Privacy policy

Who is responsible

ChinaGayLive (chinagay.live) is run by [YOUR FULL NAME OR BUSINESS NAME], who is the data controller for this site. You can reach us about anything on this page at contact@chinagay.live.

What is stored in your browser

We don’t set cookies. The site uses your browser’s local storage for two things you choose yourself:

• cml-theme: whether you picked the light or dark theme.
• cml-age-ok-until: the time until which you have confirmed you are 18 or older, so the age notice doesn’t reappear on every visit. It expires after 24 hours.

Neither value is ever sent to our server. You can delete them at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings.

Server logs

When you load a page, our web server automatically records technical details of the request: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the referring page and your browser’s user agent. We use these logs only to keep the site running, to fix errors and to protect it against abuse. They are deleted after 14 days, and we don’t combine them with any other data.

The same applies when you use a “Continue on Stripchat” or “Continue on Chaturbate” button. The request passes through our server, which redirects you to the platform, and is logged like any other page request.

Visitor statistics

We use GoatCounter, a privacy-focused web analytics service, to count visits and to see which pages are viewed, which countries visitors come from and which sites send them to us. When a page loads, your browser requests a small script from GoatCounter’s servers and reports the page address, the referring page, your browser and system type, your screen width, your language and, derived from your IP address, your country.

According to GoatCounter, it sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It doesn’t keep your IP address or your full browser details. It only stores aggregated daily totals, so individual visitors can’t be picked out of the statistics. GoatCounter is operated by Martin Tournoij in Ireland, with data stored on servers in Finland and Germany. Details are in the GoatCounter privacy policy. The counter can be blocked with a tracker blocker, and the site works exactly the same if you do.

Content delivery network

The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which processes your IP address in order to deliver pages quickly and protect the site from attacks. It may set a strictly necessary security cookie for that purpose. Cloudflare also tells us which country a request comes from. We use that only to hide performers who have blocked your country, and we don’t store it.

Previews and the platforms we link to

The thumbnail images in the list are loaded from the platforms’ image servers, which receive your IP address when your browser requests them.

When you open a preview, the video player is loaded directly from Stripchat or Chaturbate. From that moment, and when you continue to a room on either site, that platform receives your IP address and browser details and may set its own cookies. Their use of your data is covered by their own policies: Stripchat privacy policy and Chaturbate privacy policy.

The links from this site carry a referral code so the platform can tell that you came from us. We only ever see aggregated totals in our affiliate account, such as the number of visits and sign-ups. We never learn who you are, your username on the platform or anything you buy.

Fonts and other resources

All fonts, styles and the site’s own scripts are served from our own server, and no request is made to Google Fonts or similar services when you visit. The only outside script is the GoatCounter visitor counter described above.

Legal basis

Server logs, and the country check described above, are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure and working website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Visitor statistics are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used so we can improve it (also Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Because the counter sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, we don’t ask for consent for it. You can object to it at any time by blocking the counter or writing to us. The settings in your browser’s local storage exist only because you chose them, and are strictly necessary to provide the function you asked for.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have the right to ask us for access to your personal data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Because we don’t know who our visitors are, the only personal data we could hold about you is in the server logs, and we can only find it if you tell us your IP address and the approximate time of your visit. Statistics held by GoatCounter are anonymous aggregates and are covered by its own policy.

To exercise any of these rights, write to contact@chinagay.live. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. In Spain that is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es). You can also contact the authority in the country where you live.

Adults only

This site is only for people aged 18 or older, or the age of majority where they live if that is higher. We do not knowingly process data about anyone younger.

Changes to this policy

If the way this site handles data changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
