Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Obare (“Obare,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you interact with our platform, website, and services (“Site”). It applies solely to data collected through our Site and does not cover third‑party practices.

We use cookies to enhance your experience. Except for strictly necessary cookies, we obtain explicit consent before placing any cookies that process personal data.
You can withdraw consent at any time via our cookie settings or your browser.

6. Age Verification

To comply with state laws requiring “reasonable age‑verification methods,” Obare will:
- Implement an age‑gate requiring users to confirm they are 18+ before viewing nudity
- Use either anonymous or standard age verification (e.g., third‑party ID check) as mandated by Florida’s HB 3
- Not retain any personally identifying information collected solely for age verification beyond what is necessary for compliance

7. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Our Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13; if we learn we have, we will delete it immediately to comply with COPPA.

8. Copyright & Takedown (DMCA Safe Harbor)

To qualify for DMCA Safe Harbor protection, Obare will:
- Designate a Copyright Agent and publish their name, physical address, email, and phone number on our Site (and register with the U.S. Copyright Office)
- Implement a Notice‑and‑Takedown procedure, promptly removing or disabling access to allegedly infringing material upon receipt of a proper notice
- Adopt a Repeat Infringer Policy to terminate repeat offenders’ access to our services

9. How We Share Your Data

We do not sell personal data. We may share data:
- With third‑party service providers (hosting, analytics, advertising)
- With advertising and analytics partners using cookies or similar technologies
- For legal reasons (to comply with legal obligations or protect users)
- In business transfers (merger, acquisition), provided the recipient honors this Policy

We use industry‑standard safeguards (administrative, technical, and physical) to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure.

11. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Choice of Law

- Indemnification: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Obare from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Site or breach of this Policy.
- Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Obare’s total liability to you for any damages arising from this Policy shall not exceed the fees you paid us in the prior 12 months.
- Choice of Law: This Policy and any disputes arising under it are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts‑of‑law rules, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in San Francisco.

12. Changes to This Policy
