Privacy policy

Last updated: June 2026. Replace with solicitor-reviewed text before public launch.

Who we are

Genitalium operates an educational photographic archive. Contact: privacy@genitalium.local (update before launch).

What we collect

• Photographs you upload (original and processed versions)
• Optional survey answers about you (demographics, identity, life context)—never genital self-descriptions
• Technical data: IP address (rate limiting), upload timestamps

Legal basis (UK GDPR)

Photographs and sexual-life survey data are special category data. We rely on your explicit consent at submission. You may withdraw consent and request deletion.

Survey fields we may store

Age band, country of residence and birth, gender identity, sexual orientation, ancestry (self-described), head hair colour, lifetime sexual partners, sexual activity frequency, height, weight band, hormone therapy, education, smoking, disability (non-anatomical), relationship status, children.

Retention

Originals are deleted from the server after processing and backup to operator storage. Processed images remain published until you request removal. Survey data is retained in anonymized form for research unless deletion is requested.

Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restrict processing, and complain to the ICO. See reporting for removal requests.
