Here at Sex Toy Nerds, respecting user privacy and personal data are very important to us. As citizens of the world, it frankly scares us how much data the average website collects and shares about its users. And as a result of this, we won’t collect or share any data about our readers that we wouldn’t want collected about ourselves.
Because, as much as we hate any sort of data collection practices, the truth is we do need to collect some basic data in order to make this website function. Here’s an overview of all the ways we can collect data, some important distinctions on data we’ll never ask you for, and what we do with the data we do collect.

Data we don’t collect
Cookies for targeted ads
A large part of the internet publishing industry is built on the back of personalized advertisements for readers. These ad display networks use multiple cookies to track user information and behavior across websites, with the ultimate goal of serving highly targeted and specific ads.
We find this sort of tracking to be invasive and inherently unethical. At Sex Toy Nerds, we will never use your personal data for the purposes of serving you targeted advertisements, and will not share your information with 3rd party ad networks that do.
Furthermore we know these ad display networks often serve shady or questionable ads to readers, and we don’t believe our readers should have to endure that sort of experience.

We take data collection very seriously. If you have found any of our policies above to be confusing or insufficient, please contact us immediately at sextoynerds@gmail.com and we will investigate and resolve the matter promptly. Please let us know if you have any questions!
