Privacy

Short version: Figuri keeps very little. No accounts, no sign-up forms, no profiles. The details are below.

Who runs Figuri

The people who run this site are called "we", "us" and "our" throughout these pages. The quickest way to reach us is the e-mail address on the contact page.

Records we keep

• Request records. Each time a page is loaded, the server notes the address requested, the date and time, the IP address it came from, the browser identification string and, when the browser passes it on, the previous page. These records help us fix faults, keep the service up and spot misuse or fraud.
• One cookie of our own. Opening the start page or one of its section links stores a cookie that holds a random string and nothing else. With it we can tell that a browser has been here before, count how often each link is followed and block abusive scripts. It never contains a name or address and expires after twelve months at most.
• The age confirmation. Confirming that you are 18 or older leaves a small flag in your browser's session storage so the notice is not repeated on every page. The flag stays on your device and disappears when the tab or browser closes.
• Checks against automated visits. Following a section link from the start page can trigger a quick look at general browser facts, for example the screen dimensions, the language setting and signs of browser automation, so that genuine people can be told apart from scripts.

Figuri never asks who you are and never takes payment details.

Material from other companies

Parts of some pages are sponsored and are supplied by outside networks. Loading that material lets those companies see your IP address and browser information, and they may place cookies of their own; their own privacy statements apply to that. Every site we describe or link to is an independent business with its own privacy rules.

Why we may do this, and for how long

We rely on our legitimate interest in keeping a safe, functioning site and in stopping fraud. Request records are held only for a short period, after which they are erased or kept solely as totals.

A note on sensitive information

The fact that someone reads an adult guide can say something personal about them. We do not assemble interest profiles of individual readers, we do not sell visitor information and we make no attempt to connect a visit to a real identity.

What you can ask for

Depending on where you live (for instance in the European Union or the United Kingdom), you may have the right to see, correct or erase personal data we hold, to object to how it is used and to lodge a complaint with your data protection regulator. Send any such request to the e-mail address above. Clearing or blocking cookies and site data in your browser is always possible and the guides still work without them.
