About this site
Privacy Policy
The Grey Side privacy notice is short because the site collects almost nothing. You can read every page here, take the test and use every tool without ever telling me who you are. This page says exactly what happens with the little data that does get collected.
Last reviewed:
This site sells nothing. There is no product, no service, no subscription, no booking and no payment in either direction — which removes most of the reasons a website would want anything from you. So there is not much to tell you, and here it is.
While you read
- No account, no login, no newsletter, no advertising, no trackers beyond basic visitor statistics.
- Nothing is ever sold, rented or shared. There is no arrangement under which it could be.
Private tools and basic analytics
- The test and the tools run entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent anywhere, including to me, and a refresh clears them for good.
- Like most sites, I use Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It sets a cookie for that and nothing else.
If you write to me
Connect asks for a name or alias, confirmation that you are over 18, a city if you want to give one, one way to reach you, and your message. It is stored privately and encrypted on servers in Mumbai, it does not leave India, and I am the only person who reads it. Nothing you send is published or shown to anyone.
Messages are kept for six months and then deleted. If you want yours gone before then, say so and it is gone.
I will never ask you for Aadhaar, PAN, a passport or any government ID, your date of birth, your employer, your exact address or intimate images. If anyone asks you for those things — here or anywhere else — Privacy and BDSM in India is worth reading before you answer.
Sending in a story works the same way, except it needs an email address so I can write back to you about your own work. It stays unpublished unless you and I have agreed otherwise, under whatever name you choose.
The part I cannot help with
A page that saves nothing still turns up in your browser history, in an autocompleted address bar, on a laptop someone borrows for an afternoon. No privacy policy anywhere can fix that. A private window and a closed tab will do more for you than anything I can write here.
If any of this changes, this page changes with it and the date below moves.
