Trust, Safety, Privacy Policy & Terms
Because our community discusses sensitive personal health and romantic matters, QueerHSV was built from the ground up with discreet, privacy-first protections, end-to-end data safety, and crystal-clear community standards.
1. Privacy Policy & Data Security
At QueerHSV.com, safeguarding your identity and diagnostic privacy is our highest technical priority. We adhere to strict data minimization principles under GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy benchmarks:
- Stealth Mode Browsing: Browse profiles anonymously without leaving profile view footprints or appearing in visitor lists.
- Private Photo Vault: Lock select pictures behind mutual permission. Your photos remain blurred until you explicitly approve a match.
- Pseudonymous Display Names: We never require your legal name. You are free to choose an anonymous handle to protect your identity.
- Zero Search Engine Indexing: Individual user profiles are strictly tagged with
noindex, nofollowheaders, preventing Google, Bing, and web scrapers from discovering your profile. - No Sale of Medical or Diagnostic Data: We never sell, rent, monetize, or share your HSV diagnosis, sexual orientation, or personal communications with third-party advertisers, data brokers, or insurers.
- End-to-End Encryption: All account credentials, direct messages, and private photo transfers are encrypted using TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest.
- Right to Deletion: You can permanently purge your profile, photos, and messages at any time with a single click, completely erasing your data from our active databases.

4. In-Person Dating Safety Tips
Whether connecting online or planning an in-person date, keep these essential safety practices top of mind:

- Notify a Friend: Inform a trusted friend of your meeting location, date's name, and expected check-in time.
- Maintain Independent Transport: Drive yourself or use public transit/rideshares so you retain total control over when to leave.
