Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4 July 2026
1. Who We Are
EliteCompanion ("we", "us") operates elitecompanion.cc, an advertising directory for independent adult service providers. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and the rights you have over it. It applies to both Advertisers and Clients.
2. Data We Collect
Account data: email address, phone number (optional), and a hashed password. Advertiser profile data: the information, photos, and videos you choose to publish, which are public by design. Verification data: identity documents, selfie/liveness captures, and derived biometric face embeddings, processed solely to verify that Advertisers are real, adult, and advertising themselves. Payment data: handled by Stripe; we store only transaction references, never card numbers. Usage data: IP address, approximate location (country/city), device information, and interaction events such as profile views and contact reveals.
3. Why We Process It
We process data to: operate the directory and your account; verify Advertiser identity and age (legitimate interest and legal obligation to prevent exploitation and underage content); process payments (contract); send transactional emails such as verification links, moderation decisions, and receipts (contract); prevent fraud, duplicate accounts, and abuse (legitimate interest); and comply with legal obligations, including cooperation with law enforcement.
4. Biometric Data
Identity verification uses facial comparison technology (including AWS Rekognition and Didit) to match your verification selfie against your ID document and profile photos, and to detect duplicate identities. Face embeddings are stored securely and used exclusively for verification and fraud prevention. They are never shared for marketing and never made public.
5. Sharing
We share data only with processors necessary to run the Platform: Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (hosting, media storage, email delivery), AWS (identity verification), and Didit (document verification). Each processes data under contract and only on our instructions. We disclose data to authorities where required by law or where necessary to protect the safety of any person.
6. Retention
Account data is kept while your account is active and deleted or anonymised within 90 days of account deletion, except where longer retention is required by law (e.g. payment records) or for safety (e.g. records of banned users to prevent re-registration). Verification documents are retained only as long as needed to establish and evidence verification status.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (including under the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, export, restrict, object to the processing of, or delete your personal data. Advertisers can edit or remove their public profile at any time from the dashboard. To exercise any right, contact us through the support section of your dashboard. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
8. Cookies and Local Storage
We use strictly necessary cookies and browser storage for authentication (session tokens) and remembering your age confirmation. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
9. Security
All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS). Passwords are stored using strong one-way hashing (bcrypt). Media is served from access-controlled object storage. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis.
10. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy from time to time; material changes will be announced on the Platform. Questions can be raised through the support section of your dashboard.
