GYNARCHIC – PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated and Effective: 02/02/2026
Introduction
Gynarchic ("Gynarchic," "we," "us," or the "Club") is committed to maintaining a discreet, secure, and trustworthy private community. We understand that privacy, confidentiality, and personal safety are of paramount importance to our members and applicants ("you").
Privacy is foundational to the Gynarchic experience and informs every aspect of our platform, features, and community standards. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, how it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
By accessing or using our website, application, or related services (collectively, the "Service"), including applying for membership or participating in community features, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree, you may discontinue use of the Service and request account deletion.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use limited cookies and similar technologies strictly for:

DATA SECURITY
We employ industry-standard security measures, including encryption, access controls, and secure infrastructure. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
