to close your registered account or delete the Personal Data you have provided to us, please follow the relevant instructions in your account settings or contact us by email at [[email protected]]. We will action your request in accordance with applicable law, subject to our right to retain certain information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, enforce our agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or any third party. Residual copies of Personal Data may remain in our backup systems for a limited period before being securely overwritten.
Content Sent to Third Parties. Any content that you send, transmit, share, or otherwise make available to a recipient (including another user or any third party) through the Services does not fall within the scope of the Personal Data we control once it has been delivered. The Company disclaims any obligation or liability for the acquisition, retention, use, further disclosure, or onward transfer of such content by any recipient or third party.
5. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT SUBMIT PERSONAL DATA
The Services are intended exclusively for adults. The Company does not knowingly collect, solicit, or process Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater). If you are under such age, please do not access or use the Services and do not submit any Personal Data through the Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's internet activity and to help enforce this Privacy Policy by instructing minors under their care never to provide Personal Data through the Services. If you are a parent or legal guardian and become aware that a minor under your care has provided Personal Data to the Company, or if you otherwise have reason to believe that we may have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a person under the age of 18, please contact us promptly at [[email protected]]. Upon verification, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information from our records, in accordance with applicable laws (including, where applicable, the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), Article 8 of the GDPR, and analogous laws in other jurisdictions).
6. HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION AND CONTENT
The Company takes commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data we process against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, taking into account the nature, scope, and purposes of processing and the risks to your rights and freedoms.
Account-identifiable and user-identifiable data we collect — including emails, phone numbers, and account credentials — are protected by encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, authentication mechanisms, and other safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data. Personal Data is stored on our secured internal databases, and accessible data associated with your account or profile can be retrieved only upon presentation of valid account credentials.
Please be aware, however, that no method of internet transmission, email, or electronic storage is ever fully secure or error-free, and information transmitted via the Services may be intercepted, accessed, disclosed, or altered. In particular, email sent to or from the Services may not be secure. You should therefore exercise care in deciding what information you transmit to us, and promptly notify us at [[email protected]] if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
All payments for products and services are processed by third-party payment providers. The Company makes good-faith efforts to engage providers that employ appropriate protections for personal and payment data. However, the Company does not control such providers and disclaims any obligation or liability for their processing activities, security measures, or compliance, except to the extent required by applicable law.
7. YOUR RIGHTS
Under the GDPR, the CCPA, the UK GDPR, and analogous laws, you have the following rights in relation to the Company's processing of your Personal Data. Where your jurisdiction grants additional or stronger rights, those rights shall apply.
a. Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw such consent at any time by notifying the Company. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal, nor processing based on other lawful grounds.
b. Right to data portability. You have the right to receive a copy of the Personal Data you have provided to the Company, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit such data to another controller, where technically feasible and where processing is based on consent or contract.
c. Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). You have the right to request the deletion of Personal Data we hold about you. While we can erase data from our active records, copies may persist temporarily in inactive, archived, or backup systems and will be deleted in accordance with our retention and document-management policies. In certain cases, we may be required or permitted by law to retain Personal Data — for example, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
d. Right to restriction of processing. You may request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances permitted by law (for example, where you contest the data's accuracy or object to processing). Restriction may affect your ability to access or use parts of the Services.
e. Right of access. You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process Personal Data concerning you and, where we do, access to such data and to supplementary information about the processing, as required by applicable law.
f. Right to rectification. You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate Personal Data and the completion of incomplete Personal Data we hold about you.
g. Right to object. Where processing is based on our legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest, you have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation. You also have an unconditional right to object to processing of your Personal Data for direct-marketing purposes, including any related profiling.
h. Rights related to automated decision-making. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, except as permitted by law.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [[email protected]]. We will respond without undue delay and, in any event, within the time limits required by applicable law (generally one month). We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, and exercising certain rights may affect your ability to use the Services where the relevant Personal Data is necessary for their operation.
