Effective Date: August 20, 2025

Last Updated: July 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy provides an overview of the processing of your personal data in the context of the use of the offers and online services on our website and the corresponding App (hereinafter referred to as the "Service").

Furthermore, this Privacy Policy informs you about your rights and the possibilities you have to control your personal data and to protect your privacy.

We have always taken the protection of your personal data very seriously and continuously take appropriate organizational, contractual, and technical measures to protect your data from unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

1. Details of the Controller

The data controller is DC Cloud Tech Ltd. Please direct any general support requests to: support@3vibe.club.

"DC Cloud Tech Ltd" is also meant when the terms "we" or "us" are used below. Please note that we are a company based outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Insofar as you use our Service and data is processed, these data are collected by a data controller located in a so-called "Third Country." Nonetheless, we will respect standards under applicable European data protection laws. Details about international data transfers can be found in Section 7 below.

2. Information on the Types of Data Processed and Their Origin

If we provide the Service for your use, we process personal data from various sources. This is data that we collect automatically—for example, when you visit our website—as well as other data that you have additionally provided to us.

A. Types of Data That We Automatically Collect

When visiting our website or opening our App, you submit technical information to our servers. This happens regardless of whether you subsequently register an account with us to use the Service or not. In any case, the following data will be processed:

During every visit of our website:

The so-called server log. This is a file which stores the following data: the time, the status of your website visit (status means in this case whether the request of the website was successful or not), as well as the request that your browser has made to the server to open the page, the amount of data transferred, the website from which you came to the requested page (referrer), and the product and version information of the browser used (user agent).

When opening the App:

We also use cookies and API tokens to process this data. Cookies are usually small text files that download to your device and that store the above information about you when you use our Services. API tokens are unique identifier files that we use for authentication when requesting access to our Service.

If you create a profile on our Service, we will assign a so-called unique user ID to it. Besides your chosen profile name, the unchangeable Unique User ID allows us to uniquely identify your profile.

B. Types of Data You Transmit to Us

In addition to the data we receive from all website visitors, we also process other data from registered users. The exact amount of this data depends on how you use the Service.

Personal information that you publicly upload to your profile or other areas of the Service will be visible to other users (and searchable via the search feature within the Service). If you choose additional settings for the wider publication of your data, this information will also be accessible to users who are not logged in. These privacy settings can be determined by you in your profile settings.

The data you provide to us include:

i. User Account / Profile Data:

To use the Service, you can create a user account (a "Profile"). When you create a Profile, you must provide some mandatory information to complete the registration.

Required are:

ii. Optional Profile Information:

The use of the Service is possible only with the aforementioned information. However, you may also provide additional personal information in your Profile, such as physical characteristics or detailed information about your sexual preferences, political opinion, or ideological beliefs. If you want to, you can upload more photos and videos to your Profile or to a secret gallery. The scope of this optional data can be determined by you via the respective input fields in your Profile settings.

iii. Location Data:

When you register with our Service, we use your GPS location once to determine your approximate location. You can agree to this localization when registering or change it if necessary. In the app, your location will only be collected with your permission.

iv. Communication Data: Users

If you communicate with other users of our Service, we save your conversations so that the conversation history with your chat partners can be permanently displayed, and conduct checks on certain keywords for the prevention of criminal activity.

v. Communication Data: Customer Service

When you contact our Customer Service, written communications between you and the Service staff and notes on each transaction are stored so that you can always have a smooth Customer Service experience when the transaction is resumed by other Service staff.

vi. Profile Verification

To verify your profile, you need to take a selfie or upload an image that shows your face and your left or right hand with a special gesture.

vii. Notification of Device Access (App):

If you grant the App access to your camera or photo album, we will only receive the data you actively provide, e.g., photos you upload to the Services and nothing beyond. The same applies to you consenting to the delivery of notifications and the way in which they are displayed. You can change these settings at any time in the device settings and revoke your consent there. Your list of contacts will never be accessed at any time.

viii. Social and Single Sign-On:

You can also use the "Sign in with Apple" feature to create your profile. When choosing this feature, you transmit your username on Apple ID; you also can choose to use the public email address or hidden email address.

3. Processing Purposes and Legal Bases

We process your data exclusively for the following defined purposes:

In doing so, we rely on various legal bases in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, a European Union legal framework for the standardization of data protection law ("GDPR" for short). We refer in detail to the following legal bases:

YOUR CONSENT (Art. 6 (1) lit. a & Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR):

When visiting the website without registration, you agree to the cookie guidelines in the pop-up. If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes, this consent ensures the legality of the processing. By registering and creating your profile, you expressly agree to its use for the purposes described in detail in this Privacy Notice by ticking the box before submitting the registration form. So, if we process your data, it is because you have expressly allowed us to do so when you registered. Your consent is therefore the most important legal basis for the processing of your personal data by us. If you provide us with information about your sexual orientation or preferences, we will process this data exclusively on the basis of your consent.

FULFILMENT OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR):

At the same time, the processing of personal data takes place also for the provision of the Service and in the context of the performance of our contract with you. In many cases, the processing is not only justified by your consent, but also because it is necessary to fulfil our contract with you: In order to fulfil your claim to the Services described in more detail in our Terms of Service, it may be necessary, for example, to process your personal data—for example, if you wish to pay for your VIP membership the processing of your payment information is required.

PROTECTING VITAL INTERESTS (Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR):

We invoke this legal basis in narrowly defined case constellations (e.g., reported suicide announcements) where the processing is necessary for the protection of the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

SAFEGUARDING LEGITIMATE INTERESTS (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR):

By registering to use the Service, you consent to the processing of your data in accordance with this Privacy Notice. That is why we process your data in principle, because you have allowed us to do so. However, there are some cases in which we would be entitled to process your data without your consent because it is necessary to protect our legitimate interests (or the interests of third parties). In this respect, the purposes for which we process your data also represent legitimate interests. We pursue legitimate interests, for example, if we check images or texts for content relevant under applicable criminal law or if we take measures to secure our "virtual domiciliary rights." In these cases, we will not ask you in advance whether you agree to this processing, since processing is otherwise permitted by law.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OR IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST (Art. 6 (1) lit. c & e GDPR):

In addition, we are legally obliged to provide certain information to criminal prosecution, tax, or other authorities in individual cases upon request, if such processing is necessary for safeguarding public interest. Additionally, commercial and tax law contain such obligations for processing in some cases.

4. Data Transmission

We treat your personal data with care and confidentiality and will only pass them on to third parties and other recipients to the extent described below and not beyond.

A. To Other Users

As our Service is a platform for getting to know each other, it is in the nature of things that we forward your profile data as well as other data (e.g., messages you send and other communication you have with other users and the community) at your request and on your behalf to the corresponding users of the Service.

B. Third Parties and Other Recipients (Both When Using Web and App)

In addition, we transmit data to external service providers who enable us to provide the Service to you. These include hosting providers, delivery service providers, payment service providers, and providers of analytics platforms. We require each of these service providers to comply with strict rules about the security of your personal information when processing personal information on our behalf. Such processing operations are therefore principally based on your explicit consent as well as contractual agreements guaranteeing an adequate level of protection for your data.

Microsoft Bing Ads & Microsoft Conversion Tracking:

This website uses the Bing tracking feature of Microsoft Corporation (location: USA). Bing can track the activity of the users as they interact with the ads that are being displayed in Bing. We use Bing Ads services to advertise our brand with the purpose of bringing more users to the site. As the users of Bing type specific keywords, our ads will be shown in accordance to the words they have used in their query. When interacting with such ads, Bing will place cookies so it can display similar ads or ads that may be of your interest in the future. The data Bing collects can include: searches and location, websites, videos and ads viewed, user information if the user possesses a Microsoft account (age range, email, telephone, and gender). Additional information about the cookies used by Microsoft Bing and Microsoft Inc.'s privacy policy is available in their respective documentation.

Alibaba OSS:

This hosting service (processing in USA) is used by us to store and deliver videos and images.

Google:

Google LLC is a provider from the USA. Google Analytics is used to analyze the behavior of users of our Services. With the help of Google Captcha, we can determine whether a visitor is a human being or a machine for certain actions. YouTube videos are embedded in our Service in "advanced privacy mode." While no YouTube cookies are set due to this particularly data protection-friendly method of embedding, calling up the pages nevertheless leads to a connection being established with YouTube and the DoubleClick network. A click on the video can trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control. Information on opt-out options is available in Google's documentation.

C. Third Parties and Other Recipients (Only When Using the App)

Apple:

We use Apple (location: USA) and its Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) to send push notifications to iOS users that may contain personally identifiable information.

Additional Google Services:

Google Firebase (both: USA) helps us to monitor the performance of our App, identify crashes, and analyze user behavior. We use Google Firebase and its Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) service to send push notifications to Android and iOS users that may contain personally identifiable information. Google AdMob (location: USA) enables us to deliver relevant ads in our app and is powered by ads from Google Ads and other Third Party Ad Buyers on Google's Ad Exchange. More information on how Google manages data in its ads products is available in Google's documentation.

Advertising Networks & Affiliates:

When using our App, our ad networks and affiliates may use so-called device identifiers to create an anonymous profile of your click behavior for mobile advertising. In our App we work with various mobile advertising partners beyond Google AdMob, including the following companies:

The link to the current privacy policy and an option to disable behavioral advertising, if available, can be found in our cookie matrix. Further information on the stored data can also be obtained there. These cookies and device identifiers can be used to display personalized advertisements to you. A profile is also created based on comparable information obtained by Google, Facebook, and other third-party ad networks (see list above) from your visits to other websites or apps on their networks.

Deactivation of Personalized Advertising in the App:

5. Processing of Payment Data

When purchasing on our Service through the website or mobile apps, we transfer different information to our collection partners for each payment method. If you want to use paid offers via the App, you will provide further additional information depending on the chosen payment method. However, you will not transfer this information to us, but will transfer it directly to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store after you have given your consent to the respective terms and conditions and privacy policy. Such purchases are made directly through the relevant store.

6. Information on Behavioural Advertising

"Behavioral advertising" means the use of tracking measures to determine the potential interest of users in advertisements on our website and in our App and to display them according to their interests. For this we use the following features: Gender, membership type, 18+ status, preferences, interest in membership, number of logins, and which gender a member is looking for. Members with a Premium and VIP membership have the possibility to turn off advertising.

7. Transmission to Countries Outside the EU or the EEA

All servers of the Service are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), so your data do not leave the EEA from a technical perspective; instead, the technical provision and processing of the data for the operation of the Service takes place in the EEA.

However, when you submit information to us, it is legally collected by a data controller located in a country outside the EEA because we are based in China. In addition, our development company is also based in China, from where it has technical access to the servers in the EEA in certain situations.

According to the GDPR, there are special requirements for transfers of data to so-called "Third Countries" not guaranteeing an adequate level of data protection, without applicable adequacy decisions and without specific guarantees to compensate for this deficit. This means that, from a European perspective, personal data and data subjects enjoy less protection and rights there.

Where no adequate level of protection for personal data can be guaranteed in a specific country, this means that it is possible that government bodies such as criminal prosecution services and intelligence agencies might be able to access data under less strict requirements than within the territory of the EEA (including secret disclosures without any pre-notification to you). Further, it is likely that you will have no effective remedy to challenge such access to your personal data in or out of court. While you might find this acceptable, we strongly urge you to cautiously assess the level of protection you deem appropriate for the personal data we process when providing the Service to you.

If, as a data controller, we transfer data to a third country, we generally guarantee an adequate level of data protection. This applies regardless of whether it is a transfer to an affiliated company or to another recipient (such as an external service provider acting as a data processor). In these cases, we will ensure that the transfer is either based on approved standard contractual clauses (as well as the prerequisite additional safeguards required under Articles 44 and following of the GDPR), that there is an adequacy decision for the respective country, or that other appropriate safeguards such as binding corporate rules have been provided to guarantee an adequate level of data protection.

However, please be reminded: When justifying the transfer of personal data to third countries we, first and foremost, rely on the informed explicit consent you have freely given to us when signing up for our Service (as per Article 49 (1) lit. a GDPR). Specifically, you consent to the transfer of the data mentioned in this Privacy Statement to the US, the UK, as well as China. If you would like to suspend the third-country transfer of your personal data, you are free to not sign up for our Service or to close the account you have opened with us.

8. How Long Will My Data Be Stored?

We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual or legal obligations. Thus, we store the data in principle only as long as our contractual relationship with you exists and also after termination only as far as the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and the People's Republic of China require this. If the data are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of such obligations, they shall be deleted regularly and without delay, unless their further processing is necessary for the protection of legitimate interests or for the preservation of evidence within the framework of statutes of limitations. In this sense, in particular the storage of age and profile verification photos and videos is carried out expressly for the entire duration of the contract, since we hold this data in particular for the ongoing guarantee of the protection of minors and the prevention of fraud attempts.

The data collected under Section 2.A are stored for 90 days. This storage period serves our protection against attacks on the systems of our Service, e.g., by so-called Distributed Denial of Service attacks, in which the systems are deliberately overloaded by a large number of accesses to our Service in order to interrupt the provision of our Service.

9. Information on the Voluntary Nature of the Information Provided

You are not legally obliged to provide us with the above data. In principle, the contractual relationship that you have entered into with us by agreeing to our Terms of Service does not result in any obligation to provide this personal data. However, the transmission of the compulsory data is a basic requirement for a conclusion of a contract with us. In addition, if you do not provide us with certain information or if you object to its use, you may not be able to use the Service, or only to a limited extent. This is because the Service essentially only becomes "alive" through the content posted by the users.

10. Information About Your Rights

You can assert the following rights:

If you have any questions in this regard, please contact customer service at support@3vibe.club.

You may delete your account and associated personal data directly within the App at any time by navigating to Settings → Account Guidelines → Account Cancellation. Once your account is cancelled, all of your personal data stored in connection with your profile will be permanently and irreversibly deleted from our servers, subject to any legal retention obligations.

You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible data protection supervisory authority.

11. Information About Your Right of Objection

a. Right of Objection in Individual Cases

In addition to the rights already mentioned, you have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. e GDPR ("public interest grounds") or of Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR ("legitimate interests"). If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

b. Right to Object to the Processing of Data for Advertising Purposes

You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data. Please also note the information in Section 9 of this Privacy Policy: If we terminate the processing due to your objection, it may be that the Service can no longer be made available to you or only to a limited extent. The objection can be made in each case form-free and should be addressed to support@3vibe.club if possible.

12. Information on Your Legal Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

Please note: We do not sell personal data. This means we will not transmit data to any third party except for the recipients mentioned in this Privacy Statement, for the stated purposes. The relevant recipients have agreed to contractual limitations as to their retention, use, and disclosure of personal data.

California law grants state residents certain rights, including the rights to access specific types of personal data, to learn how we process personal data, to request deletion of personal data, and not to be denied goods or services for exercising these rights. If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and have registered for an account with us, you may also ask us to remove content or information that you have posted to our Services. For information on how to exercise your rights under the CCPA, please refer to Section 10 above.

As a data controller under GDPR and a business regulated under CCPA, we ensure that your rights are respected in all jurisdictions. If you are an authorized agent wishing to exercise rights on behalf of a California resident, please contact our privacy team and provide us with a copy of the consumer's written authorization designating you as their agent.

We may need to verify your identity and place of residence before completing your CCPA rights request.

13. Children's Privacy

Our Service is strictly intended for users aged 18 years and older. By registering, you represent and warrant that you meet this minimum age requirement.

A. Age Verification Measures

We employ multiple measures to prevent underage access:

B. Handling Underage Accounts

If we discover that an account belongs to a minor under 18:

14. Amendment of the Privacy Statement

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt parts of this Privacy Statement which do not require consent so that they always comply with the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our Services in the Privacy Statement, e.g., when introducing new Services. Your new visit will then be subject to the new privacy policy. If your prior consent is required for a change to our Services or for the introduction of a new Service, we will inform you in good time and ask for your consent.
