In accordance with applicable e-commerce and consumer protection regulations, users of the gaycharlie.com website are provided with the following information about the parties involved:

1. PUBLISHER AND EDITORIAL DIRECTION

Publisher: The publisher of this site has chosen to remain anonymous, as permitted under applicable e-commerce law. Their full identity has been disclosed to the hosting provider.
Director of publication: The identity of the person responsible is held on file with the hosting provider.
Contact: customer (at) gaycharlie.com
Personal data: Depending on your place of residence, you may have rights of access, rectification, and deletion regarding your technical data, which can be exercised with the Publisher via the contact address above. Visitors in the UK, the EU (including Ireland), and other jurisdictions with data protection authorities may also have the right to lodge a complaint with their relevant supervisory authority.

2. HOSTING

Host: OVH SAS, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France.

3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The main domain gaycharlie.com acts exclusively as an advertising vehicle and intermediation interface.

Dating service: The service accessible via subdomain is published and operated independently by a separate partner company. This third party is solely responsible for the processing of personal data, subscriptions, and financial transactions within its own space, in accordance with its own Terms of Service and Legal Notice. Although the sign-up form is technically hosted on the main gaycharlie.com domain, the user contracts exclusively with that partner company. By submitting the sign-up form, your details are transmitted directly to that partner, which acts as the sole data controller for that processing. The Publisher cannot be held responsible for any commercial dispute, service failure, or billing issue related to the use of the partner service. The Publisher is neither the seller nor the provider of the dating service; it does not process any payments and has no access to banking data.
Technical providers: We use Cloudflare (security) and Google Analytics (audience measurement). Technical data transfers (IP addresses) outside your region are secured through appropriate contractual safeguards where required by law.

4. LIABILITY AND OWNERSHIP

Limitation: Use of the Site is at the User’s own risk. The Publisher is held to a best-efforts obligation regarding technical access.
Advertising: The Site may display advertising of any kind (banners, pop-ups, pop-unders) managed by third-party ad networks. The Publisher exercises no control over this content and cannot be held responsible for the unlawful, offensive, or misleading nature of advertisements distributed by these third parties.
Ownership: The structure, brand, and logos of the Site are the exclusive property of the Publisher.

5. ACCESS AND PROTECTION OF MINORS

Age restriction: Access to this site, use of the dating services, and access to all partner offers and advertising are strictly reserved for adults (18+).
Local compliance: The user is solely responsible for ensuring that access to the Site and its content is lawful under the laws of their country of residence. If viewing dating- or adult-related content is prohibited or restricted in your jurisdiction, you must leave this site immediately.
User commitment: By accessing this site, the user certifies that they are of legal age under the laws of their country. The Publisher disclaims all liability in the event of a false declaration of age or access to the site by a minor, as well as for the nature of content distributed by advertising networks or external partners.
