Overview
Gay Male Fantasy ("we," "us," "our") operates gaymalefantasy.com. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. We believe privacy is a right, not a feature — especially for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating cross-cultural connections.
Information We Collect
When you join our waitlist or submit a letter of intent, we may collect:
- Name and email address
- Age and location (city and country)
- Your letter of intent (written personal narrative)
- Photographs you choose to submit
- Language proficiency information
- Any additional details you voluntarily provide during the matchmaking process
How We Use Your Information
Matchmaking only. Your information is used exclusively to facilitate curated introductions between members. Specifically:
- Your letter and photos are reviewed by our human matchmaker to identify compatible introductions
- Your letter may be shared with a potential match — only with your explicit consent
- Your email is used to communicate with you about your membership and introductions
- We may use aggregate, anonymized data to improve our service
What We Never Do
- We never sell your data to third parties, advertisers, or data brokers
- We never run advertisements on our platform
- We never share your information without your explicit, per-instance consent
- We never use your data for AI training or algorithmic profiling
- We never disclose your sexual orientation to anyone outside the matchmaking process
Consent and Control
Every piece of information you share is governed by explicit consent:
- Your letter is not shared with any potential match until you approve
- Your photos are not shared until both parties have exchanged letters and agreed to proceed
- Your contact information is never shared without dual consent from both parties
- You may withdraw consent or request deletion of your information at any time
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Your data is stored securely and access is limited to our matchmaking team on a need-to-know basis.
LGBTQ+ Safety Considerations
We understand that sexual orientation is sensitive information with real-world safety implications. We take additional precautions:
- We never publicly associate your identity with our service without your permission
- We assess the safety context of introductions across different cultural environments
- You control the visibility of your information at every stage
Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as you maintain an active membership. If you cancel or request deletion, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services for waitlist management (such as Tally.so) and email communications. These services have their own privacy policies, and we select providers who meet reasonable data protection standards.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Export your data in a standard format

Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our service evolves. Material changes will be communicated via email to active members. Continued use of our service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
